22 Years

It's now been 22 years since the day my father passed away. I've reprinted my memories of the day twice before in this space, so I'll just give you the link if you're interested. My sister Carol wrote something nice about Dad on Facebook this morning, and I'll quote it here:

22 years is a long time... But every day you've been gone I have thought of you, and of course missed you. What I choose to remember most is your laugh and mischievous ways... that's what gets me through 22 years. Love you Dad, saw some sky blue pink, so I know you're looking out for us yet...

Carol is right about that -- Dad did have some mischievous ways. He was a very funny man and he was an optimist. The second trait matters a lot.
