Three years ago on June 14th around 10 am, my sister Carrie called me and I hit ignore on my phone because I was at Sea World with D. She called me again- and again I hit ignore. She then called D who answered and handed me the phone. In that very brief conversation two things happened. My world stopped and one of my hero's had fallen. My Dad had a heart attack and never woke back up. He died 2 days later.
To say I miss him is an understatement. I think about him everyday. Every.Single.Day. I am not sure it gets easier, but it gets tolerable- thanks to time. He didn't get to say good bye and I am not sure if that bothers me or not. I say that, because I knew how he felt about me and he knew how I felt about him. I am pretty sure he didn't come from a family that said I love you every single day but my Mom did. And him and my Mom created that type of family, my family. A very loving and loyal family.
I wrote this blog today not to be sad but to remember and to celebrate on what a great dad I had! And to be thankful for the type of family he helped create with my mom. It has been a wonderful example for my new family with Darrell, Stella, and soon Gracie. Happy Father's day this weekend to one of my hero's, my Dad. The best Dad. Cheers!
