Twenty-three years ago this month my Dad died. I can't believe it's been that long. It's seems like a lifetime ago. It's hard to believe. Obviously this time of year is full of special memories for me. I feel bad that each year it's seems like some of them fade away. This week I was able to bring back some of those memories when I attended my Aunt Michele's memorial service. My Dad's "baby" sister passed away on January 24. She was 63. The same age as my Mom. Wow, the older I get the younger that seems. Sadly, I guess I've reached that age where losing loved ones will become more frequent. I'm painfully aware that our mortality is fleeting. Although, knowing that doesn't make it easier. However, it does make me more grateful and appreciate each day I have with my own family. I've been blessed far beyond what I deserve but it does make me continuely try to be worthy of what I have.
I love and miss you both.
