Remembering...

Eight years ago today, I lost my Dad. This day is never fun. Heck, February is NEVER fun, but I have been trying to find some answers and find some peace. Over the last few weeks, some things have happened that have made me realize that my Dad IS truly with me and my family all the time. We have many things to be grateful for this year. This is my hero - my Dad. The one thing that makes me so sad is him not being able to take Griffin fishing - I really believe they would be going every weekend.


And then I think of this - his two youngest grandsons having the time of their lives. I also believe that both boys are healthy, happy kids because they have a special angel on their side. How lucky are they?

I am so happy my family came over today so we can think of February 28th in a good way.

Thank you, Dad. You gave me such an amazing life. We love you and miss you.

Kimmie, I can only imagine how tickled your daddy gets when he looks down on your sweet baby (and all of his grandkids)! He has the best view and would be very proud of you, mamma!
