Nine Years...

Its been so long...yet - I can't even begin to understand where the time went since my dad died.

Its been nine years.

Words can't explain how much I miss him or how deep the void is without him. Time certainly doesn't make it easier but somehow makes it more liveable.

Since he is burried up in the UP, we visit the memorial at Hydro more often. Every year, on the anniversary of his death, my mom gets a beautiful flower arrangement made - and we bring it there - they have a rock with a memorium on it...my dad loved nature so they also planted a maple tree there in his honor...it was only a few feet tall when they planted it, and as you can see it has grown so much.

This year, Scott and I went to drop off the arrangement with Owen. Oh how I wish he could meet his grandpa and that grandpa could meet him!!
