a weekend of celebrations

Aydan's 5th birthday. Jay & Jackie's wedding. Father's Day. A weekend filled with celebrations!

And please know, you were thought about during every one of them.

Of all the things I miss about you both, the biggest thing has to be your voices. I have been so tempted to watch my Bridal shower tape where Mom said a toast or watch the videos of Mom and Aydan or the old Christmas videos of our family growing up. I am not sure I could even handle the sound of your voices or seeing you alive in action on the video. Until then, I imagine your voices in my mind and your ever lasting laughter.

You're never far away from our minds and always close to our hearts. I pray you enjoyed this weekend with us too and were able to look down on us from time to time.

Feeling a sense of loneliness on this Father's Day.

It's amazing how you can be surrounded by so many but still feel like your standing alone. It's truly incredible the impact that parents have on their children's lives and the safety, warmth and love that they provide. No one else but parents can provide that true, unconditional love. There is nothing I could have ever done or said that would ever had made you both stop loving or supporting me.

So this weekend, we witnessed your Grandson who is growing so quickly before our eyes- turn 5 years old, my brother-n-law tie the knot in a beautiful intimate wedding and a visit to the cemetary to remember and honor your lives.

Love and missing you always,

Your daughter
