Dad would be proud........


This is the anniversary of my dad's passing away and it is never an easy day for me. I miss him so much. I wish he could see my girls and how they are 4 years later.

He would be so proud of Melissa getting accepted into college. He always knew she would go and be successful in whatever career she chooses. I believe it too. He would love to be here at her high school graduation.

He would just love our life here.

He would love to see Jill with her kids. Man, how he would love Bella. He would be proud of Jill for her triumphs. He would approve of her boyfriend. He would be amazed at Ethan and his changes with his autism. Noah would make him laugh.

He would be proud of Mike and I in being the best parents and grandparents we know how to be.

He would be so proud of my brother Scott in how he watches out for his mom and little sister. Scott has tried to think WWBD? What would Bob do LOL Odds are it makes Scott stop in his thoughts and actions. Whatever happens next would make Dad proud.

God, I miss him.

 I wish God would let people in heaven see all the good things about the ones they love. To see the milestones. But I am so very thankful God knows what He is doing and people in heaven can not see down here. They wouldn't be able to see the good without feeling sorrow so God didn't make heaven that way. I do not know how to explain when I "feel" my dad's presence or maybe see him in a dream other then God is providing me comfort. I don't need an explanation really. I am just glad to feel it.

While today is not an easy day, it is a day of remembrance. Remember I will. Now and every day after today.
