Ten years ago today my Dad passed away after a two year battle with cancer. I am amazed by how quickly the time has flown by. Seems like just yesterday. I was told often in those early days that it would get easier with time. I am still waiting for that to happen! Losing a parent never becomes easier, just different. I will never understand why God took my dad home when he did, but I have learned to be grateful that I had the privelage of having such a great man as my dad even for a short time. I think about my dad everyday, but today especially i celebrate the amazing man he was! He is an example to me of the kind of person I strive to be.
