Shadow Puppet Storyteller

Fringe

Grief counseling insight spoken directly by my therapist today, reminded me that as hard as losing my dad unexpectedly may be, I need to think about the time I did get to share with him. That gratitude is so easily lost when you feel out of kilter. It seems so basic: gratitude.Whatever our being together looked like on the physical plane, at whatever point along that timeline, I can focus an appreciation for each . And everytime I remember in an attitude of gratitude, each memory -- it makes what we talked about, or listened to together that much more REAL and solid and TRUE. Does he get to have that insight and experience too? Logically, (or maybe from most people's perspectives, this is more emotion than logic) on "the flip side" I must hypothesize that the function of memory remains.
