74

Today is my dad's 74th birthday. I met my mom, Rebecca, and Russ downtown and we drove to the cemetery late this afternoon. The grave marker was just put in place and we hadn't seen it yet. It was nice that some of the family members were around, we missed Ryan and Rich but we felt my dads spirit. We miss him so much. I think I have expressed this before but I am sort of getting used to not having him around (although I think of him everyday) and everyone says it gets easier, but in lots of ways I don't want it to get or feel easier because then it is more time that he is not with us....I don't know if that makes sense and I am tired tonight so I don't know if my writing makes sense. I truly miss him so much but I know there have been many times he has been with me helping me, watching out for me and Cruz, and sending his love to me. After the cemetery we all went to Macy's soccer game and then out to dinner to celebrate my dad. We always want to remember his legacy! We love you dad!
