Two years certainly seems like long time...but in losing my father and best friend, it has felt like time stands still on that snowy February day. He truly shaped the person I am today in so many ways. An appreciation of the subtle, complex, absurd, or joyous things in life is now a part of me taken directly from him. I think his influence reached so many more people than I ever realized. I wish wish wish...that the day of his memorial when I got up to say a few words, that I had snapped a picture of the sea of people there to celebrate Dennis. That image in my mind's eye consoles me at times; to know how loved he was as a mentor, friend, husband and father.
