My Dad

Today is also the 22nd anniversary of my dad's death.
22 years.
That seems like a lifetime ago.
I loved my dad so much.
He was such a funny man.
The only person I know who loved "hee-haw" and "benny hill".
egad! those shows were awful!
But my dad would laugh and laugh when they were on.
and of course, I would sit on the couch and watch with him.
It was great.
I wish he could have met his grand-daughters.
He would really dig them!
I'm not sure if he would be proud of me or not.
I think he would.
But this past year has been pretty awful.
Maybe I've done things to disappoint him.
I hope not.
And if I have, I hope he can forgive me.
I certainly have thought some "not so pleasant thoughts" about mr wonderful.
Maybe he would understand.
I'm 42 and haven't had a dad for 22 years.
Geez, I was 20 when he died.
20.
Seems like a lifetime ago.

    Janet ....
    While I still have my Dad around, I do know the pain of losing someone. Every September 23rd I go through the same thing on the anniversary of my brother's death.

    And I wonder the same type of things!

    Stay strong and lean on your family and friends.

    Oh .... and I freakin' love your friend Donna's nickname for Bruce:
    Captain Prick!!!

    ROFLMAO

    talk to ya soon
