So I wanted to tell you that I am sorry for your losses, your kids losses too. I am glad you have a great new partner to share your life with though! That part is nice.Amy Chalmershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622362955890810774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594664432434967792.post-50957007831760052802011-04-13T02:08:00.461-04:002011-04-13T02:08:00.461-04:00Some days can feel a bit flat if you have just bee...Some days can feel a bit flat if you have just been trying to keep on top of the never ending task of housework. I'm not surprised you feel a little down considering your Dads anniversary. If the day passed by as just any other it would mean you weren't missing him. It's so good to talk to kids about special people even if they are not still around. My kids still call out loud and ask "Grandad Luddy" to get us a car space when we are out and about. None of them ever met him but the know of him through him being kept alive in our family. I'm sure he can do more that just navigate us to a free car space but I'm sure he gets a laugh out of being remembered as the years tick by. It sounds like you are doing the same with "Grandpop Rippy" !<br />Thinking of you.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16904240359698373279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594664432434967792.post-29479763337339046632011-04-11T23:22:07.343-04:002011-04-11T23:22:07.343-04:00Beautiful baby!

Teen things - well, I'm just not as graceful about them.<br /><br />What a wonderful heritage you have to pass to your children. I know how you feel, the sorrow that they are not there to share tangible moments. You are blessed to have had a dad who was there for you in many ways. I only experienced that through my grandfather who died when I was 11.<br /><br />Be blessed. Wishing you a week of blessing and joy:)(and less food in hair)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
