tomorrow is 7 years

and its harder this year than i can remember it being in the past...

my dad passed very unexpectedly on August 6, 2003

its still so unreal sometimes. seven years? really? where the helll does the time go

i feel so sad this year, for all that he has missed, all the he has been cheated out of. in the past 2 years - 4 of his children were married and the birth of his first granddaughter and first grandson in the past 10 months.

i still get angry when i see men his age who obviously dont take care of themselves. why are they here and he isnt!? why do mean, awful people who get to live and enjoy life and walk the streets and he doesnt get to...

i never got to know my father as an adult and i never will - it just succks.


we miss you dad, moreso with each passing day! Jack and Sophie send lots of hugs and open mouthed, slobbery baby kisses!!

Re: tomorrow is 7 years

That completely just made me tear up...

I know that sometimes it isn't much solace, but I am sure that your Dad, while not here with you physically, is ALWAYS with you and your family...And he is watching Jack & Sophie and smiling down on them.

This will probably sounds very strange - but I remember when your sister posted that you had Jack - and that you had said that Forever Young was playing, and that was a special song for you. Everytime I hear that song now, I think of you and that post...

Somehow, those that we have loved and lost are still with us...

hugs for you karin! i know exactly how you feel unfortunately. getting married was bittersweet and i'm already worried about the day i have a baby and know my father isn't here to see him or her. i think about it all the time.

my mother and i say the same things about other people. not wishing harm on others, but why him? why us?

we just have to remember they are looking down on us and are proud of all we have accomplished. it doesn't always help, but it's the best we have!

Re: tomorrow is 7 years

Hi friend :) Just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you (and Val). Your dad has definitely missed a lot of wonderful things, and that is so crappy, but I hope you believe that he is seeing it all from heaven, and is so proud of all of you for all that you've accomplished!! (JJ and Sophia are QUITE the accomplishment!)

xoxoxo
