Yes, Father's Day came and went and now this week is the 6th year of dad's passing. I've written something that I will post at the end of this - was in tears yesterday afternoon and the words just kept haunting my mind until I wrote them down. I'll be posting on the 21st of August on facebook and tag my siblings - we all will feel the very same way - Glen isn't a facebooker so can't tag him. Not sure but maybe I have "three" followers on this site? Anyway, wrote it for all of us as we all know it by heart - heard it all the time!!! Always got a little chuckle out of it, and I guess now, I can still smile and laugh inside. Not the same on the outside, 'cuz I miss him and mom a lot - but I can hear him tell me, "Janet, that's a good one!" Often times he would actually print out some of my poems and read to his Sam's Group at church. I never did tell him just how special that made me feel - guess I should have, huh? Dad was a writer too - so between him and Aunt Mildred who I didn't really get to know, maybe it comes naturally to me. I do know this, I feel like at times there is nothing more that I can do but write the words down. Sometimes I wonder, "Who in the world will go through these thousands of writings I have?" Hmmmm, maybe one of my kids someday - who knows?
Life is busy and I'm loving it!!! Larissa moved to Philadelphia - actually to St. David's and is the Coordinator of Student Activities/RD and is loving it! Our road trip from Texas to Pennsylvania was a lifetime of memories to treasure! We laughed, we ate, we slept, we took photos, we cried - perfect in every way! Litney got her first teaching job in Renton and is in the process now of getting her classroom organized and ready for 31 5th grade students - that will be a challenge for a first year teacher but I know she'll do great! I miss she and Danny living in Spokane and popping in on us - hmmmm, don't think they'll ever live on this side of the state again:( !!! Logan is in the middle of harvest driving combine - he's doing great but exhausted after two weeks - anyone should be! And he's still dating his girlfriend - at least she helps motivate him so I like that! This is Jim's slower time at the office with the farmers but my photography is in full swing! I've had shoots about 5 or 6 times a week - without breaks for like 10 days - BUT, I'm doing what I love!!! Again, both dad and mom would have been thrilled for me. Funny how even when you're with a "spouse" and as old as I am that you still love thinking that your parents would be proud?!
OK - so I'm going to try my best not to let this much time pass in my writing - here's my words for Dad - remember dad, I love you so much and miss you!!!
Blessings to my Dad!!! Blessings to all:)!
