Happy Birthday Daddy!

My Daddy would have been 55 today. I know I'll always miss him, but some days it seems so fresh still. I frequently feel like he is close by, which you would think helps, but it doesn't really. One of the hardest things is this: I will see a picture of an eagle, or maybe an old tv show we both liked is selling episodes on dvd, and I want to call and tell him. Or something funny will happen and I want to call and tell him. Or I have a question about something, however unimportant or important, and I want to call and ask him. And I can't. That's what is hardest... the moment I remember that he's gone. After 5 years, you'd think I wouldn't forget... but I had him for just over 26 years! So obviously that won't be wiped away after just 5 years. But still... I miss him so much!!!!! I love you Daddy!

Your Daddy loved you guys so much! I remember the day you were born-he was strutting around like a rooster-wanting everyone to see his beautiful baby! He was so proud of all of you. I don't think we will ever get use to losing our parents-we'll always want to call and share things with them. Just remember how much they love you-and when you see MASH, or an eagle-remember the wonderful times and memories you have with your Daddy. love you, mama
