It’s been more than two years now and I still have moments when I reach for the phone thinking, I need to call Dad. 

I know he’s not missing me. He’s not waiting for me. But when we see each other again . . . well. It’s going to be GOOD. Until then, I’ll hold onto the sweet memories, the good times, and the Daddy who was my first love.

My last photo with my father. My niece had just gotten her first library card in the library Dad helped build while he was a county commissioner.
