After Christmas my father in law was very ill and had to be admitted to hospital. I found that very hard.
Also a friend that I know lost her dad at Christmas. She was much closer to her Dad than I have ever been with my Dad.
I look to God the Father in Heaven as my Father , since my Dad lost the right to be my Dad after what he did. I have forgiven him, but never forget, and never to see him .
My father in law cares a lot for us and so I do not want to lose any one. He has recovered thankfully.
Sometimes other peoples lives, makes us think of our own lives.
