It's coming on Christmas...
they're cutting down trees...
I love Joni Mitchell's song the River.
Her voice reminds me of you dad.
I don't know if it's the era she sang in or the words, but it's so calm.
so soothing.
I used to love it when you would sing to us each night.
After doing our prayers and before you gave us each a kiss.
This song means more to me this Christmas than it has in past years.
I'm missing you, for starters.
And life,
well.
It's in a bit of turmoil.
Last Christmas we didn't have you for the first time.
This Christmas someone else will also be missing the festivities.
You were a devoted father, husband and friend.
May we all remember and learn before our lives take a hard right.
Love you dad,
Missing you,
your daughter.

I can't imagine how hard this time must be for you. What a sweet letter. Your Dad was obviously a special person and so are you for dedicating this blog to him.
