January still stings 20 years after my dad's death

I'm still getting chills thinking about this story 
. It's amazing how much a life can impact your own, even years after it's gone. I remember losing my grandma a few years back and it was like my whole world was turned upside down. But seeing the way you described your dad's courage in the face of cancer is just heartbreaking 
. I think what gets me is that even though he's not here anymore, his memory lives on through all of us who loved him, including our own kids 
. And can you imagine how cool it would be to have a grandpa like that?

u know when we used to stay up till 2 am watching "Dragon Ball Z" or something 
it was like our lives were so simple back then no phones no social media just good ol' fashioned entertainment that didn't require a battery

It's so surreal how life can move forward even when grief feels like it's stuck in time 
. I think what resonates with me the most is how you're holding on to the memories and trying to imagine what your dad would be like if he were here today 
. It's beautiful that his legacy lives on through you and your family - I don’t know anyone who wouldn't want their parents to see them grow up and have kids 
. The line "he may be just a short-term guest in your lives now" is so poignant, it still gives me chills 
. Anyway, kudos to you for keeping his memory alive and sharing your story
