I could go on and on about who he was, and what he taught me but all I can do right now is reflect, wish he was here and try to keep moving ahead.

Not a day goes by..
that I'm not thankful that I have memories like this...
A year ago, I lost a HUGE part of who I am and it's never coming back. I lost my advisor, my crier. I lost my dad.
I could go on and on about who he was, and what he taught me but all I can do right now is reflect, wish he was here and try to keep moving ahead.

I'm sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteYou are right though. It's so wonderful to have memories. Especially when they're captured on film, and you can look back on memories that may not necessarily be as fresh in your mind as others.
I found a photo of myself with my grandparents, the other day, and, while I miss them daily, it was a great photo that brought a huge smile on my face.
What would we do without photos?!
DeleteYou're so lucky to have that kind of dad. Indescribable heartbreak to lose someone so special. The last picture of you two is so very sweet.
ReplyDeleteThanks, that last picture is priceless to me. He cried all day.
Deletethinking of you today girl! stay strong, but remember it's ok to cry! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks Lindsay! I've definitely done my fair share of crying today.
DeleteThinking about you love. Praying that each day you're a little stronger, the memories are a little happier, and your heart is a little lighter.
ReplyDeleteThanks Madeline. I so appreciate your support and friendship!
DeleteThinking of you xoxox
ReplyDeleteThanks Kierston!
DeleteOh my precious angel, I am so very sorry, this made me cry big elephant tears. I don't know too many things, but I do know this, he is still with you, comforting you and surrounds you with his unconditional love and protection. Listen for him, he is all around you, especially in those quiet moments. Sending you my deepest sympathy and huge tight bear hug. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa. It was a rough day. I found myself doing a lot of crying. Thank goodness for good friends and family.
DeleteSo sorry for your loss, it sounds like he was a really awesome Dad that left you behind with some really beautiful memories.
ReplyDeleteHe was human but he loved his kids more than anything. I was his number 1 girl.
DeleteSorry for your loss. But so glad that you can still live by those great memories of him!
ReplyDeleteThanks Annica!
DeleteThinking of you and your family Katie. It's hard for sure but you have some lovely memories. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine! I'm fortunate to have the time with him that I did.
DeleteKatie, your dad was a great guy. That smile and laugh and the jokes...you never knew what you were walking into when you walked into Thornton's and saw him standing there...My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you continue search for strength to move forward. Remember that it is OK to cry and grieve, or scream and kick and fight your way forward. Everyone's journey is different. Although he is gone in the physical, his lasting words of wisdom, jokes, work ethic, smiles, etc lives on through all of you..and even through those pictures. Thinking of you and yours.
ReplyDeleteThanks Amber. You saw him in his element at Thortons. :)
DeleteThose memories will live on forever and I'm certain he's looking over you, smiling at the woman you are! :) ((HUG))
