It's been almost 2 years to the day since I lost my dad. Mom has been gone for 20 years already, so he was all I had left. So I know the feels. It will get better. You will find yourself slipping up and forgetting, and the realization of that will bring it all back to the surface for a time. But it will get better. Don't dwell on the arguments and ill will you had (don't worry, we all had it at one time or another), but reminisce about the good times. It may make you cry in the beginning, but you will do it with a smile on your face. Later, the crying will lessen. It will get better.

Thank you. I tell myself that but it is hard.
