2 weeks...

tomorrow will mark 2 weeks
until the 20 year Anniversary of your death...

20 Years!

You have been dead longer than you were alive.
I don't think you ever saw a CD,
as there were still tapes when you were alive.
I went to high school, college, was a teacher for 6 years,
got married, had 3 babies, and you weren't here for any of that.

It doesn't seem that you've been gone that long.

Yet, it does.

Sometimes I can't remember what your voice sounded like....
I have a hard time remembering the warmth of your hug...
I forget your favorite food, color, or season.

But I do remember the cute little freckles on your lips.
I remember how you could dance and had funky rhythm!
You were such a great artist, like mom,
and you had such beautiful handwriting!
You always made us laugh!! Always!

20 years... that's a long time to miss someone!

Mom and I are planning something special for the 14th!
Wish you could be there:)
