I miss my daddy

(Me and my dad)


Today is my father's birthday.  I think about him often and I believe that he is happy in Heaven, watching over us.  When he passed away, I didn't believe that I had any regrets about him.  I hope that I treated him with respect and kindness.  I regret now not getting to know him better and documenting more about his life.   I don't remember him as the old guy he was at the end.  I remember him when he was younger and vibrant and full of life and fun; holding my hand walking down a beach somewhere.  I miss you, daddy.  I hope that you are dancing to jazz and eating seafood up in Heaven with all your friends and pets that you loved.  I think this is how he wants me to remember him.

  1. i am so sorry DG, not to sound corny or rip off Hallmark, but he is never truly gone so long as you remember and think of him.

  2. Its truly a sad fact when our dearest leave us for ever. This makes should make us more appreciative of those close to us who are still with us.

  4. I know exactly how you feel, my father passed 2 years ago and his birthday is coming on July 7th. I miss him so much and it is really hard at times, especially when I think of my kids not knowing him like I did. I just think of him as being in a better place, watching us and I feel better. {{hugs}}

  6. Those were such nice pics of you and your dad DG! I lost my Mom a few years back, and can understand how hard it is sometimes to be without them and to have the yearning to have gotten a chance to know them better! But even the time we were given was a blessing and they are a part of us so I think we know them better than we know :)

  7. Beautiful writing. Makes me prioritize spending more time with my two year old son on this July 4th weekend.

Thanks for stopping by and it is so nice to hear from you! Just a few words on commenting: Through this blog, I won’t tolerate intolerance, hatred, finger-pointing or personal vendettas. If I even get those types of comments, I will most likely delete them because I believe it defeats the purpose of positive efforts and energy. Stop the hate.
