It looked a little different this year.
And it is the quote by Walt Whitman, read by my daughter, at my dad’s eulogy, that stopped me.
We were together, I forget the rest.
Earlier, I felt like I wanted to share every waking memory I had of him. A deep breath reminded me of the purpose driven life he lived and the impact he had on those who surrounded him. His true greatness was simply the way he walked through this road called life.
Yes, the Changing Seasons in never more evident than is is today.
And yes..we were together….

Been wondering how you’re doing Donna. He would be happy to know he will always be with you because he is in your heart and that of your daughter too. And right there, THAT is what family is all about. At my dad’s funeral one of his employees came up to me, introduced herself and said “your dad really loved all of his children, but you were his favorite” . I’ve remembered that moment now for almost 30 years. She may have said it to all 5 of us but I think not as I was the only daughter. Yes fathers love their sons but there is nothing like the bond between father and daughter. Know how much he loved you. Wonderful photo and loved the quote. Thinking of you.

Thank you. I think I needed this short little post to help me move along. It’s been hard to gather my thoughts, so I thought… I just need to do it. Thank you for this, Tina. I was close with my dad, and am so grateful my kids knew him too.
Each day feels better. And I love the holidays… thank you again.
