She said he looked like Harrison Ford
My daughter said that about her dad.
I never saw the resemblance till she pointed to it.
There are no photos of him in view at her house.
I have his photos everywhere.
Her younger sister and I share anecdotes of him.
The older one not so much.
I remember she was ten when I lost my dad.
She dearly clung to her daddy that day
more than her persona allowed.
Grief’s gaping hole rips and drags at
varying speeds, times, and depths.

Strong stuff
What a haunting story. Thanks for sharing!
I love it when poets tell complex stories in a few words!
Nicely done, Linda! I like how you tie in your dad to how your daughters felt.
I like the title and how it leads into this deeper story.
Thanks all for the feedback!
The last line seems to explain all the situations you are grappling with in prior lines.
