This is my second Father's Day without my Dad.
Grief comes at weird times. It hits when I see a fancy Christmas ornaments because Dad obsessed about his Christmas tree. Seriously. He took such joy in re-arranging all of the ornaments (every. single. day). I get happy and then sad when I see a mixed nut selection and think "I need to buy this for Dad." Dad was always hard to buy for (really, Really, REALLY hard to buy for) but mixed nuts were a sure bet!
Happy Father's Day, Dad.

I remember your dad, too, from band parents. Sending love and hugs.
