Dear Dad

Miss you like crazy.  You left the physical world about 10 years ago. 

Some things I wanted to share with you, although I know you are watching down on us and with us too.

I'm keeping it light, just like you were.  I enjoy the little things, small and large sometimes talk with "nobody's a stranger" and deeper talks with friends and family.  I love laughing and find the humorous side to most things.

Some things I want to share with you:
  • We bought a house in Oxnard.  We love it!!  It's a mile from the beach, and yes, outside the tsunami zone. 
  • Brie and Cammie have graduated from college. (Brie is on to very sciency stuff/ Biology/ Forensics and Cammie is getting her Master's to be a math teacher. Brie's getting her Master's too.
  • Alyssa is in the Coast Guard!  She's up in Seattle.
  • Zoie is going to CSU San Marcos to study Criminology
  • Malzeee and Alyssa have gone skydiving!!
  • Bill and I have now been married 19 years in August...and yes, you saw it first.  You said...uh, I think you like him...something like that....you have a decision to make :)
  • Bill is now a GS-13.  You know all about that government stuff. He got a position right after retirement in 2009.
  • My sis in law Mary passed away. (Miss her like crazy, we do)
  • We have 3 cats.  Yes, you heard me right.  But two of them are Bill's fault
  • Johnathan is driving now...high school
  • Sophie plays basketball, soccer, polo and also playes the trombone!!
  • I'm working for/ with Seniors now and love it.  I've always been drawn to kids and senior kids.
  • There's a few new babies in the family.
  • This is most of the good stuff.  We are all mostly healthy
I miss our daily talks.  I miss you.  I drive by the last place I "double hugged" you...in front of the Oxnard Train Station from time to time.  When I do, I say, I love ya, dad!!
