I have my own version of this. My dad died in October and although he crosses my mind a lot, it's like that phase of my life has gone. As adults we gained a lot of closure over stuff that was difficult when i was growing up and i thnk that has helped me cope with his loss. I'm not sure it's as if he never existed but I do find it hard to recall that part of my life even though his death was only recently. I live in the now much more and perhaps my soul is simply aware that time goes on.
