15 years ago

Today is the 15 th anniversary of my Dad’s death. He died of cancer when I was 15. Although I didn’t know him well, because he moved away after my parents were divorced, this day is still hard on me. It brings up a lot of old feelings and it makes me sad to think that he didn’t want to be a part of our lives. I saw him one last time when I was 15, in Oklahoma. He was pretty sick and it was an incredibly rough visit for me. I am soooo thankful for having those final 7 days with him because he died only a week later. I am also sad for my 2 little brothers and sister because they never had the chance to meet him. Ashleigh has no memories of him at all. She was only 5!

I have so much to blog about but I just haven’t been in the mood for it today! I will be here tomorrow with pictures from this weekend. There was some exciting stuff going on here!
