It's been 12 years today since I lost my Dad. I mourn still. Holidays are especially hard as he so enjoyed them. I should be at peace about his death but I am not.
I mourn many I've known who've passed away. I've never mourned my Grandfathers though, they are always with me, if not in name... in spirit.
Their echoes persist in this world in every moment I act as they would have. For me it is more than a metaphor, my own blood makes the veil thin when I need their support. I firmly believe that I chose my place among my peers before this life, and that they persist with me, and I with them, in life and death.
I have been thinking about him today - made his famous waffle recipe! Also was thinking how much he would enjoy eating my rhubarb strawberry pie I am about to make! He loved good food and good company! He is greatly missed and loved~ Hang in there Bucket! Remember all the good times we had with him!
He was definitely the life of any party and is missed by more people than can be counted. I thank the heavens that he left some namesakes in whom we can find some solace in this earthly sphere.. And like him, we like our pie in round pieces, hot or cold. Please pass the fork and ice cream.

Way to rock that mustache by the way.
