We had a bench put under the tree by my Mom's grave. When I am home I go there to talk with her all the time. I know she is not there, I know her spirit is in heaven, but for me it is a quiet place to sit and think and as I talk to her work out some of the things going on in my life, the good and the bad. I totally understand your conversations with your Dad while you are running, you just keep having them. BLess You.
How wonderful to wear his sweatshirt. I have some of my Grandma's clothes...wore one of her old gowns last night! Makes me feel so close to her and she has been gone since December, '06. Keeps you warm in more than one way. xo, Cheryl
I'm glad you enjoy the conversations and the warm hugs. I have lots of conversations with my mom - and even those conversations held in silence bring me great comfort and insight.
You know- My Dad has been gone since I was 21 and I STILL have conversations with him...usually when I am in the car and driving some place. A Dad's love is always just a word away~ Bless you this Christmas Season as you move forward- xo Diana
I'm glad you have that sweatshirt to keep you warm with Dad's love. I talk to my dad all the time and to the greatest love of my life too. I have been talking to them alot lately about good times past. You keep talking baby and running.
That is so awesome that you have a sweatshirt of his. When it wears out, you should make a pillow out of it or something. I'm pretty sure he hears you and knows how much you love him.
I apologize for not being around in awhile, and, OMG, what a time for you. I'm sorry, sooo sorry! The loss of a parent is a pain beyond words. Run - hold that sweatshirt - flood your senses so the tears can dry and the smiles of remembrance will be wider. Hugs!
I am so happy you are enjoying your alone time with thoughts of your Dad. Some of my most memorable conversations these days are the ones in my bush surrounded by trees, birds and the sound of water talking to my Dad who I know has always been listening.Sometimes if I really concentrate I can still hear his advice. They are always with you and he likes those times too. Enjoy. B
Sweet friend. I haven't been making my rounds as usual, what with the busy time of year and all. I read this post, about talking to your Dad. Oh my how I relate. I lost my darling Dad 8 years ago, right before the holidays. I am an only girl of 5. My father and I were very, very close. He called me Mouse. He got me mice all the time. When he passed, I brought home his sweatshirt that night. I slept in it. I kept it hung by my door, and wore it all the time. I am an outdoor enthusiast, and I used to tell my Mom, that I had such nice talks with Dad when I was outdoors in my gardens, wearing his sweatshirt. I still wear it. A lot. It has now been washed, and the scent of him no longer lingers. But I feel him. Every day. In my heart. God Bless you and your Daddy. Kris
I have lost 2 of my 3 Son's in the last 3 years,,,I feel I'm qualified to tell you I feel your pain.. Having lost my Dad then Mom and my only brother, I'm about the only one alive now days. I want to tell you that I miss them so much, always will and I talk to them all, all the time. God Bless!

This is certainly the time of year for bittersweet feelings.

Wear his sweatshirt to keep the cold out. You don't need it to keep his love in...it completely envelops you, forever.
Happy memories will sustain you through this difficult period. Hold on.
Happy running! Nothing like nature's cathedral...
Running is good ... so is remembering. Your dad loves you too.
Nothing can ever take that away from you...happy running my friend! xxoo
I have a small keepsake urn tucked under some greenery in a basket atop shelves in the livin' room.

Those memories and conversations can be so wonderful. God bless you as you get through a difficult season without your beloved Dad.
What a wonderful way to remember your dad and his great love. Keep talking, he's listening.
He hears you. He is in everything you do. Find comfort in that. Take care.
Hang in there. Hugs
Looks like a neat wash to be running in. Bet you really get a good workout. Find any arrowheads in the wash? Hugs.
This sounds like a time of growing for you. The sweatshirt sounds like a tangible thing that keeps your Dad close to your heart.

I understand completely as I still have conversations with my dad who died 12 years ago. It's a comfort to me, too!
