I wish you the best in moving forward and know that someday you will again be back to center. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. <br /><br />Tim<br /><br />Timcphattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098496120165870110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20892133.post-31845582268067870572012-12-05T19:48:06.416-08:002012-12-05T19:48:06.416-08:00Your dad's around.

I lost my...That's a great quote from your Dad.<br /><br />I lost my mom a few years ago and it takes a while, but eventually you'll be able to settle into fond reflection on your times together. And you'll think of all the things you're inadvertently passing down to your kids from your parents and be at peace with the ways he is still here. Maybe not tomorrow, but you'll get there, bud.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18261591055552683053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20892133.post-49227021523515490182012-12-01T14:41:05.182-08:002012-12-01T14:41:05.182-08:00Amazingly honest post-- feel thin for as long you ...Amazingly honest post-- feel thin for as long you need to, John.

You might even feel his presence sometime when you are out. You will turn to look for him and he won't be there. But you feel a warmth wash over you. That is his spirit in you reminding you he will always be with you.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062965249678077645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20892133.post-80358591497677536212012-11-26T15:57:34.106-08:002012-11-26T15:57:34.106-08:00That was a very touching.
