Apr 10 | I have to say ‘I love you’ in a song
So…my dad died.
It was completely unexpected and it’s going to take time to work through the shock of losing him. Right now, although I feel like I was hit by a truck, I am also incredibly grateful: for being at VST, one of my favourite places, when I got the news; for the love, prayers, and support from all of my family and friends; and for the fact that, a couple of years ago, I decided to start saying, “I love you” every time Dad and I said goodbye. He was not a demonstrative person in terms of emotion or affection and it took me a long time to learn and appreciate the love that often rested underneath silence as we drove to his place or looked at the mountains outside his house in Squamish or laid down a track in his basement. I will miss him so much.
If you’re a praying type, your prayers are very appreciated.
Thanks all of you for being my friends.
