Happy Birthday Pops!

84. That's how old Dad would have been. Wow, it doesn't seem like he's been gone so long. We sure do miss him. I have a great memory of dad today. Football season is coming and while I was in TN, dad and I would talk almost every week to talk about some of the games. Dad wasn't really into football much but he started to a little bit there for a while. I'd like to think it was so we had an excuse to call every Sunday night. Of course when there was no football we'd always fall back on baseball news. Regardless of what it was, it seemed like we would almost always make it a point to talk in Sunday nights.

Every Day Is Memorial Day

I just wanted to say that I think of dad everyday. There isn't a day I don't think about him especially when I look at Emma. I didn't forget that Dad grew up in an era when Patriotism was a way of life. Dad, Uncle Ray, Uncle Lalo and Uncle Bernard are heros in my eyes. I couldn't imagine doing what they did. So here's to them and all who served to protect our freedom.

8 Years Missing You!

Hi Pops... I just wanted to say hi and say that I miss you! Emma loves listening to your CD when she's at your house now. She points to you when we play it. She calls you Papa and I talk about you to her so she'll know growing up that she has a wonderful Papa waiting for her in heaven. Dori feels as if she knows you already too. I sure wish you were here still. My girls are wonderful and they don't know what they're missing with you gone.

I Love You!

Thinking of Dad

We went to La Paloma a couple of weeks ago and sometimes there is a guy there playing his guitar with his drum machine and I could barely hold back my tears. I just missed Dad so much right then. I just put my head down and pushed my food around.

Anyhow, I love listening to that CD Joel gave us of some of his recordings! I think I'll go listen to it right now...and tomorrow I'll upload one to this site!

Miss you Dad.

Happy Birthday!

Just wanted to drop by and say Happy Birthday to Dad. It's so hard to believe that almost 8 years have past since Dad passed away. I can still remember those last days very vividly. I remember him calling all of us his little "Chickys" and that we were supposed to take care of mom and love each other. Some days I miss Dad a lot, I mean a lot. I miss him everyday but there are those days that I almost pick up the phone to call him to tell him what Emma did or what he thought about a certain ball game or to tell on mom (just kidding).

Anyway, today Dad would have been 83 years old. His life was cut short for me. I didn't get to spend as much time with him as the other kids did but I wouldn't trade those times with any one.

I LOVE YOU POPS!!! I MISS YOU VERY MUCH STILL!!!
