Another Father's Day...

I have often wondered what my life would have looked like if my dad had dwelled on earth longer.  I am sure it would have been different, but I wonder how so....  I have missed him so much over the last 47 years.  I was thinking about him this morning, and suddenly realized that he has been gone almost as long as his entire life lasted (he had just turned 50 when he suddenly died of an aneurysm.)  I am so sad for all he missed, and all we missed with him.

It is so easy to take your parents, at least the good ones, for granted when you have them.  They are just so present in your life - always there for you when you need them, even at my current age.  I can't fathom my life without my mom to turn to, because she has been my rock and my anchor for my entire life.
