ten years

Not sure how this can be true. Today marks 10 years since my dad's passing.
 

They say it gets easier, but it doesn't. There are always those days. When a certain song comes on, every holiday without them, when something important happens in your life.

And then suddenly, memories begin to fade and you struggle to remember their voice.

Missing him more today and with each passing day.

I love you dad.

 

 

 

The older I get
The more I can see
How much he loved my mother and my sister and me
And he did the best that he could
And I only hope when I have my own family
That everyday I see
A little more of my father in me

He's in my eyes
My heart, my soul
My hands, my pride
And when I feel alone
 And I think I can't go on
I hear him sayin' "Girl you'll be alright"

Song for Dad - Keith Urban

 But you went away
How dare you?
I miss you
They say I’ll be OK
But I’m not going to ever get over you

Over You - Miranda Lambert

happy birthday to the best dad in the world.

11.29.53 - 4.18.03

seven years.

I wish Heaven had a phone, so I could hear your voice again....

I thought of you today, but that is nothing new...

I thought about you yesterday and days before too.

I think of you in silence, I often speak your name.

All I have are memories and your picture in a frame.

Your memory is a keepsake, from which I'll never part...

God has you in his arms...I have you in my heart.

I love you Dad

Good Friday

Today is Good Friday.

Good Friday has the obvious meaning,

but then there is a more personal meaning for me.

On Good Friday Seven Years Ago,

(april 18, 2003)

I lost my dad.

How ironic is it, that Nicholas Sparks Book

"The Last Song" also hit theaters this week

-wednesday, to be exact-

With all the hype about "The Last Song"

-mainly because Miley Cyrus plays the main part-

It has gotten over looked what the movie is really about...

A young girl losing her father.

So in honor of Good Friday, my Dad and Nicholas Sparks,

hd and I will be spending the day at an afternoon

viewing of "The Last Song"

-I mean, if it's already going to be a sad day, why not welcome the tears?-

If you have not gone and seen the movie,

I suggest you do so!

But most importantly, buy the book!!!

Read it and have a gooood cry!

It is one worth owning!

God is good all the time!

All the time God is good!
