Hang in there Jeff, i lost my father 10 years ago this coming August. It's not something you can forget but as time passes the pain eases and this makes it easier to deal with. My familly had "rough days" before, during and after the anniversary of his death, it was so hard for the first few years.
Just remember all the good times you had with your dad and focus on them- it helped me no end and may help you.
Above all, never lose your sense of humor. The ability to smile and laugh during the greiving process is important, it helps to take the edge of the pain.
