I still have an email from my dad (the last he sent me) that I have marked as unread and pinned in my inbox. It makes me feel like he is still nearby, available to chat or email. I am Christian and feel strongly that I will see my dad again, but in the meantime, I love seeing the email at the top of my in box.
Being here has raised some of those feelings again. There are ghosts and memories here that mean a lot to me. Not having Dave and Jim here makes being here deep, truly deep. I'm working on changing these feelings over to being like my dad's email. These are ghosts and memories that I am finding myself happy to be around again.
And all of you make it even better. You are so kind and welcoming. This is a home I'm happy to return to, ghosts and all.
RIP Dave. You are a true friend and wonderful man!
