Well, another week has slipped by... I know that because the Hawks are on the verge of playing their 2nd game since my last post (Beat those Bears!).
They eeked out a victory over the Cowboys - my team since childhood. While it's nice to see the home team trudging right along, it's also bittersweet to see my 'boys having to call it a season!
Anyway... in case anyone is wondering, Trish, Dina & I each made it through our Anniversary day. Rough as it was, and it most definitely had its' moments, we got through it all.
We went to 'El Toro's' for dinner; enjoyed great conversation & fellowship; fought with Trish over who'd pay (Dad would've never done that)... she won! Then stuffed & carrying leftovers to enjoy another day, we all headed home!
At dinner, I kept finding myself watching & waiting. Wondering when's Dad going to get here? What's he doing that sooo important to be late for his anniversary dinner?
Then it would hit me... you know, the ton of bricks feeling. He's not coming! It doesn't seem to get any easier! Days pass, some without much happening... but it still doesn't get easier!
Have I mentioned lately how much I miss him? Happy Anniversary Dad... and Dina & Trish, too!
I Love You!
Johnny
