Gel Pen

I bought a package of Gel Pens a couple of weeks ago. The other day, I opened up the package because I had to write out a check. As soon as I felt the smooth glide of the pen, my immediate thought was that Dad would have loved this pen. Living so far away from family, at times, I think that he is just there. At home. But then, I know he is not. I wonder when this pain of missing him will go away.
