remembering

Hi all,
Many of you who have known me know that I get in my reflective moods from time to time and this is one of them. Today as I was listening to some vidios on youtube I came across Lenard Skinnard behind the music. I sat and watched and loved it. However, it began to make me think of my dad as they were one of his favorite bands. I know it's been almost 8 years since he passed away but sometimes little things just make me think of him. One verse in Free Bird in particular did tonight. If I leave here tomorrow would you still remember me? I can honestly answer that question with the statement that there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you dad. A lot has changed since you left. I finally did what I said I would. I grew up, and got married to a man who reminds me a great deal of you. We aren't having any kids, but you'd love your son in law to pieces. Sam is doing well as well and I still route for the Phillies as I did when you were around. I think back at that 21 year old kid when you left this earth and often times wonder what you would think of the decisions I made. would you be proud? How would you and Chris get along? I know these are questions I will never had answered, but I can often times imagine what it would be like to have you here. I know you are happy wherever you are. I hear a Harley thunder by on the street and often times will say "there's dad again". Time may have eased the pain a lot, but your memory will forever live on in my heart. I miss you every day, but know you are in a better place. So if you can do me a favor and fly fly free bird until we meet again. I love you dad.

Huge hugs to you. I know what it is like to have lost your dad. Just know that I am here for you. I remember how I felt when my dad left this world, it was one of the most horrible days of my life aside from losing my husband. Losing both was extremely hard. Again, huge hugs. love ya.
