I get super attached to clothes that have meaning behind them. For some reason, I usually remember what I wore at momentous occasions.

A little over six years ago, I’d just had a baby and was about to be going back to work post-maternity leave. I had returned home from a good friend’s wedding when my mom called me that I should come home and see my dad before going back to work. My dad had been sick with multiple myeloma since 2010–and he’d actually had some good years of remission, but in 2014, the cancer kept coming back aggressively. She said it felt different this time—that he was ok, but needed treatment quickly and he wasn’t taking the news well. I packed up a few outfits plus some stuff for 2 month old Harry and we went to my hometown for what I thought would be a three day chance to cheer up my dad with my presence and a newborn. Those few days turned into the worst July of my life as I watched my dad slip away from me.

I literally had three outfits I rotated through that month I was home and had to buy “a shitty black dress” (SATC Miranda quote) for his funeral—that was this dress. As I was cleaning my closet out on Friday night I found this dress and was just taken back to the memory of me buying this dress online for my dad’s funeral. I know I won’t get rid of it but I hadn’t seen it in awhile and the memories just came flooding back. (Btw, it’s not shitty—I quite like it and am happy to wear it each summer.)

Today was the day we lost him six years ago (7/19/14). The spontaneous crying doesn’t happen anymore but I’m not exaggerating when I say that I think about him daily. Some days it’s fleeting and some days it’s deeper, but it’s there. It’s something that always stays with you and becomes part of your story. RIP, Dad—love you lots and I hope I’m making you proud.
