It's been 4 years since my dad passed away.
Every May 2nd my family takes time to remember a great husband, father and grandfather.. Vern Yee.
Oh.. it was awful.
I'm tearing up thinking about it all again. I always do.
Having someone SO close to you, especially a parent, pass away right in front of your eyes makes you think of the many things, past, present and future.
Things that he has missed.. things I miss about him.. remembering all the fond memories of being raised by him.
This post is just a reminder to cherish all the moments you have with family and people you care about. You just never know when they'll be taken away from you.
May 2nd is a day of remembrance for me and my family. My dad. He was loved and is missed dearly.
Here is something Norm wrote after my dad passed away. He is such a magician with his words. It touched me so much, I'll never forget it.
I always re-post it every anniversary on fb or whatever. This year, I have my blog to post it on too. Thank-you Norm for such a beautiful note.
May 2nd
Started with the end of a wonderful life.
Then devastation.
Realization.
And raw emotion.
Sadness.
And discovered strength.
May 2nd.
The end of a wonderful life.
The evolution of a family.
Damaged.
Never destroyed.

Always remembered and never forgotten! He was so lucky to have such a great family, but his family was even luckier to have him :) We'll always miss him!
