A year and a bit later

A good friend just reminded me that she still stops by here once in a while and that perhaps others did too. I'm afraid that made me feel a bit melancholy and that always brings this song to mind so I thought I would share it with you. Dallas only found this song a few weeks before he died which meant that it had to be included in his service. It was important to him and I think that the lyrics spoke to what he felt as he said goodbye to everyone he loved.

A year and a bit later I'm happy to report that our family is doing well. I've sold the house and moved into a smaller place in town that I know Dallas would like for me. I've started working again and I know he'd like that too. Building a life without him has been difficult, and at times it seems insurmountable but the boys and Heather and I are doing it. And he'd be so excited about the baby that Marcus and Heather are expecting. He wanted so much to be a Grandpa and I know that the special gleam he always had in his eye will be passed on to this and every other grandchild we are blessed with.

More later,
