Today is bittersweet for me. It is Claire's big moment of graduating from Kindergarten and moving on to 1st grade so I was super excited and proud. It is also the one year anniversary of my Dad passing away. This poem sums up much of what I am feeling today and much of what I feel every single day. What I wouldn't give to have one more day to talk to him and give him one more hug.
I was unable to be up in Minnesota with my mom and siblings today, so through Skype we all did a balloon release at the same time. We wrote our own special messages on our balloon and then after saying a prayer, we all released them up to Heaven together. Although we are far apart in miles, we were all able to be together. I know Dad would have been proud of this moment.
I put together just a few of my favorite pictures that help to capture the amazing man my Dad was. He was the hardest working man I have ever met, the most caring person who would give the shirt off his back to help anyone, the most funny and lighthearted grandfather a child could ask for, and the most patient and loving Dad a girl could want. My Dad was and will forever be my Hero in this lifetime. I cannot wait to see him again in Heaven! I love you Daddy!
