Hard to believe nearly half a lifetime has slipped on by. I was 34, he was 66. I was already well underway as a family man but sure could have used his counsel well beyond. Didn't really resonate at the time that he "died young" but that has become apparent in the unfolding years. He and my mom didn't quite make it to their 40th anniversary, mine is coming up in a couple of months. That seems more surreal than the 30 years that have gone by since he passed. It just seemed my parents were married "forever". Times a funny thing.

Time is a funny thing. I have lived longer without my dad than with. My mom died about 20 years ago. I still catch myself thinking "I'm gonna call mom and dad ".
Edited to add:
Sorry for your loss.

Yes indeed. I have similar thoughts.
My Dad died in 1988 at the age of 82. He live a full life.
Looking at it today I am just 15 years shy of that 82 year of age benchmark.
Putting thing of this nature into a certain perspective can be enlightening for sure.

My dad passed 2 months after yours, Auf, in May of 1994. Sixty two years of age, I was 36. I've outlived him now by 6 years.
He was a great man, and I miss him every day.
Thirty years ago, eh? I hadn't thought of that until now.

My mom passed 12 years ago just shy of her 79th birthday. March is a bad anniversary month for my kin. It's a weird thing when the last parent goes. No matter your age there is a bit of a feeling of being orphaned. So many times in discussion with my brothers about family history we end up realizing there isn't anyone to call for clarification anymore. The last of my elders passed late last year, an aunt who was 100.
