In Memory of Daddy
Wow my last post was in January, I can’t believe it has been that long, the only thing I have to say is that it has been extremely busy here. And I am talking physically and emotionally as well.
Dad’s birthday came and went this year and it was quite hard. Especially around their anniversary and my mother’s birthday, all rolled into Easter, we went up there at Easter and then again at Memorial day.
Memorial weekend was the One year marking point to the death of my father. May 26th 2014. The one year anniversary. IT was very hard for me. As I am still at odd places with my family. But seeing my dad and my grandfather and other ancestors was quite a unique day for us.
I loved my father so very much, much like my grandfather he hung my moon and stars. I could go to this man with anything and he would help me in any way he could. He never made you feel bad, because he knew that we already were beating ourselves up at night over letting him down.
He raised us to love each other, respect each other. He taught us honesty,, and integrity, and to be above all else honest to our selves. To do what made us happy. To Do what we could for ourselves so we were happy with ourselves.
I love him dearly and I still do and I never will stop loving my father.
He was a hero, He was a vietnam vetern who served on the Enterprise while serving the Navy. He was very proud to serve his country but unfortunatly got screwed near the end by the country and politics that he once faught to uphold. I really thought after all these years an all these wars they would be better treated in life and in death.
Dad, Iam sorry you missed Matthiew's 18th birthday, and his graduation, that you missed JOhn's Graduation too but we all felt you and we know you are always with us cheerin us on and smacking us in the back of the head when needed. I love you dad.
