4 Years Later… Things I Miss About My Father via LaurieJStone
become easier with time, but instead it gets harder. Numbness eventually turned to grief, but each time I think of him the sadness goes deeper, the loss more real. Here are eight things I miss about him…
His love of the little things – Dad was a devoted Yankees fan and watched every game. He loved ripe, red summer tomatoes and would eat them like apples, salting each bite. He loved mint jelly with lamb, late summer corn, and apple pie with a slice of cheddar cheese on the side. If we went to the town carnival, he always had a bag of popcorn. “This is good living,” he liked to say.
His humanity – My father became more vulnerable in his later years, easy to tear-up if something moved him. I once asked about his stint in the navy during the Korean War. He became so emotional he couldn’t talk. Some memories he buried deep. His Swedish temper would flare sometimes, but always blew over. He was never cruel or overbearing.
