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.
