This blog is mostly about all the joy in my life but I would be remiss in not mentioning something very important that is missing in my life right now.
It has to do with Fantasy Football. Sounds shallow doesn't it? But last year my Dad won the Hardin Valley Fantasy Football league. That in itself isn't such an accomplishment (had teams that didn't even set a lineup) BUT it was the last time that he will get to play with us.
It's only been 4 months since he passed and I find that every day something pops up that remind me of him. While he was in my life, I didn't appreciate his presence and now that he is gone, I wish I had just one more minute with him.
So as I take the HVFF trophy to have his name engraved, it's bitter sweet. I know that he was so happy to win and it is still something that I can share with him. But on the other hand, he's not physically here.
People who haven't lost someone close to them can't grasp how important it is to TELL people you care. So hold your family and friends tight and never leave room for doubt.
So in memory of my Dad, I have added the song, "I Still Miss YOu." It is exactly how I feel right now (especially the second verse) and I feel close to him when I listen to it.
CONGRATULATIONS PAPPY's PUPS! I still miss you.

Becky I stumbled onto your blog today by accident looking at TTTS mom blogs. Although I think it was not by mistake. I know you miss your dad and I know you are still sad and know that is OK. Everyone wants the sad phase of our lives to hurry up and pass. People are so uncomfortable with sad although they do not think we still have joy as well. We do. Know I am here if you ever want to talk about him. I would love to hear about your memories!!! I love you!!!
