It’s coming up to a year I lost my dad my best friend! He passed away from a rare blood cancer watching someone you love Fade away due to such a cruel disease is heartbreaking. I miss him so much still waiting for some sort of sign from him I know it sounds crazy but I just need some sort of sign. It’s so hard to carry on go to work and just be normal when you feel empty inside a part of me died when he did.
