My family is a lot like yours. We are very close knit, my parent's house is only 10 minutes away from mine. I called everyday, I would check on both of them. I consider myself lucky as my husband lost his mother before we met and he understood my pain. I still burst into tears at times and it is 10 months. Especially when certain songs play, the morning after my father passed I was driving and passed by the hospice where Dad passed away. As I drove by the song "Have I Told You That I Love You" started to play. I still cry when I hear that song, it is like part of my heart is being ripped out of me. My Dad was my hero, my protector and my cheerleader. Like you I had time to talk to Dad, I told him how much I loved him, how grateful I was to have him as a father. I even apologized for all the times I was difficult and stubborn with him. Nothing prepared me for the deep loss, there are times I still expect him to be in the parlor sitting and waiting for me. The loss I still feel, I try to be there for my mother but its hard to be in the home where he was. The holiday season was very difficult and those I worked with did not understand my non interest. In sharp contrast my husband lost his father six months after mine passed. He was very strong, but his father lived 4 hours away and we had only visited him a few times. My husband called him often but the closeness you and I enjoy with our families he did not have. His family loves each other but there is some emotional and physical distance.
I was reading the posts where people said to just get over it that it is easy. How horrible. But, I know how you feel. My own husband said it to me two days after my dad died, and my husband isn't a bad guy or an abusive husband or anything like that. He's a nice guy who just doesn't get it partly cuz he hasn't lost his parents yet and partly cuz he doesn't have the type of relationships I have. He almost never calls his parents and me and my folks were together almost daily and were bonded so deep that I can't believe even death could break that bond. But, two days after my dad's funeral I was sitting on the couch and just started crying out of no place, and my husband said to me that I couldn't use my dad's death as an excuse forever. What? It was two days after his funeral!!!!! Now, it has been over a year, and I still hurt and miss him every day. Same for my Mom who died before my dad, and I still miss her that much. I can't even begin to understand why people would say something like that. It just seems so hateful. I hope I never said anything like that to anyone before I lost someone I loved enough to understand.

It's been 18 months now. Some days I am fine and some days I still struggle. I take it day by day and am so so thankful I had him.
I miss my dad. That is all I want to say tonight - I miss you, Daddy! I hope you are happy and safe and at peace where you are and that I see you again one day. I love you.
