holidays
Anyone else out there have a hard time missing their dad over the holidays? Wow, it was somehow extra difficult this year. Maybe because I'm so much hanging in limbo, a strange time for me between settled lives. I got out an old vhs tape that he put together of old super 8 movies from childhood. It was wonderful to see him moving again, but no sound only canned music. Oh, what I would give for a minute of his voice recorded. I'm going to make sure my kids have recordings of me talking that they can hang on to.
I so wish dad were here to see Obama elected & inaugurated- he would have been so jubilant.

Well, it's been 14 years since my Dad died, but I still had a little bit of melancholy when I started putting out the Christmas decorations. I opened one box and pulled out what I thought was MY WIFE's Christmas stocking, to hang, but it was my Dad's.
Funny thing about the voice recording of a Dad, at least in my case. He had a radio show for a short time and I actually do have a recording or two, but I have never played them. I'm almost certain that I'd break down into big racking sobs if I actually heard him and I'm still just not ready for that.
