Accepting that Dirk is gone

It didn’t really hit me until Wednesday evening. My family had just finished dinner and my three year old son asked if we could go outside and play. He wanted to throw a football around but after a few minutes of seeing some teenagers shooting around, he asked that we go get the basketball.
