Dad, you have been gone almost a 1 1/2 years. We have made to through one christmas without you. I am finding this upcoming christmas just as tough. I thought I was doing well with losing you, going on with so many changes in my family life in the past year and a half. I just realized the reason I am so crabby is because I miss you and the way things were. New town, new job, new family dynamics, it's like every-one depends on me now. Who do I fall on? Thank you for being my confidant, my friend, my camping buddy, my dad, and being my rock for so many years. Never did you tell us what to do, or even hint at what you think we should do. Now, I know you would be proud of all of us. Your son, the one who wanted to quit, is going to the olympics this winter, your oldest daughter is making the right health choices, and I received a call for the job of my dreams the day after you died. We are all doing well, we were all upset, but we talk alot. We know you are not here to pat us on back, but without you, we wouldn't have made it. Photos aren't enough anymore, your voice, the feel of your hand is fading but your spirit is with us, we feel it and cherish it, and will continue to carry it like the olympic torch!

I Miss My Dad
