My sister

Cindy.

She did it.

My sister made me cry a bit with her about our dad having coffee.

I catch myself randomly overcome with grief. It's amazing how small reminders can trigger that.

For my sister it was as simple as shopping for coffee down the grocery aisle and she posted it to her Facebook page.

Sighs.

Dad, I miss you. I just think of all the things you did for us. I think of the effort you pulled to take us to Disneyland, Great America, Sea World and zoos. I think we take it for granted then, but we take it for granted that you pulled about 800.00 per month for a family of five. Some dads have the luxury of doing it, but you didn't. You scraped every nickel to pull of some childhood memories for us all.

We miss you.
