do u still remember dad the same way as u did a year and a half back.. do u still get mad with him and have fights? or is it just reduced to "fond" memories... does the human side of dad still exist or is it plain recollection of the past... do u still relate him to the present?? does it still hurt the same??

Things were so abysmal initially that I had lost the will to live. Acrid in everything I did, I was immensely angered by time phlegmatically flowing through its cadence.
