"May You Rest In Peace Daddy"

You know I had mixed emotions of what I'm about to blog about.
Some people have a different way of going about things in life.
This blog.
This blog,
 my Dad loved.
He thought it was
"so neat"
 {as he would say}
He was my number 1 fan.

I received at the LEAST  an e-mail from him once a day,
commenting on my blog.
If I took a break
-boy!
I'd hear about it.
He loved my blogging,
 he loved hearing about my rants and raves,
loved hearing how wonderful the Mr. is to me..
But no more.
I will never see another e-mail from him.
Will never hear his gruff voice again.
He passed on last night.

There are so many little things I'll miss about him.
Too many to list...
He had a huge heart for his family...he loved his family.
I still keep remembering him as when I was a little girl.
He always smelled like "Old Spice".
Dressed nice.
His laugh...he had a different laugh..
he always said,
.."you see.." after every sentence..
I can still picture how he did his hair.
I have his crooked middle fingers.
Everytime I look at my hands.
I see him.

I will miss him very much
and at the same time,
 still make him proud everyday
of me.

I miss you Dad.
Your finally at peace and not suffering anymore.
I love you very much.

So sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a parent is never easy no matter what. I lost my Dad in a car wreck when I was only 16 and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of him and how much he would have loved his grandchildren.

I hope you find peace in your fond memories that time can never erase.

Many hugs and prayer for you my friend!!!

OXOXOX
