Thank you all for your replies. It doesn't really make it easier to get over but it is comforting and I am so grateful. I didn't have a perfect relationship with my dad growing up but as he (and I) got older we did become friends. I enjoyed our conversations, his love and respect for nature and will miss being able to give him a hug. I, too and sorry for your losses. It's going to be so different going through the rest of my life missing my Dad.

My dad killed himself February 16, 2005. It was most horrible and my heart is broken. I try to move on, be happy, most of the time I am. I am grateful for my family and for the love I get but....today would have been my parent's anniversary. I am saddened at my Mom's pain, I am saddened at mine. I don't want to be down. I try to remember the good but it's hard sometimes.
