Just reflecting today on my Daddy. It was one year ago this morning we awoke to find him peacefully sleeping in heaven. It's been a hard year but also such a fast year that it still does not seem real to me. Mother has good and bad days and I have this sudden saddness at times too. My life is not the same and it never will be. I wish I just hug him right now but I know I can't and there is no way to describe that feeling. I haven't been keeping up with this blog and maybe I will next year and maybe not too. I don't know right now. We're going home tomorrow for Christmas and I so missed scouring the book stores for a book on Thomas Jefferson that Daddy did not already have. We will have our Christmas dinner of Daddy's sliced Bar-B-Que's and carry on with traditions but it won't quite be the same. I am grateful for the 59 years he was in my life and shaped me and loved me. I've spent the last couple of days remembering good times and that's what I'll continue to do. So until we meet again Daddy I miss you and I Love you....Your Daughter Claiborne
