Flashback Friday

One year today.

It's still hard for me to believe. How long will I say that?

After a year, I don't cry in libraries, or grocery stores anymore. Mostly at home, with a thought, or memory, or Christian pointing to a family picture and saying "PopPop!" Or when posting on my blog and realizing how infrequently I type the name 'PopPop' anymore.

After a year, last-year-at-this-time memories have faded; happy memories have moved in.

After a year, it's still hard. It's still overwhelming. It's still sad.

After a year, I cannot watch this clip without crying.

A year has passed, and I still have a deep longing to see my Dad again.

Wow- very sweet, and I'm sure bittersweet video. Brings tears to my eyes as well knowing how hard that must be for you. Thinking of and praying for you during this season.

i'm crying with you. and missing him and Papa. it doesn't always seem real...

Don't you just wish we could stay in that happy childhood phase when everyone was here and we didn't worry about much of anything?

[ReNee]

It's a beautiful video. I am so glad you have the memories and pictures that you have. It's been a tough year.

What a sweet testimony your dad had. We're lifting each of your family members up in prayer. Wish I could give you a hug.
