The day of his birthday, I always stressed a little. I wanted everything right: dinner, card, dessert, and family around the table. I grilled steaks, and we ate like kings.
Later that night, I put the sealed envelope into my drawer, next to five unopened birthday and Father’s Day cards.
I really miss my dad.

What a touching post. You certainly must have had a special relationship with him.
ReplyDeleteLove this, it's such a good write - but oh the sadness...
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to remember him. I miss my dad too. Birthdays are the hardest.
ReplyDeleteIt is so touching that you continue to celebrate your dad's birthday and even get cards. I commend you for that. Even though it is hard for you, it is very meaningful.
