This holiday season will be the mark of 2 years from the time my father passed away. 2 years isn't that long, but when you are missing someone, it can seem like a lifetime. As each and every day passes, I miss him more and more. With this holiday season coming into full view, I am going to try to reminisce on the moments and memories I had with him rather than dwell on the fact that I can no longer make more. Although the 24th, Christmas Eve, is a hard day to remember... I am forever grateful for the night before he passed away and the precious moments that him and I were able to share. My dad is my hero, my best friend, my savior. I only hope that as he looks down from the stars above, he is happy and proud of the choices that I have made in this life. I can't wait for the day that I get to pass through the veil and meet him with open arms and a great big loving hug. I love you daddy, and I miss you. You are forever and always in my heart.
"Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy".
This link below is a song that I wrote for my dad when he was sick. If you open it in a new tab you can listen to it. My good friend James Pike is the one singing in most of it and at the end is when I come in.
