The Passing of a Parent

[bingolingo]

Today is a sad day for me and my family. It used to be a happy day. We used to celebrate July 2nd because it was my dads birthday. But, not only was July 2nd his birthday but it was the day he died two years ago.

God gave him to us and took him away on the same date. He was just 56 years old. He was at home when he died. He was sitting in a chair watching television when he had a massive heart attack. They said it hit him so fast that he didn't have the chance to react. He didn't even have the chance to drop the remote control.

All day I have just been remembering the fun we had camping and how much he loved to play with my kids.

It is still hard to believe that he is gone. It has been two years and still it doesn't seem like it really happened. I imagine it is like that for a lot of people who have lost their parents.
