I have so much more to say about my dad, so maybe there will be a Part II to this story. I looove what you said, CMH, about realizing later that everyone thought your parents were the cool ones...lol! That made me smile. I guess there was a reason our house was the hang out spot. It's also nice knowing that other people have such fond memories of my dad. He was a great guy. I love ALL of you and thanks again for reading and commenting.

Our lives will never be the same without him here, but the truth is, since you knew him, and loved him, he will always be a part of you. His memory will never die because we keep the past alive by the memories we keep.

I miss him so much. I find my self wondering what he would think about things all the time. Wishing he had been around long enough to know Mal as a boy instead of a baby, and knowing how proud he would have been of both of them. Wishing he had gotten to go to soccer, basketball, and school programs. Wishing we could just hang out and sit around talking. Never really goes away.CMHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09087821704958805535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142641886866606480.post-31496338471273774992011-01-11T21:13:14.747-05:002011-01-11T21:13:14.747-05:00This blog def. made me want to go hug my daddy and...This blog def. made me want to go hug my daddy and never let go...I loved ur dad and I have such fond memories of him...What a wonderful man that he was...I know he looks down on u and ur family and smiles :-}Stacynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142641886866606480.post-74156453296671785862011-01-11T18:20:48.570-05:002011-01-11T18:20:48.570-05:00Oh Candice, what a beautiful tribute to your Dad. ...Oh Candice, what a beautiful tribute to your Dad. I remember getting your calls as his condition worsened and aching so badly because I could only stand by and watch your heart break. I remember keeping I & M that weekend so that you could all be with Jack and every time I looked at their sweet smiling faces my heart broke a little more. I felt so guilty for playing with them and acting like nothing was wrong. Like their world wasn't about to break wide open when they went home to find out their beloved Gramps was gone. I remember a lot of those first days after he passed and how badly I wanted to pick up your heart and piece it back together. I still wish for that when Jack crosses my mind.<br /><br />But I also remember the good days that filled the years before the world came tumbling down. I remember coming over to hang out and how your Dad was always there, with that quiet nature of his. How lucky you are to have a Dad that loved you so much, and how tragic that he was taken too soon. <br /><br />I hope you know that Jack lives on in all the hearts of those who knew him. It breaks my heart to know Theo will never personally know him, and I cannot imagine the ache your heart holds knowing that. But one of your most cherished memories of Theo's childhood (and baby unknown) will be the joy of sharing stories of Gramps with them. <br /><br />I love you<br />em.em.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02271570336317820751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142641886866606480.post-89474179633292269602011-01-11T15:57:34.994-05:002011-01-11T15:57:34.994-05:00Not a good blog entry to read at work when you don...Not a good blog entry to read at work when you don't want anyone to see you cry. Good thing I sit behind a semi-private wall. I can't imagine how hard this was for you to write. Your dad was a great person.
