It's Father's Day and I miss my father! It has been almost 2 years since he has passed away and not a day has gone by that I have not thought about him.
Dad, I think about you more today because it is Father's Day. I miss our traditional visits and gatherings on this day. I remember the cookouts at my house in Ripon. Those were good times. Today, as I travel home from a family trip to Michigan, I think of you. Stories of remember when are going though my head.
Listening to my kids ask "how much longer?" reminds me of our trips to IL. I am thankful I have a husband and children to spend the weekend with. Spending time with them reminds me of things we did when I was young.
I know I said this before, but I will say it again. Dad, thank you. I am glad I spent almost 28 years of my life with you. I am thankful for that time. Yes, it was cut very short when you passed, but I am thankful for the time that we did have. I can only imagine what life would be like with you still here. Know that we still love you and think of you often. Today, when I arrive home, I will do something in your memory.
Dad, you loved and are missed. Happy Father's Day!
