Today is my dad's birthday. He would have been 71 years old today. It is hard sometimes for me to comprehend that I can't pick up the phone and just call him and say hi or that I will never hear him say again, "I love you, tell Abby, Maddie and Destiny that I love them and tell Bud hi," his standard end to every phone call.
I know though that he wouldn't want me to be sad. He always lived in the day and in the moment- content right where he was. So, today I won't be sad. I am going on his youngest granddaughter's Kindergarten field trip to the zoo which he would have enjoyed immensely. I will spend the afternoon with the girls and go get ice cream (which he loved!) and I will remember him and smile.

Kathleen, You rock!!! Hang in there and just keep enjoying those beautiful girls of yours. What better way to honor your dad than to be the kind of parent to them that he was to you?
