One Year Later....

Hard to believe it's already been a year since Dad passed away! Can't say it's getting any easier. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him, and miss his talks & sense of humor! The family joined together tonight at the cemetery to enjoy family time together & have a little picnic, just like Dad would love us to do! (OK, some may find it odd to have a "picnic" at the cemetery; but, why not?! :}). Glenn made it extra special by putting out a few things  in his honor. I loved the Marine flag holder he found! And he found a box of memories, that Mom had given him on their 30th Anniversary. It was full of papers with different memories over the years. What a great gift, as the memories are what keep us going! We enjoyed Mom telling us these stories, some I hadn't heard before, or others that brought a big smile to my face. As hard as it is to always be reminded he's no longer here with us, how much we treasure our wonderful memories together!! 
Pops...I hope you're resting in peace, you worked hard for all this much needed rest you know!!!! :}
