One Week.

My father passed away one week ago today. His full military honors were granted yesterday at the Missouri Veterans Cemetery in Higginsville, Mo. by a combined American Legion and Air Force honor guard. It was a fitting and heartbreaking goodbye. My dad was a good man and I miss him.

Many people have written to ask how I am doing. I’m fine; my heart hurts, but I will move forward- there is no other option. I’ve spent the last week with my family and even though it’s been a somber occasion there have been some good times. I’ll be able to take those memories home with me as well as the memories of our final goodbye.

Now I can turn my focus to my pregnant wife- we will have our new addition in a little more than a month (on the VERY outside) and I need to prepare. Dad’s illness took a great deal of my focus without my even knowing. It wasn’t until it was gone that I realized how much I really was worrying. Now I should be able to devote some of those freed brain cycles on helping C. prepare.
