Well for me it is sad to think that a week from Friday will be May 4, 07 and two years since my dad left us. Even though I have not conciously thought of this it just is coming. It seems even sadder for me than the first year anniversary. I think after the first year it was still disbelief but now it has sunk in and he isn't coming back, our lives keep moving and he keeps missing so many things. I never wanted to lose him and I don't care if that sounds silly I didn't. I want him back. So somehow this getting easier stuff people mention is not correct; it is WRONG. So as the seasons change again we mark this event in our family. Yesterday we had to put our 15 year old dog Lucky to sleep. It was much harder than I could have ever imagined. I think it must be the season. I cried and cried and then cried some more and I keep saying "for pitty sake he is only your dog." He was our friend though and my dad would love to throw him cookies when he visited. So when I told my mom last night on the phone she said "I bet your dad is filling him up with cookies right now." I hope that is true.
Our youngest daughter will celebrate her "Sweet 16" May 5th. I can hardly imagine how time just flies.
As the season's change I hope you all find your lives in good places. Please continue to pray for all the children, young adults and adults who are suffering from cancer. It seems we lose many a day from this horrible disease. I pray one day there is a cure!

Sue...
haven't checked your blog lately. I've missed you! Summer is here and schedules are odd, it's nice to have a place to check in!
I read about your Relay for Life memorial for your dad and cried, too. I know you miss him, now more than ever, and especially during the spring, when everything is blooming and the world is warming and your heart aches.
Will you be at any of the Relay for Life festivities? I didn't get a luminary for Dave this year...didn't even hear about it at all, guess I'm doing some kind of warm-weather hibernation. We have baseball out of town both days, but we might be able to get down to the track for a bit.
Many hugs and much love to you, my friend with the giving heart.
Love, Shell
