I started this blog soon after my dad passed away on June 18th, 2009. I wanted to get as many details of the experience down on record, because I thought as the years went by, it would be harder to remember losing him. I am glad that I did, however, what I have learned is that 5 years later, it is all still as fresh in my mind as if it were yesterday.
I still can't help thinking why didn't I go over there that last night after Julia's ballgame? I could have talked to him one more time. Given him one last kiss on the cheek. I do not have regrets about our relationship. I just really miss hearing his voice. And that deep cackling laugh. Calling me caboose or running away from one of my emotional rants.....
I miss you a lot Dad. I know you are in a better place, and I will see you again one day, but in the meantime, Dan and I talk about you, and the fun we had with you. We tell the girls crazy Chico stories and look at pictures. We pray for you. We love you.
