I have not said much, but..this week past was a rather difficult one for me. It has been 5 years since my father died. He died on July 2, 2004, in a fatal car accident. His car exploded on impact when his truck went over a guard-rail and crashed below the embankment. It is generally believed that he had a diabetic attack and passed out. It was said, by other drivers at the scene, that he was observed swerving to miss cars in an attempt to prevent anyone from getting hurt. That was very much like him.
I miss him.
Two people I miss dearly. My dad, and Joann, my step-mother. She died of lung cancer. She Died June 3, 1995.
I know how these anniversaries can affect a person. I had one of those this past week, too. It was 30 years ago this past Tuesday that my dad passed away. I was 23 yrs old and he was 62. I feel like we were cheated out of a lot of years together, and I will always miss him.
Hold your memories close. They’re good to have.
I am so sorry. It is incredibly hard to lose the ones we love. XXX
