Wow! Just when I started learning to blog, the air was totally knocked out of me. My father went to be with Jesus on February 12th and things have been very different for me. My dad was my biggest fan. He was the smartest man ever and definitely, my hero! I miss him terribly but know that I will seem again one day. I keep thinking he is just "away" and will return soon. The hardest part is when I realize that I won't ever see him here on earth again. My dad used to call me everyday at about 5pm. I still find myself running to catch the phone when it rings, hoping to hear his sweet voice again.
I have really started to look at my own life since my dad passed away. I see that I share some of the same attributes as both of my parents. What a wonderful gift! My dad was a collector of many things and my mom can find beauty in unexpected things. We loved going to garage sales to find those hidden treasures. In a world of cell phones, video games and Aeropostale, I hope I can instill the love of 'junk' in my own children!
