This afternoon, my brother in Arizona texted me. Wanted to know if I was home. I said yes and he called. I had a feeling this would not be good. It wasn’t . Our father passed away this afternoon. It was completely unexpected. My dad served his country in the Marine Corps. He fought in Viet Nam. He volunteered at our church, he was a scout leader. He was an amazing man. You will be missed dad. Semper Fi!

The suddenness of it all. We never feel our time is finished with those we love, so the time is never right….but this was just so sudden. Take care of yourself. Keep writing. It truly does help the healing process. Just look at Colandra’s slice today.
