missing you

August, 1990

You would have been 76 years old today.  

There have been so many times during the past 19 years when
I have felt you watch over me and smile from that peaceful place where your spirit roams.  

There have been so many times when I have wanted you to continue to see the loving life Josh and I have created together.

There have been so many times when I have wanted you to kiss your beautiful grand daughter and know the abundance of joy she has brought to my life. 

There have been so many times when
 I've missed hearing your encouraging words.

There have been so many times when
 I've missed you being the first to call and wish me "happy birthday".

There have been so many times when 
I think how grateful I am to have grown up knowing what unconditional love is.  

There have been so many times when 
you've told me, "You can be and do anything you want to."

There have been so many times when
 I've  known how very proud of me you are … 

Dad, I love you and miss you so much!
Love, Eydie

    Dear Eydie,

    This is such a sweet, full of love tribute to your Dad. I felt every word of it.

    You were so very blessed to have grown up with the gift of unconditional love.

    You are such a beautiful woman...I can imagine your sweet Dad overflows with pride.

    Thank you for sharing your heart.

    With love,

    Julia
