I had a big change in my life the night of my last post. One I didn't expect to happen for at least 20 years from now. My Dad suddenly passed away. We're still not sure of the cause of death but I'm thankful it was painless, quick, and he was with my Mom.
It's been a very difficult week and I'm sure things will get harder over the next year as I have my "firsts" without Dad. I'm thankful for the wonderful memories I have and that we were able to travel together just this last June. This photo is us at the Irish Times Pub in Victoria BC for Fathers Day just a few months ago. We had such a fun evening filled with laughs, good food, and great music.
I'm headed on my preplanned vacation to Maui where I'll take the time to myself to greive. Hawaii was one of my Dads favorite places to be and I know I'll feel close to him there. Last time I was there was with him and my Mom so I'll have fresh memories of him doing what he loved.

Sorry to hear of the passing of your Father. The memories of your Dad will forever be in your heart. You were lucky he was a great part of your life for this way you have no regrets like "I should have spent more time with him" etc. My prayers are with you. I hope you had a lovely time in Maui reminising about your Dad. Enjoy life because it's too short and your Dad would want you to be happy.
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom suddenly 2years ago. My daughter just moved to college. There always seems to be something that is an important occasion that I know my Mom would have been a part of. It doesn't hurt as much as it did, but she is still greatly missed. You and your family will be in my prayers.
