Gramps on his 90th birthday


Dad, 
Your Father turned 90 years old a little over a week ago. It still was very difficult and strange that you were not there. I have learned, and it has been reinforced this week with a young girl dying, no child should ever die before their parents. It's just not right or fair. I wish it wasn't allowed to even happen. I'm so happy, even after a tiring weekend, Ted, Elle and I were able to give Grampa a birthday hug over the 4th of July. I only wish you would have lived to see your 90th birthday. Mom too. What would you and Mom be like in your 90's? All I will ever know or remember is you being young, fun, happy, social and flexible. I will never experience the aging parents. We miss you every minute. I miss having a Dad......so much.
