This is beautiful, Caroline. And raw and I feel it. I lost my dad in 2020 and the holiday season has never been the same. Sending you strength and love as you navigate the "newness" of this season.

These words resonate with me: "I feel this everywhere when I focus my mind. And sometimes I do feel your presence as if you delight in the happenings of earth. Delight in me again."

Strangely, in a way, I feel closer to my dad now than when he was still with us. This sometimes makes me feel guilty, like I took him for granted perhaps, but mostly, I let it comfort me - knowing he is here, like you say, delighting in me, still.

I'm so glad that you resonated with this, Allison and I'm so sorry for your loss. Grief is a strange, beautiful, hard journey. Grateful that we never have to walk it alone.
