I wonder if, someday, a December will go by without me stopping to mark
the 20th. If I'll pass over this day without stopping for milk and
cookies, or having a drink with friends, and sitting for awhile to think
about my dad.
This year, as I mark my fourth without him, I am happy to have friends in my life who got to know him, even if only a little. I'm happy to have had 31.5 years with him. And I'm really happy he was my dad, because he was a pretty awesome guy.
When is it time for a planned break?
