April 7th

11 Years have passed since we said goodbye to my daddy on April 7th. It is so hard to believe it’s been that long. The memories from those last few days are still so vivid in my mind and I am so grateful we were able to spend those last moments together. We miss him so much. We miss his sarcasm and laughter. We miss seeing him spoil his granddaughters. We miss his wisdom. Our lives changed forever on April 7th, 2015 and then again on April 7th, 2017. It breaks my heart that Zoe and my dad never got to meet. She talks about how unfair it is that she never got to meet him and it is so unfair. While it is so special that they share April 7th, it doesn’t make up for the pain of them not knowing each other. We are grateful to have a reason to celebrate on such a hard day. April 7th will always be filled with so many mixed emotions until we are all together again forever. Daddy, we miss you and love you so much! Zoe girl, your Grampie loved you even though he never met you. He’s waiting for you in Heaven to spoil you rotten.
