My Dad's birthday

Another year has rolled around, and today is my dad's birthday.  In some regards, it is my least favorite day of the year.  As much as I miss him, and anyone who has ever lost a parent knows how much that is, I can't even imagine the thought and feelings of my grandmother on this date.  I don't care that he was 59 years old when he passed away. no one should EVER have to outlive their child.  Don't get me wrong, I am very grateful that Grandma is still with us today, but I hate that she had to experience that lost.

Other than the memories, today is pretty much like any other day.  I am working, and will head to my church job and other errands after school.  Robert has practice after school, and tonight Thomas has youth group.  I am the parent volunteer, and this is all how it should be.  Life goes on after a loss, and Dad would love hearing all about it.
