It was five years ago today that my father died very unexpectantly and I'm sad.
The day was so much like today, only warmer, and it was a Tuesday as well. A friend and I were at the beach and I got the phone call around 3:00 p.m. My DH had met my father for the 1st time the Saturday night previously so they never really got to know one another.
This morning I was really sad that my boys will never really know their Poppa. I would swear that they did get to meet along the way because sometimes they'll randomly be babbling and I'll hear them say Poppa and Sawyer is so much like my father sometimes it's scary.
Thanks for reading, I just needed to get it out.
Re: Sad - Father's fifth anniversary
Hugs to you hon! Big, big hugs.
And of course (I believe) their Poppa is coming to see them! How sweet.
Sometimes I think our children remind us how much we miss them. Just this weekend my (4.5 yrs older) brother said to me "Jillie looks a lot like you at that age" and I swear it was my dad saying it - it's not like my brother to say something like that.
Big Hugs to you!
It's the hardest thing in the world to deal with. I'm sure your dad has left a big impression on you and he is with you and your boys everyday.
