The day after Thanksgiving we went to the cemetary where my dad is buried and put a little Christmas tree in his vase and decorated it with cute little ornaments. OK, now I'm crying - its still a bit of a shock to me that he's gone and I guess typing this just brings that shock back. I hope you enjoy the pictures - I hope the photos capture the tender moments that they are for us - we want to keep my dad alive for us and for the boys. His spirit IS very much alive. My mom is SUCH a strong woman. Well, since the pictures are still uploading I'll keep typing for a minute more. My dad was such a great man. The gentle spiritual giant. I miss him. And right now, a lot. I'm glad that we can go to the cemetary, its a beautiful peaceful place, they do such a great job with the landscaping and its just so beautiful and serene. I think its called Singing Hills, out in Dehesa. Ok, pics are up, and I want to post a few more.

That was a really beutiful post Melanie. Thank you for being so open about your feelings. My grandpa(who was my dad basically growing up) passed away a little after your dad. And I was friends with Rachel and Buck too. So it just brought back some memories. Thank you for keeping their memories alive. - OKay I have to go geta kleenex now.
