| Missing my father is hard this time of year. |
|
It is almost the Christmas season!! I am so excited, because this is one of my favorite times of the year. Ever since I was a little girl, and watched the Home Alone movie, I have always wanted to go to New York for Chrismas. Although I have never been there I am planning on going in March. Anyways, I had just started listening to Christmas carols the other day, and the songs and lyrics remind me so much of my father. I sometimes can't stand to listen to them. People keep saying that you have to hold on to the good memories, but right now that makes it 1000 times harder since it has only been about 3 weeks, and I try not to think about it all, and I am sure though when time makes things better I will be able to do it. Remebering the good times now though, just makes me miss him so much more. My father looked like Santa Claus. Although he was bald, and had lost a lot of weight in the past year, He had the white beard, and that smile, and loved to be with children. I remember going shopping with him, when we had nothing else to do. We loved blaring Chrismas music from the car radio, as people looked at us in traffic. Yep this was my father, he was such an amazing person, who had gracefully touched everyone whom he encountered. I miss him dearly.
