Wow. My dad (pop, as I called him) passed in January and from then until July 4th my family and I went through a series of firsts (birthdays, Valentine's Day, Memorial Day Weekend) that spun us out of control. We never expected the "little holidays" to even be under the "firsts" category. But my dad was a big one for gathering us together for steaks on the barbecue, etc. We're a small family, and dad was a major part of it. I am just so thankful that there are no more holidays until September. I was very close to my pop, even more so at his death, and his passing has been devastating. As time passes since the actual date of his death, I seem to cry less often but when I do, the pain is incredibly deep and intense. Lately I've been confused about life and its direction. How I loved him so.

Keep your head up, your heart strong and your body fueled, as the loss of anyone loved will wear you down, especially that first year. No one can take away your memories, your pop will live in them forever. Tell his story, be his voice - keep his memory alive. I lost my dad to open heart surgery and my mom to drunk driver. I can appreciate your sentiments. Peace~
