I started this blog on the 3 month anniversary of losing my father as a way capture all the little memories that come to me. It has taken me a week to bring myself to write this first post.
I miss him more than words can say and the permanence of his passing is hard to take at times. I moved across the country from my family more than 20 years ago, but always had the option to go back and visit, or make a call to let him know I was thinking of him. Now his memory is all that is left and this blog is my way of honoring him.
He used to say to me when I would fret over something or try to argue a point. "If a frog had wings, he wouldn't bump his butt every time he went to go somewhere. Now would he?" He was full of little quips and quotes like that. I know now that he often used humor to break the tension of a situation. I see that in myself more and more. Life is too short to get hung up on the little things.
