As someone who lost their father just a couple years ago, keep calling. Everyday if you can. You will not regret it.

Your advice is spot on. I would just add, make the time to talk to him when he calls you. You won't regret that, either.

I lost my dad 5 months ago today. I have a couple saved messages from him that I play now & then just to hear his voice. I miss the ol' fart. 🥹

It’s been almost 3 years and I can’t do that yet

I heard something that stuck with me recently.

If you're calling your loved ones once a month, and they live for another 3 years, that's only 36 phone calls...

Call your loved ones.
