Missing You

There are so many things to update on right now.   The successful first birthday of my beautiful baby boy.  My husbands new job and the fact that he will actually be in the state of Maryland this week.  The fact that I managed to put my blackberry through the washing machine and bang my car into the side of a wall all in the same short week.  However...right now I don't want to talk about any of that and none of it seems to matter.  Right now, the only thing that is on my mind is that I miss my dad.  So much.

Today it has been five years since my dad passed away.  Not only was he the funnest, kindest, most loyal, and most memorable person most people have ever met, he was truly an absolutley amazing father.  I feel insanely blessed that I grew up with a man who loved me so much worked so hard to give me, my mom, and my sisters anything we ever wanted.  He loved me with ever fiber in his body and I will never forget that. 

It hurts my heart that my son will never get to know how wonderful and amazing his grandfather was.  My dad would have been the absolute best grandfather imaginable.  There is no way I will ever be able to explain to Brody how cool and fun and awesome his grandpa "Big Joe" was, but I am sure as hell going to try...
