23.
That's how many years ago I lost my father.
23 years missing him.
23 years without having him here with us.
23 years not hearing his voice.
23 years not being able to hug and kiss him.
23 years of memories that don't include him.
23 years cherishing the time I did have.
23 years of savouring the memories I have.
23.

It still hurts.
I love you dad. Always. Forever.
