April 26 - My Dad's Birthday

Today would have been my father's 80th birthday. He's been gone for nine years now but I still miss him so much. I'm thinking of you today Dad. I remember happy times together and the funny stories you would tell. I remember how you brushed my hair every night as we sat and watched tv together. I remember you quietly sneaking into my room to check on me when I was sick. You always made me feel safe. loved and special. As far as I'm concerned, I had the best Dad ever. I love you very much!

Volunteering

I spent some time over the weekend helping with a clean up day at one of our local YWCA Child Development Centers. It only took two hours of my time and I got so much in return. I met some great people, helped organize a resource room, and had a lot of fun. Volunteering is one of my top priorities this year. I want to give not only my money but my time to causes and organizations that I believe in.
