One month ago today …

Mom just reminded me that one month ago today was when Dad passed away. It still doesn’t seem like reality. His sickness didn’t either. I guess this is something you never get used to.

I remember a year ago when Jeff and I left for the hospital at like 6 in the morning, we told Dad and Mom to just hang tight until we called them. I figured there was no use for them to come down, especially if we had a long time to wait. What I didn’t realize is that they got up and ready as soon as we left and drove down to a gas station by the interstate, just waiting for our call.

They were so excited about this baby. They waited for hours and hours and hours to see this little miracle. She brought all of us much joy and happiness.
