It's my Dad's birthday today. Gosh, how I miss him. As a way of celebrating him today, I wanted to share what I had written for my his memorial. As I read through it before publishing it, I cried all over again. I also smiled and laughed thinking of him. I hope those that read this can get a little sense of the man my Dad was and smile, laugh and cry along with me. No one ever tells you how hard it will be. No one ever tells you how heartbreaking and life changing it will be.

We're already wrapping up another year?! How is that even possible? It feels like just five minutes ago I was dealing with the aftermath...

It's not about you! I know that's hard for a lot of us to hear but there's also quite a few of us that NEED to hear it - myself included....
