Shannon,
Your dad thinks the world of you and I am quite certain you have seen his love for you in action. Please rest assured that Garrett is is with you (all of us) and his spiritual presence has a daily impact on you (all of us).
Life deals us some challanges and the way we work thorugh those challanges defines us. Your openness in this thread indicates to me you are just as strong a person as Garret and your mom and dad.
The memories of our loved ones gone should always be with us. Your memories and emotiions of Garrett are natural and I would worry if they weren't with you. My dad has been gone for 30 years and my memories of him are as strong today as they were the day he left this earth. That, IMHO, is the way it should be.
Prayers to you, your dad and mom on this sorrowful day.
