Today is my Dad's birthday. If he was still alive, my husband, the kids, and I probably would be going to his house tonight. He would of loved the hand made cards the kids would of made.
My Dad was a good man. He was not perfect, and our relationship was not without blemishes. But, I loved him a lot; and, I miss him. I wish he could be here so my girls could know him.
My Dad was young (early 50's) when he died; and, he left us unexpectedly. The day after Easter 2007 we brought him into the hospital, he was unconscious for a few weeks, then he died.
I want to believe that he knows my girls and is still a part of our lives somehow, somewhere.
Grief is an interesting aspect to life.
Happy Birthday Dad .... I think the girls will still make you a card. I miss you.
