Father…I wonder how he would feel if he could see me now, if he even misses me. I try to picture the look he’d give me, but I can’t. I can’t remember their shape, much less the color of his eyebrows or the length of his hair. Why can’t I remember his face?
John Alvord
This made me think of Stephen King's Dark Tower series. Having forgotten the face of one's father's was a recurring theme.

Makes me laugh everytime I see this phrase used. Almost seems like it's required at least once in every novel.
