Today would have been Dad's 92 birthday. He had a great life, as we all know, but I still feel he left us too soon. I find myself wanting to call him about this or that. It hurts when I once again realize that I can't. I know we'll be together again in heaven, and this life is but a blink of an eye, but until then I'll cherish all he was to all of us.
Hi Jeff and everyone else ... This blog is really neat. Thanks for the doing it. I went to the Cemetery on Apr 4 on my way home from the VA. I saw the flowers and Happy Birthday Balloons Lynne and Jeanine left.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, it was a very strange visit. Nothing bizarre just a realization both of our parents are gone. I stood there while another grave was being dug behind me. Brought back memories when I worked at the cemetery the summer after graduating. Lots of different emotions rumbling around. When I finally left I was sad and yet strangely encouraged to keep plugging. I believe our parents placed their hand on my shoulder and gave me hope and strength.
Take care ...Rick
