We're finally doing things we did before. I know that doesn't make much sense. We went to the summer festival in our community, we hadn't done that for quite some time, we didn't go for two years in a row. We went this year. Our daughter said something that really resonated with me. She wants it back. She wants back the places and experiences we did together as a family, she wants to enjoy those again. It's almost like we're catching up with life, our life; a life of 2 no longer 3. We've made some new memories and stories we'll tell down the road. She's struggling with being happy and having a wonderful time and then missing you something fierce and feeling guilty about having fun. I was there myself not too long ago. It is getting easier to live each day and not just exist. I still miss you something terrible and just thinking about it makes me cry. The tears don't linger as they did, they still come easily.
This summer without you, the year I will catch up and surpass your age, the year I'll never be able to tease you because you'll never be older than me. I miss teasing you and being teased by you. You helped me not take life so seriously. I do my best to be silly with our daughter, she needs that. I really have taken time to enjoy life and moments with our daughter. To enjoy life in general. Truly seeing the beauty of nature, taking time with my Dad. I am so very grateful I am in a position where I can have a reduced work schedule. Even in death you're taking care of me. I spent some quality time with her this weekend. We were together, just the two of us enjoying each other and enjoying nature. It was fantastic. I went back to work today like I'd been on vacation for a week, I even forgot my password. I was only off for two days.
I love you handsome man.
take care,
