(((Preds))), my friend. My heart goes out to you and to all who love your father.

This is part of an essay, written by a daugher a decade after her father passed away, which has comforted my heart when I miss my dear father, and I hope it's helpful to you.

"...She sees him in her sister's smile.

She hears him when she writes something that is particularly good – or particularly bad.

She feels his delight in the tomatoes she tries to grow and his chuckle at the birds that claim every blasted last one of them.

She thinks of him when she sees a hibiscus in bloom or the cut of the mountains he loved against the desert sky at sunset.

Or the sight of any man with a well-loved and oh-so-lucky daughter.

And so she stands here, at the end of a decade without him, blessed and grateful and ready for all the next steps that will come in her life because she knows now what she couldn't possibly have understood 10 years ago -- that a part of him is here still.

Good dads, you see, never really die. They are with you always.

All those years she thought she was wrapping him around her little finger? Turns out he was wrapping himself around her heart."
