My dad passed away one year ago today. I wanted to express how much I miss him. We all miss him. I'm always thinking of different things and wanting to call and tell him about them. He was always interested in what was going on in my life. He was the one I went to for advise on so many things. Tomorrow is Match day for Pete, and I wish he were here to tell me how proud he is of us, and how wherever we end up is the best place ever. I wish he could hold Abby and tell me that I'm a good mom like he always did (even though it sometimes feels the opposite.) He was always so encouraging and positive. He would tell me, "Don't sweat the small stuff; and it's all small stuff" when I would get too overwhelmed. I love and miss my dad so much, but am so grateful for the memories, testimony, and example he left me with.

I don't know what to say except I am sorry for your loss. I have always heard such wonderful things about your dad and I am sure you miss him so much.
Just remember that your dad is still interested in all the things that are happening in your life. I'm sure that he is watching over you and cheering you on from the other side.
Of course, that doesn't change the fact that you miss him. It's okay to feel sad about it. It would be weird if you didn't. Brian still gets sad every year on the day that his dad died too.
Oh Heather, I didn't realize your dad had passed away. I'm sure this is a hard time for you. I know he's proud of you and your little family - you guys are the best!
I can't believe it has already been a year. I am so sorry you have to feel this pain. I KNOW that he is still watching over you and is a very big part of your life. I think her rejoices in the great things that are happening, and is sad when he sees you go through struggles. I don't know if you have read the book "The Message" by Lance Richardson. If not, it is amazing and brought me so much peace. Good luck with the match up. I can't wait to see where you are headed!
I loved your post Heather...what a sweet tribute to your Dad! Words seem to fail me when they are needed in moments like these...but I know that your Dad is still your biggest cheerleader and could not be prouder of all you and Pete have accomplished. I know it doesn't make it easier though, right? You're amazing!
Wow, I can't believe it's been a year...what a nice tribute to your dad. I loved the pictures you posted and the words you expressed. I know he is still watching over you and your family :)

Oh Heather I'm so sorry you have to go through all this pain. You told me you knew my mom was in a better place after she died. I think the same about your dad. He's happy and is always with you when you need him. He never stops watching over you and being a part of your life. Now it's just from the other side. My thoughts are with you. and you really shoudl read the book "the message" very good. Love you heather.
I feel so bad because I knew the year mark was coming up. A few weeks ago I was in the shower (wierd) and I thought to myself that it had to be coming up, but I couldn't remember the exact date. He sounds like the most amazing man, and he has an amazing daughter to prove that he was.
