A flower in the snow

Yesterday was my 5-month wait date. It was also the 5-year anniversary of my Dad's passing.

Today would have been his 80th birthday. Eighty!! Wow, it's weird to think of my parents getting that old. My Mom is only 74 and has many years left in her, I hope. But that is the same age as Dad when he passed away.

I hung up a picture of my Dad in my office. I say Good Morning and Good Night to him every day. It makes me feel closer to him. Having him look at me from that picture makes me feel he really is watching me from upstairs. I feel his love for me and his support for my adoption. I just wish he was here to talk to about it and to enjoy becoming a Grandad again.

I didn't visit his memorial site yesterday but I will today. It is snowing like crazy this morning (after being warm & sunny the last few days) so I will be laying his flower on a bed of snow this year.
