Six Months

Yesterday marked six months since Dad passed away. I can't believe how fast time has gone. I realize that every day lived from this point on, is one more day in my life without him and Mom. I still feel very close to them, I still call their cell phones from time to time just to hear their voices. Soon, the phones will be disconnected and that extra bit of comfort will be gone.

I have learned a lot about my parents since their passing. I have learned that the respect they had for each other was more immense than I could imagine. I have learned about how strong their love really was. They were amazing people.

On another note, I have learned that Mom never threw away anything. Ever. Not in a terrible hoarder type of way, but in a way that tells her history and the type of person she was. I have learned that Dad could have easily supplied 3 house building crews and 3 or 4 mechanics garages from his personal tool stash, if he could have remembered where the tools were.

I miss them both. I love them much. I will remember them always.
