Valentine's Day - Missing My Papa Bear

February 14, 2013

Valentine's Day was really hard this year, because it was the first year in 35 years that I knew I would come home to no card from my Daddy.  He was always so thoughtful and always sent cards for everything..... Valentine's Day was one that I loved.  I have a card framed that my Dad gave me last year and I look at it every day.  It's next to a photo of him on my night table.

I never imagined my world without him.  Especially never imagined he would not be around to meet his first grandchild, hold her for the first time, carry her on his shoulders.  I daydream about what it would have been like and how she would have been the apple of his eye...just like I was with my Grampa.  He was a gentle giant!  He would have been our baby girl's life size teddy bear.  I'm still not comprehending all of it...I feel cheated.  It wasn't his time to go and feel bad for him that he will miss all of these amazing moments.  Hopefully he is looking down on us because I wouldn't want him to miss one minute.

I still find myself going to send him a text or a photo of my growing belly.  He would have been over the moon!

Leave it to Jeff to make my lousy day better.  I came home to the most beautiful card from him....I will save it forever and three dozen roses.  One dozen for his PRINCESS and two dozen for his QUEEN! :)
