I miss my Dad too. He died of a heart attack at age 49. At the time I was 22 and I didn't realize how young 49 is. I also lived in a house that looked all pretty on the outside, but once you opened the door, it was like walking on eggshells. I know now that my Dad suffered from major depression, like myself. Back then, they just prescribed valium. He would have so much help today. His was sudden, the day after father's day, he was gone. There's a song by Mike and the Mechanics called The Living Years. I still look for it on youtube when I'm missing him. He was an avid fly fisherman, that was his escape. I have a big tattoo of a fly on my chest. I know, I'm extreme, but the art and the meaning of this keeps him close to my heart. I know he would love it.

I went to my first AA meeting alone. I thought of him alot that day, he's the only one I would have wanted there.
