{{{hugs}}} I lost my dad 12 years ago.

As time went by, I wondered how I would answer the question, "Does it ever get better?"

I thought, and came up with, "No - but it gets different, and in that way it gets better."

In that first photo I can see a twinkle in his eye! Am I right in thinking he liked to clown a bit?

My sympathies in your loss...may wonderful memories bring you peace.
