It's 4 years on Wednesday since my dad died. Last year I met 1 of my sisters for a picnic and I can't remember what I did the year before. I know the one year anniversary was very tough and dp sent me and ds on a home made treasure hunt to take our minds off it as he was at work. I don't have anywhere special to go to remember my dad as he was cremated, not buried, and the ashes were scattered at Hell's Mouth in Cornwall, which is too far for a day trip. All of the city I live in reminds me of him though as I lived here and with him for a while in my twenties.
This Weds my step sister is coming round and we're going to drink some Champagne and toast his life but I just wondered what other people do and if any of it helps? I think my dad would say, if he were here, something like 'I want you to remember me in your heart and on every day, not just this one.' But of course, he isn't here to tell me that and I just wondered what you do, if anything. TIA.
