My boy all by himself.

Well TS Hanna blew in and blew right back out. We have had nor'ester that were rougher than that storm. The wind blew and it did rain but nothing bad. Our neighbor lost his tarp that was covering his driveway and a few people lost limbs off of trees.

My Babies birthday & Ashy's 1st day of 7th grade

today was my babies 26th birthday. I went to see her at work to wish her a wonderful day.

this is what a new 7th grader wears for her first day of school. She was wearing the beautiful shirt her Opa bought her before he left so she would look good on her first day of school. She is my little model.

This is a sunset I took in Va. Bch.

I am getting used to my hubby being gone and also my dad not being here. It is so hard for me to wrap myself around the fact that I no longer have parents. I always thought they would be very old when they died. My moms mom is 97 years old and in good health except for dementia. I love to go visit her even tho she does not know me she is still my grandma. The saddest thing about my dad is that his heart had finally started to get stronger and what kills him some kind of weird fast moving lung cancer. My dad was someone I thought would live forever.

He has left me Again

Us together before he got on the plane to leave. I will miss him but he will be home in 10 Mondays as the girls say.

Well our visit was good but way to short. I miss him already but I know that he will be home soon for a 3 week visit. So that is what I am looking forward to. Love ya Honey and stay safe.

My Dads Funeral at Arlington National Cemetery

The pictures above and below are of my dads service.

Me telling my dad I was sorry. I did not want to leave him. I told him I loved him and he was the best dad in the world.

Well the day finally came when I knew my dad was really gone. His funeral at Arlington was very nice. The Va. Bch. Police Honor Guard was there and that made me very happy and I am sure dad was glad that they were there. They escorted me & Barb to our seats and then back to our cars. I did not get my dads flag even although I am his oldest surviving child but for some reason Paul got it. That was the only thing I could not control and Dad did not want Paul to have it. Oh well I really do not care as it will not bring my dad back and all the memories I have can never be taken away or replaced.

My Family

My dads death has been very hard on me especially since I also lost my mom less than 2 years ago. I miss them both very much but I really miss our family unit. I now know our family will never be fixed and for that I am sad but for me it is the best thing. I can not have a relationship with either of my siblings.
