Where are you when I need you?

Have you ever had this need to talk to somebody that you know you can't?  Today I have had this feeling all day.  I have needed to talk with my dad. The problem is there is no way to reach him. He passed away 3 years ago.  He had a short, yet long battle with cancer that ended suddenly.  By all doctor accounts he was getting better with no cancer left.

After thinking about him all day, I came across picture while looking for a picture of my son.  It was like finding a message from him.
 The picture was taken 2 months before he passed away.  This is the moment I have needed all day!

  4. Losing my parents was the hardest thing I have ever experienced. There are some days that I miss them with an overwhelming sadness. I'm so happy that you found "the moment" you needed!

  5. Jessica,
    You broke my heart with your slice. I can't imagine wanting to talk to my dad and not being able to. It's a side of losing someone I've never considered. Your slice is powerful with just a few words. And that picture? It's a treasure. Thanks for sharing it.
