One Year
a year ago today is when we had to say goodbye to my dad. we miss him everyday. mom explained the feeling of today well when she said something like "there is just an underlining of extra sadness today".
it's true. there was.
days like this you are especially grateful for forever families.

I thought of you and your family and Wayne all day. I wished there was something I could do or say to help but I realized all we can do is remember all the great love he had for everybody and especially his family. Your Mom was right, there was extra sadness because we all love him and still miss him. I love this picture too because it reminds me of many years of fun, laughter, teasing, and memories of happy days with Wayne. He will always be missed in our family circle but are glad he will always be in our eternal family circle.
I wanted to say something... but then the above statement is perfect.. Ditto! love you guy's!
Stacy,
I don't know if you and your mom are readers, but one of my all time favorite books is 'The Year of Magical Thinking', a memoir by a writer of the year after her husband's unexpected death. Anyone who has experienced loss can connect with this great author. Really, a book worth reading. So sorry for your loss. (past and recent). Hope you are doing well

I'm so sorry for your loss. I love the picture you included with this post. So much love there!
I love you babe, and I love your family. I miss your dad a lot and think about him all the time. He is one of the people I want to emulate and I hope I'm as good a person one day as he is.
ah ok, I was already crying, but Sean's note made me cry harder! I don't even know you that well, but feel I do through what you write on your blog, facebook the few times we have talked etc. and I can tell what an amazing woman you are! You have so many qualities I long to have. If your dad is anything like you (and I'm sure he is!) then the world is missing an amazing friend, brother, father, and husband, but I'm sure the Heavens are rejoicing to have him home and helping in such an important cause. Even though I don't know you well, I truly wish I could take the pain away and my heart breaks for you and your family. Hopefully Oct will come quickly ;)
