The Best And The Rest 149

It’s cool I’m posting this today, the 13th death anniversary of my father.  13 years ago, 5 days after my birthday, my father died.  Oh wow, the questions I’d like to ask him now.  I wonder what he would have said had he been here the past 13 years.  So many things have happened, so many changes transpired.  Many times I find myself asking, “what would Daddy say?” whenever we’re in a tight spot.  Oh well, after 13 years, I’ve proven that there can be a moving on, but not necessarily a getting over.
