Yesterday, while subbing in phy ed I went over to the bin of basketballs. I started handing out a basketball to each child, not thinking about much of anything. Then, almost out of nowhere, I came across a refereeing shirt scrunched up at the bottom of the bin.
Ahhhhhhhh....Dad, another reminder.
It's little things like this that are starting to make me smile.
Small reminders of my Dad, that seem to pop up when I am least expecting them. Things like this can totally turn my day around, and/or put a smile on my face.
Now that the holidays are so close, I find myself missing my Dad and thinking about what the holidays will be like without him.
I've always missed him since he has passed, so I still have those feelings, but during the holidays it's a deeper kind of miss.
Dad invented our annual gift exchange-too save some $ of course, but at any rate, this was always a blast.
Katy, Sam, and I all put our names in a hat, along with Dad and Carol, and we exchanged names. We always said we'd never tell who we had, but by the end of that gathering, everyone knew who they had! :)
