Today he would have been 66.

Published by User Image Kim at 7:23 pm under family

Today would have been my father’s 66th birthday. Almost four years ago he passed away from lung cancer and on this day I tend to spend a lot of time thinking about him. His birthday was always a special event at our house, and even when he was at his sickest, we still had a big celebration in honor of his big day. My dad was a big, big part of my life and on days like today, it really bother’s me that he is no longer with us. Everyday is difficult but, special days like today seemed just a little bit harder to get through.

So although he’s not with me anymore, I still needed to post this to let everyone know why today is a little difficult for me today. Happy Birthday Dad!

Kim I hope your day has been good in remembrance of your Dad. Mine died also of lung cancer in 1982. It was very very hard the first several years.

It’s really hard to let go someone’s memory, but I hope you feel much lighter now. Because, I know wherever your dad is maybe, he’ll be glad to see you happy and already moved on. He knows from afar what you’ve been going through, I think he doesn’t like to see you sad. I know he is proud of you.
