Change
So since i started writing i have noticed that i don't feel the need to write everyday. Instead i am going to write when the urge strikes me. My biggest fear was forgetting the memories i had of dad, but now that i am paying attention to that fear i notice that strangest things in every day life remind me of a memory. Like the other day i was feeding the birds i saw the biggest blue jay i have ever seen in my life. This is something dad would have loved to hear about. He loved to talk about the birds, turkeys, deer and all the other wildlife he saw and took pictures of. I miss him every day but i feel closer to him as i am able to remember these small random things about him every day.

Hi Charity,
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed reading your memories. Very sweet they are.
I don't ever want to forget his laugh. The days when we would go over to the house and he would beat up the "decoration only" pillows make me think of this the most. The smile on his face and his laugh.... I am fearful i am going to forget this....
ReplyDeleteDon't worry girls, you will never forget these memories. I met your dad when I was 14 and I still remember him laughing and teasing me about "eating a whole chocolate eclaire!!" myself at my Junior High School prom. He was wearing black plastic glass frames and drove an olive green jeep (yeah, kinda geeky). And, I still remember how he laughed that day. You never forget what holds a loved one close to your heart.........
ReplyDeleteOh the days of the "decoration pillows"!! Who eats an entire eclaire in a dress??
