Today

Today I'm missing my dad.   He would have been excited to see me last night and here the stories from my trip Colorado!    But I received a thank you note from a cousin with a nice reminder of how much I remind her of him ;)   A huge compliment!! 

So, on this day - I sit with a bit of sadness, I smile at how lucky I was, and I try to remember that he is with me.   By being the things we loved most about those that are gone, we honor their legacy.

Dad:  may I have your enthusiasm, your generosity, your ability to listen to my son's stories with the same eagerness, curiosity and genuine interest.  May the people around me have no doubt of my love.  I never doubted your love and recognize now what an eternal gift that was.  Missing you...
