I never knew national grief awareness week existed up until today. When I decided to search #grief on Instagram - because I was missing you and needed some comfort. So I took to Instagram to find some comforting words. Because writing about my feelings when it comes to you isn't easy.
In this week of awareness, I've come to see all the ways I have grown up without you. I'm aware more than ever than I was at 15 years old - what life without you really means. At 15 I barely knew myself, but there I was trying to figure it out - figure these feelings out, figure life out without you.
I am aware now that in this lifetime I won't be able to experience the grown relationship between Father and Daughter - I am aware of all the moments and memories that could have been but never will be. I am aware of it all, and although you are no longer here as I've grown I've come to a level of self-awareness that in love and soul you'll always be there.
