“I see quite clearly that all good things must come to an end. The summer has been splendid, but it has lasted long enough. This morning I welcomed the chill in the air and viewed the falling leaves with cheerfulness.” ~ A.A.Milne
He left this mortal coil one year ago today. It was a similar day to this: beautiful weather filled with family. I spent my afternoon with Uncle Tony, one of Dad’s best friends, reminiscing about home and family. I talked to my sister from another mister, Jodi Stacy, which made my heart feel good. Then I had a nice supper with Mom, and we talked about how much we miss him. Not a day goes by for either of us that he’s not front and center in our minds. I doubt it ever will, and I’m okay with that. There’s not a single bad memory. Despite his being gone from the room, I still feel like the luckiest woman in the world to have him as my dad. Every girl should be so lucky.
