Tonight, folding laundry, I thought of my Dad.
A pair of Steve's windpants (like the ones you used to wear) and that was all it took to get me thinking. Dad, I miss you. Others miss you too. I often wonder how you are...what you are doing...and if you are ok. My faith helps somewhat, but I still have these questions running though my head. I can't think of the last day I haven't had a thought of you. In fact, I don't think there has been a single day since you have passed away, that I have not had something pop into my head that reminded me of you. I like that. I never want to lose this sense of remembrance of you. I like remembering good times, and sometimes I think about the not so good times. Either way, I think of you often.
I love you Dad!

Chicago Trip down memory lane
The rush of the holidays are over. I am finding that time doesn't sit still these days. Between my family and work. I have been a busy lady.
We recently took a trip to Chicago to recharge as a family. This was a well deserved and well needed vacay for us all.
Of course, going back there brought back memories of Dad.
Cub Fans everywhere, seeing the L Train which we took to Wrigley, driving though downtown, sightseeing, Solider Field, museums, and so much more.
We even made a trip to the HARPO Studios so I could have my pic taken by the OPRAH sign. :)
I thought of my Dad and our trips to visit relatives in IL. Paying tollways, shopping at G Mills. The drive provided me with lots of time to think and remember of those times.
It saddens me to think that those times are long gone and that I will not get to do those things with my Dad again, but on the other hand...I feel happy to be able to provide my children with some of the same adventures.
Dad, you would have been proud of us, and I know you were smiling down on us when we thought of you. I prayed silently at each spot that reminded me of my Dad. I couldn't help, but to smile when memories flooded my head.
We hope to travel back in the spring, and catch a CUBS game with the boys.
Dad, you are thought about and missed, everyday.
