Thoughts about Dad

 

I mentioned earlier that my dad died in June.  I was asked to send thoughts to be shared at his funeral.  This is what I sent:

My parents were divorced when I was very young, so for most of my life, I have not lived in the same state as Dad.  Even so, he always made intentional efforts to stay connected.  I remember writing letters and going on trips with him as a child and visits together all through my life.  He came to my graduations, walked me down the aisle at our wedding, and celebrated milestones in our children's lives. I remain grateful for his love and already miss him.
