I received sad news earlier...
the owner of my daughters dance studio Dad passed away...
Big Daddy as he was called by everyone...
was such a nice man...
a little grumpy on the outside...
but a Teddy Bear on the inside...
he was always there for the Dance performances...
even joined in on occasion...
my favorites were the Father Daughter dance he did...
on the 25th anniversary of the studio...
and the reading of the Grinch Stole Christmas...
at the Christmas performances...
Rest In Peace Big Daddy....
you will be missed....
we received news this weekend that a childhood friend
of Hubby Mom is not doing well..hospice is with her now...
She was an important part of Hubbies life in middle school...
and high school...since he lost his Mom when he was 9...
she was a woman figure in his life...
It is so hard seeing friends loose their parents...
really makes me appreciate that I still have both of mine...
I love you MOM....I love you DAD....
having Hotrod around sure helps...
seeing the newness of life and experiences...
the joy...the wonder of it all...
too bad we don't keep these traits with us all our life...
we tend to get jaded for a lot of our lives...
then when we get older....it tends to come back...
atleast for me it has...
I remind myself everyday... that each day is a blessing...
oh don't get me wrong...I still get caught up in the hustle...bustle..
of everyday craziness....but some little blonde haired boy...
brings me back...a smile...a hug...a What's that???
or Oma I love you....
now if that won't melt your heart I don't know what will...
