Surprises

Yesterday was my Dads Birthday

I thought of him a lot. When I went to dinner. For desert there was Key lime pie… one of his favorites.

There’s a very cute story behind

The key lime pie.

So I decided to have a piece. I had a few bites. And decided to take the rest home for later.

I told the server I would like a box. She took it then brought it back to the table. She put it in the bag with the leftovers I had from dinner carried the bag outside put it in the car later came home brought the bag inside went to go and take out the Keylime pie but I was craving and it was gone wasn’t in the back for a minute I thought… it must have fell somehow in the car….. but No.

It wasn’t there. Now I know I saw the server put it in the bag.

I know it may seem crazy. But I truly believe my Dad. Finished the pie.

It was truly magical!

The Last day….

Tomorrow will be 11 years that my father passed away this day always hits me just as hard because this was the last day that I spent with him while he was still here.

I remember that day so clearly in my mind on most days when I would go down and see him in the hospital I would have my daughter who is little at the time and I would push her in the stroller and Blake or my mother would be there maybe my sister or even my brother but on this day it was just me and my dad we had such a good visit I was there for several hours and I remember turning to leave and when I got to the door something inside of me made me turn around I went back and shared a moment with my dad that I think about very often I am blessed to have had that moment with him it was almost like my instinct was sharing with me but I didn’t know at the time he wouldn’t be with me much longer I miss my dad every day for the past 11 years things that have been hard have seemed harder I often think during difficult times what my life would be like if my dad was still here I think everyone in my family feels the same way he was a devoted father husband grandfather son I’m so blessed to have had him in my life
