Sixteen years ago today was what ended up being the last birthday my Dad had before his death. It was bittersweet, as so much had been....
I told him that his sister died on that day, which was hard; another sister had died only 5 months before, and Dad knew that his death was not far away. Also, Win was in Louisville, KY.
I told my Dad that I accepted a job in Connecticut. Following 5 months at home with him (having sold my house, quit my job, and getting a divorce in one week's time), I would be easing into a new life. He said he was glad to know that things were coming together for me; he said it was a great gift.
That day was difficult, but I remain grateful for it and so many others that I shared with my Dad, my DIM memories....
