That thing where grief, old grief, hits you out of nowhere. Just saw a photo of my dad who died years ago, and it suddenly felt like it was yesterday.

This should help.

Little inherited her grandad’s digital SLR and sent me a couple of photos she found on the card. It was just Dad goofing around in the garden, probably Dadsplaining something, but it made me smile and cry a little.

I get this. The box and ball analogy works for me. I miss my Dad so much.

Photo of my Mum taken years ago popped up my phone this week. Totally got me as it’s a picture I rarely see. She died in 2016. I get it. ❤️‍🩹

Blind-sided, right? First time it happened to me, well after I thought I had it under control, I was clothes shopping & saw some scrawny little leggings like my mom used to wear. Utterly lost it, right there in Kohls clearance section.

I've reached the point where i sometimes forget mine existed. Which is mad. I feel like everyone's dad died in recent years. Suspicious.

Oh mate. Know it well. Hope you’re ok.

With you there. With me, it's music. My Dad was an accomplished musician (Royal Academy etc). He used to practice when I was in bed as a kid. When I hear some of his favourite pieces..... 😪

Happened to me when I found a mass card for my mate Dennis the mad bastard and remembered all the silly shit we did together. Had to pull myself to one side and have a moment. So you're not alone.
