Year 5 -- A Letter to Dad
5 years Forever And yet? Just yesterday. Oh Dad, How can I miss you as much as I do? Still. Absent from here for five years. And yet? Still very present in all of our lives. We had to pull out our old memory box this week. Lance was wanting to wear Kevin's Varsity jacket on "dress like your parents day" at school. He's a senior, ya know. For real. Our baby is in his last year. I saw a picture in that box of you, m and me at my graduation. You looked young. Happy to have your arm around me. Proud of me. Your baby. The last of five. Your favorite. I know. I kid. And yet, I think we all felt that way, Dad. Remember the "tunnel tunnels"? Those forever tunnel going under the mountains on our way to Virginia? If I close my eyes I can still feel like I'm sitting on the hump in our front seat... ~The "car seat" of the 1970's~ And you are pretending to be scared as you drove us t
