Happy New Year...

This holiday...both Christmas and New Year's finds me parentless...a tragic orphan...I think I am used to it now...it has been a few months...I have not changed profoundly...I have tried to appreciate every day as much as I can.   The last time I waved good bye to my dad...I felt sure in my heart that I would see him again.  He smiled and waved and then within a few weeks...he died.  He always told me that I was his first love...he was a proud tough smart man... he loved his home and his family and  he would do anything for his children...he loved Christmas and big fat bushy Christmas trees.   He loved ham and kielbasi...he loved sweet things...cookies and cakes and pies and ice cream...I know he will be in my heart forever...Happy New Year To My Dad!!!
