...since daddy died, and still not a day goes by that I don't think of him and miss him. Sometimes it doesn't seem real, and part of that might be because I moved away not long after he passed, but it might be a bit of denial on my part as well.
I know I haven't kept in touch very well; I haven't had a lot of time to blog or email, or do much of anything but work. I guess that is what I do when I don't know what else to do...I work.
Most weeks I put in 55-60 hours, some a little more, a few a little less. I walk quite a bit, dote on my cat and of course enjoy the company of my friends and loved ones here in Idaho.
I still have my Montana phone number, but I did finally step up and get a local plate for my car (at the urging of a policeman who stopped me to tell me I was traveling a wee bit too fast).
I guess now I can truly say...

Working plus blogging would be very difficult for most. Carry on.
I'm glad to see you've popped in. I think of you often and always hope you're happy. Post when you want to. One year isn't much time when grieving.
i know the feeling...it still doesn't seem real to me either and dad died feb 13 2008. i think of him daily and just pretend his is around the farm only i just can't see him...glad to see that you posted!
Nevertheless, I am always glad to see you posting.
Hi Laurie - nice to see a post and see how you are doing. I think about my dad every day and he passed away in 1981; you never forget the ones you love. Try not to work too hard! Hope you read you again soon.
{{{HUGS}}} Laurie, nice to see you here. Today is three years for my Dad, and same thing, I think about him every day, sometimes with tears in my eyes, and work my butt off. Glad you do get some time to enjoy yourself.
but what a ho you is.

My mother has been dead for 30 years. I still have moments when I think she is not far away and I could pick up the phone and speak to her. I think of her every day and can hear the words of wisdom she repeated until I adopted them as part of who I am. In a real sense the best of her lives on with me. I hope the memory of your father is never lost and he continues to sustain who you are.
Lordy Laurie. I am such a shlub. I didn't know you were back.
And may I add . . I'm so glad.
One more comment. I call Lynne 'Sweet Lynne' - she's always been a true friend when I've been absent from blogging or reading others blogs - Lynne is always the first one and sometimes the only one with a kind word.
PS - The loss of a beloved parent is so heart-breaking. Anniversaries are tough. Very tough.
I know the pain is less over time, but even that fact - is painful.
Sending you a hug,
Cathy
