Happy Birthday to my Dad

Today is my Dad's birthday. He would have turned 68 today, but we lost him back in June 2017 to brain cancer. It's days like today that I think back to my Dad and the wonderful memories there were with him that ranged from playing catch to discussing politics. This is the second holiday season without him. I feel I have a pretty good grasp on death in life. It's never a fun moment, but it is part of life, and death is something we must all face to help in the mourning process. But that doesn't mean we don't think back to our loved ones no longer with us and wish they were still here. My Dad's birthday and the day he died are always going to be those days.
