Dear Dad
The void you left was something I felt from an early age. To cope, I would find solace in my mom's closet, pouring over old family photos of you and me. As I grew older, the photo albums thickened, but the images of you remained the same, a poignant reminder of your lengthening absence. This lack of change served as a bittersweet memory that haunts me to this day.

P.S. I Loved You
P.S., I loved you. Mum passed away from cancer when I was 17. Dad was 53. For the next five years or so, Dad and I learned to rely on one another and relate to each other as we never had before. The relationship as father and son that I'd always wanted with him became reality for the first time, and I loved it. In many ways, he became my closest friend. However, I was too immature to comprehend the loneliness growing in his heart. After all, I was 1,200 miles away at college most of the time. He was still very much a man ready for love, and just as I prepared to graduate from my undergrad program and move home, he was preparing to remarry. In my shortsightedness and his dislike of confrontation, neither of us acknowledged the obvious: His new wife wouldn't want me living there. It got ugly quickly, and my close relationship with Dad soured, almost to the point of utter dissolution.

My father's size ten shoes were "big shoes to fill" is an understatement when I reflect on his impact on my life.

It took years to reconcile the difference as I matured into a man and a father. Harold Wade remains my Superman, North Star, and hero as I plod forward into the future across the ground he has already tread. His race through life, eighty-nine laps around the sun, impacted mine with invaluable lessons.
