Startled
Today, I saw someone who reminded me of Dad. I was at a wrestling meet of my youngest son and as I glanced over at one of the coaches in the corner I saw my Dad. The same white hair and high cheekbones. The same white hair I am getting and the same high cheekbones my oldest boy has. Those cheekbones only showed up so hollow and defined after Dad lost weight during his bout with his cancer. I was so startled I almost called out and said, "Dad!" What are you doing?" I caugth myself. The man really looked nothing like my Dad when you started staring. So strange that I hadn't done this for such a long time.
Dad has been gone 3 years and 6 months. Time passes so quickly.

Very odd that this update came today as the SAME THING happened to me yesterday. So surreal.
My dad has been gone 2 years. Please know that reading your blog while my own father was going through lung cancer brought a tremendous amount of comfort.
Hope you and your family have a great holiday. Have a big beer for me. xo
I lost my dad July 23rd of this year and today would've been his 78th birthday. I was trying to find a suggestion for decorating his grave today and found your blog. Thank you for putting your thoughts and feelings out there. I have some of the same ones myself. Especially today!!!
