Goodbye, Dad

Last Wednesday, February 10, 2010, my dad passed away very suddenly with no warning. I am not at a point where I am ready to write out all the details or start with the memories, it is too soon. His memorial service is this Saturday, I have to get through that first. I will share, I will post pictures and talk about my dad, but not now. I know everyone who reads this knows, I just had to "go there" for me, taking one step forward. Drew's birthday is tomorrow and I would like to do a little post for his special day, but I couldn't just jump right in without acknowledging the events that have transpired over the last week in our family first. So for now, I say goodbye to my Daddy. :(

I'll see you on Saturday. Elissa, your dad was so proud of you and the family you have. I know times weren't always the best but over the past 14 years I have loved watching your relationship with your parents bloom to the place it is now. You are a caring, Godly woman and any parents would be proud to call you their daughter. Your dad is smiling down on you from Heaven, proud to call himself your dad!! Love you!
