Memories

October 19th will be exactly 2 1/2 years since my dad passed away.

I was looking through some family pictures for an upcoming blog post and when I stumbled across one of my dad, the pain of missing him basically caught me by surprise.

Grief kind of comes and goes. 

Some days you're fine.

Other days the pain is almost unbearable.

Yet, you keep plugging on.

So today I'm sharing a few memories...

Memories of happy times...



Memories of his laughter and his zeal for life...



Memories of precious times that can never be replaced...

And so I will look at these pictures

I'll smile.

I might even cry a bit.

But I'll think back on these happy times.

And I'll be grateful for each and every one of these memories.
