A Year Ago Tomorrow

Thinking of my dad a year after he passed away

Hi y’all,

Last year at this time I said good bye to my dad when he was in hospice the night before I was leaving to fly back to California. We left early in the morning and later that night, I got a call that he passed away. I’m glad I got to spend the last week of his life visiting him, talking to him, praying with him, and letting him know I loved him and I was grateful that he was my dad.

So much has changed since then. I don’t always realize how many things are impacting my direction until I look back on a year and see how far I’ve traveled and how different some things look. My mom has been with us the last 9 months. They were married 63 yrs. He was really suffering at the end. He wasn’t able to talk and he was very sick. In some ways that made it easier for her to let him go.

My dad came to know the Lord before he passed. That gave me great comfort in my heart. I know he is with God and I will see him again. I’m glad my mom and I went to the cemetery to visit his grave site to say good-bye before we left Tucson when I picked her up to move with us to Texas. I’m glad she’s been here and we’ve had a chance to spend a lot of time talking.

I have a lot of great memories being with my dad. He taught me so many things. Some of my best characteristics came from him. I had never experienced the loss of someone close to me before my dad passed away. It really is a life changing experience. Tomorrow will be a lot like every other day except that I will commemorate the memory of my dad and talk about him a lot with my mom.

Until next time…If your parents are still alive, let them know you love them. It means a lot.

Best,

Laura
