It is four years since my dad died unexpectedly.
I miss him.
Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart
and try to love the questions themselves ...
Don't search for the answers,
which could not be given to you now,
because you would not be able to live them.
And the point is, to live everything.
Live the questions now.
Perhaps then, someday far in the future,
you will gradually, without even noticing it,
live your way into the answer.

I always thought you looked like your mom. Maybe the gorgeous red hair that you share with her was all I was really looking at. Seeing the picture of your dad, young and sans moustache, I suddenly noticed how much you look like him. Your eyes, your cheekbones, your jaw... I can't believe I never saw that before. That's it. Random observation.

it's been a little over a year for me losing my dear Daddy in the same month, almost the same day as yours, Feb. 15, 2005, the very worst day of my life. i can completely and wholeheartedly emphathize with you......
i'm the above anonymous and forgot to also write that I have that very same quote from rainer maria rilke on my desk and it makes me think of my Daddy too.
