They miss you daddy....

The first Father's Day without my dad

June 21, 2009 marked the first father's day with out my dad. It was horrible. Every where I turned every store, commercial, e-mail, etc.. reminded me I no longer have my father. I knew it would be hard and I got through it. My mom called and wanted to visit dad's grave site and I agreed. It did not seem real since his foot stone has not been placed yet. I think once I visit his pot and actually see his name on a stone, it will become real and final. Mom, Don Kristina, Adam, Ethan, Jeremiah, Mikey, Paige, Matt and I went. I can't say the visit went well due to some things that were said, but that shall be left for a future blog.

I miss my father and the glue that held the family together and functioning. It just is not the same without him.

I miss him dearly and still long to hear his voice, smell his smell, and just have a conversation with him.
