Hello Lotty, I'm sorry that your dad died 5 years ago. From reading your post It comes across that you were very fond of your dad, especially as you say you think about him every day. I don't think you were selfish at all for wanting him to be around longer, it must have been a very difficult time for you. Of course I do not know the details of your relationship with your dad but from the caring nature of your words, I feel he would have every reason to be proud of you. The things you shared together and your memories of him, his words to you and so on, will remain with you. As you say, you will never forget him. You'd be very welcome to share some special memories if you liked? I enjoy hearing people talk about moments they shared with their loved ones. My experience of bereavement from important figures in my life is that often there aren't that many times I can share with others how lovely my friends were or how much they meant to me.
Oops, now I have eyes full of tears ... And whilst that's because I feel sad about losing people who were important to me, it's also a good thing because I am thinking about how special they were.... In just the same way that no doubt your dad was special to you.
xXx
