Remembering Dad, one year later

My Dad passed a year ago this past weekend on April 28, 2011. It's hard to imagine that it has been a year, and all that has happened since then. Last year was an awful year but I draw on the strength that Dad (purposefully or inadvertently) instilled in me. I find it hardest to know that Jack will never really know his Grandpa Jimmy when all that Grandpa Jimmy wanted was to know him. I remember vividly the days these were taken. And although I wish there were more of these days, I will be thankful for the ones that we did have together. Rest peacefully, Dad.
