This week….
This week, we have lost our patriarch…..
We have cried because we lost our daddy, our mentor, our friend……
We have mourned…..
We have remembered…..
We have laughed and smiled and celebrated his life…..
We have leaned on each other and found joy in the faces of our youngest…..
We cherished the memories of Christmas past……
And through it all, just like always……We did it as a family……
And for just that, I am thankful.

Just think of your dad and G having an awesome reunion and talking about YOU sweetie. ((HUGS))
Kim, I don’t have any words…. just know that I’m thinking of you and your family. **hugs**
Kim, I found your blog on the site of another woman I admire immensely (T.Cole). As I’ve stumbled through my own life this last year, I’ve found inspiration in your writing. Your pain has sometimes made me feel as if I were interloping and I’d stay away for a day or two…but always come back to make sure you are ok. Now the loss of your dad breaks my heart….I left my job of 17 years (that I loved) to be near my dad as his health declines. Those of us blessed with wonderful dads have had a fortunate life. You are in my thoughts.
