aww Sami I am sorry! l would guess it always hurts a little no matter the length of time..
I lost my Dad quite a few years ago.

A strange thing is how we combine memories. The musical piece I heard has nothing to do with the death of my father. I heard it long after that. And this image is also taken in very different context. And yet these three things/occasions gets combined and causes the emotional memory together.

Very poignant photo Sami.

Thank you k.e.s. =) And thanks for a new word learned! =D www.thefreedictionary.com/poignant

maybe this is a way to bear this, to combine memories... it's great that your dad found the way into your other memories ! that keeps him alive in you...

o0o they never leave us ... just a thought away oOo

Indeed, bitter sweet memories...

o0o I know only too well ... oOo

Well said .t.a.o.n. =) That is the wonderful mystery how memories work, which also seem to be the way how our dreams are put together.
