Eleven Years



Eleven years. To some it seems like a long time, to me it seems like just yesterday. Just yesterday that my world was turned upside down. Just yesterday that I lost my Dad. I'll admit the pain has eased with time but I still miss him. I miss his hug, I miss his smell, I miss the way his tongue would touch his bottom teeth when he laughed. I miss the sparkle in his eye, the way he would tease me, the sound of his voice. What I wouldn't give to get that all back! I wish he was here to know my husband and my sons. They bring me great joy and I know he would be so proud. I'm grateful that I no longer carry the anger that I once had. I'm thankful that from a horrible situation I was able to become a pretty decent adult. I'll forever honor his memory. I love you Dad.

Hey! Welcome to blogger world. It's addicting. Well, I'm glad we can see what you guys are up to. Too bad we aren't there to go to Gardner Village. That sounds fun. Tyler is looking tall and grown up. I can't believe it. Your boys are so cute!
