Wishing you were here!

Ok so the CUBS are out of the Playoffs, the economy sucks, and it's almost time to vote again. All things I would love to hear my Dad talk about right now. I have also started painting my basement-Dad, I would love to have you come over and watch :)

UGH! Still sad, and angry, that you are gone. I know it has not been that long...

I am having plenty of reminders though...

The other day, I saw his car at my Mom's, and I could still picture him leaning against it having a moe.

I see your clothing and belongings everyday-I am still not quite ready to get rid of things. Sometimes my kids wear your hats or sunglasses around the house. Alex loves digging though Grandpa's treasures.

I ran in to Carol (his girlfriend) at Kohls the other day-during on of the Cubs playoff games-and she had a Cubs shirt on. We hugged and talked for a bit. Then, I went to the van and cried.

I have been doing better, and have not been so emotional, but some things just have that effect. Sometimes, just a simple hymn in church brings me to tears.

One more thing... Katy got pulled over for speeding when we left Mom's today-and yes, she didn't get a ticket. I know, my Dad would just laugh.
