Reading your story about your dad flooded my mind with memories. I always felt your dad was a soft-hearted, sensitive man. His words were loud and abrasive, but I could always feel they came from a place of immense love and concern for you. I always remember feeling safe sleeping over at your house because of all the security and lock-down systems in place. I bet you don't have many memories of conversations or words from my dad. Your dad was always around and sharing his thoughts or concerns. He for sure adored you.

Thanks for sharing your memories of him- you were one of his favorites (except for the Jeep!). How many times did he check your tire pressure?? LOL xoxo

Thanks for sharing about your dad. It’s interesting how we can understand them more now that we’re older. I often find myself telling my daughters, ‘you may not understand this now but someday when you’re older, you will’ 🌸 and I have to check out I’m not Dead !

It's so true- as our perspective broadens with experience, it becomes much easier to intuitively connect the dots. They will get it someday! And hope you enjoy the pod!

Writing it made me teary- I was feeling heavy all week, unsure whether I would even post it. I don't write about him often, but I realize that when I do I start to feel a little more connected to him and his memory. Thank you for reading it...xx
