So much for a comeback

Well.  Shoot.  A lot has happened since August 2012.

I thought I would make a comeback, I really did.  Life kind of got in the way though.

My dear, sweet Dad died on November 25th, 2012 at 4:40 p.m.

I've written about him plenty on this blog.  He was (and still is) a huge part of my life.  In the forty-two years I knew him, my life was better for it.  I miss him every single day.

I wish I had been better about keeping this blog while everything happened so quickly.  Now, I keep telling myself the exact order of events every so often so I myself won't forget.

He was a good, sweet man.  He fought and overcame many demons in his life but the evil of cancer was one that he couldn't beat.

When I think about him or talk about him, I just can't believe that he's no longer physically in this world.  The world is missing him and they don't even know it.

My family knows it though and I guess that's all that matters.

Our last great adventure together - a cruise to the Bahamas.  March 2012.

I miss him, too, Leslie. Knowing you had each other and he was always there for you. I feel for you and all you continue to go through, and though I know and you know that strength comes from trials, that strengthening process can sometimes be a real difficult thing. You are doing terrific. Keep on hanging on. Praying it will start to get easier for you. I am so grateful I got to meet your Dad and see just what a great person he is.

That's so fun that you got to go on a cruise with your dad and sis. Not sure my dad would ever be caught on a cruise ship! You have a wonderful dad and we can all see that! And you are a wonderful daughter to love him so much.
