Dear Ol' Dad

As I sit here thinking about my dad on his remembrance day, I have a mix of emotions. Today marks 14 years of missing my first true love, my dad. Wow, 14 years can really pass you by. I think back to where I was in life back then and how far I've gotten in life 14 years later. It makes me think that he had to of had something to do with where I am today. I am blessed beyond belief!!


I can remember clear as day finding out the news. I was only 17 years old and my poor sisters had to share that devasting news with me. I was completely heart broken...how I wish he were still here. How I wish he could play with his granddaughters. How I wish we could see a Twins game together. How I wish I could call him up and talk about my day.

How I wish we could have ice cream together. That was always your favorite...so my girls and I are making an ice cream toast to you today, dad! xo, Cindy

    Love this post Cindy! Your dad would be so proud of you! I can't believe that it has been that long ago since he passed away. So glad that you and the girls were able to celebrate with an ice cream in his honor (and I have to add, what a cute little boy he was!)
