Today would've been my dad's birthday. To be honest, this is the toughest day of the year without him. Christmas is still Christmas no matter what, but with Dad gone his day to celebrate is just hard to get through.
I've had a really busy weekend with some volunteer obligations and helping my mom with some things, and while I'm beyond exhausted, I'm grateful it doesn't leave me much time to think. We are definitely taking time to remember him though. Today we stopped for ice cream after shopping...my dad absolutely LOVED having ice cream around. In fact, his dad LOVED ice cream too and I think Dad got it from Grandpa. Dad always had ice cream up at his cottage, and he loved taking us out for cones when we were up there hanging out. We also are having fried chicken for dinner this evening since it was his favorite meal. The weather has been gorgeous today, and I know Dad sends his love down to us just as we send our love to him!
