But that's not a bad thing. And it's not an entirely good thing either.
Life goes on. The pain of his death, for me, is gone. I have accepted it. Nevertheless, there is a feeling of missing that is neither painful nor comfortable, but something in between... a resolution that this is just the way life goes... chipping away at us day by day. Giving and taking.
I like the mountain tops much more than the valleys. But I have to admit I learn so much more in the valleys.

I understand your feelings. While my dad has been gone for a longer time, the stark reality that I am the end of the chain now is overpowering. It was always comforting to know I had someone to ask advice about. Realizing that I am now that person to my family is a heavy load sometimes. I miss just getting to talk.
Beautiful post David!
