In loving memory....


Today marks a year since my Dad passed away.  It has been a rough year.  I know that it has been a lot easier for me than for my Mom, she's still struggling.  I have hard days, but I also have more distractions.  I still can't listen to the radio without flipping stations like crazy, it's hard to listen to most songs.  Especially ones that I know he liked.  I don't know if I'll ever be able to listen to the Temptations again without crying.  It's really tough losing someone you love so much.  There's a big ache inside and a hole is left in your heart.  Everytime I think about him there is a tightening in my chest and I just have to change what I'm doing or I'm a blubbering mess.  I know as time goes on the pain will lessen, but I don't want the memories to fade.  I am going to try really hard to keep his memory alive and help my kids to remember, and know their Grandpa.  He was a great man and I love him very much!

My favorite picture of my Dad and me

Here's a song that reminds me of my Dad
Always something there to remind me

I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me,
And every step I take recalls how much in love we used to be.
Oh, how can I forget you?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you, and I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me, whoa oh whoa
When shadows fall, I passed a small cafe where we would dance at night
And I can't help recalling how it felt to kiss and hold you tight
Oh, how can I forget you?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you, and I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me, whoa oh whoa, whoa oh whoa


I miss and love you Dad!

I think about you and your dad a lot actually. I'm scared to death to loose my dad so it makes me so sad for you. I always wonder how you are doing but never dare ask since I don't want to make you cry. I hope it gets easier for you.
