A Special Post

For the last little bit every Sunday is a day off so to speak for me on the blog. I have just posted a photo of a church with no text. Today though is my father’s birthday. He would have been 81 today. It is the first birthday of his that he is not with us so I thought that I would post something special. I made this photo from outside of his lake house the day after he passed. I had actually just written the post that I posted shortly after his death talking about his death and what he meant to me. I needed a moment to myself after writing that so I walked outside and saw the awesome colors in the sky. I decided that instead of being sad that I would make something that he would have liked.

A Weird World

Things have been just a bit weirder since his passing. I never realized how many times that I would send him a photo or ask him a silly question until he passed. I would get those urges to do those things, but of course I can’t send him anything now. I guess I still can, but it just has to be in a different way now. For the first 48 years of my life my father was the person that would pick me up when I fell down. He was always my biggest supporter. Ever since the end of October it has felt weird to post on here. He is the reason why this went on for so long. It was a way for us to communicate every day. He probably would not have liked me to talk about him in this way. Every day though I do something that reminds me of him and I kind of laugh. We really do live on in those that we leave behind.
