a little sad

I'm just in a blah mood. Perhaps it's still my hormones getting back in "whack" or maybe it's just winter blues, but either way I'm just blah!
Tonight, watching the Voice, there was a back story about one of the singers whos dad is dying of pancreatic cancer. Although it has been 11 yrs since my dad died, I still get a little teary seeing stories like that. It makes me sad that my girls will not know their pa-paw like they should. Or that my hubby never got to meet him. I sometimes wonder what he would look like now. (he died at age 49...he would be 60 already! WOW)



this is my dad and my niece, Lexi, October 2000. My dad died exactly 1 month after this picture.


this is me and my dad when I was in grade school just being silly!




And although I get a little misty eyed at the thought of all my dad is missing, I am so thankful for all that I have right now. Someone told me today as I was out running around by myself with both girls that I 'had my hands full'. I thought that although it was a little tough, I would rather have my hands full than my arms empty!
