What a beautiful post you wrote about you...Natalie-<br />What a beautiful post you wrote about your father! I lost my dad a few months after my first child was born, but I too take great joy out of seeing my dad's spirit in my kids personalities! <br />Allison ZeigUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14340384283504559243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298939183167432529.post-5660278920032736512011-02-27T10:20:22.896-06:002011-02-27T10:20:22.896-06:00Holly Ann, Thank you so much for you kind comment....Holly Ann, Thank you so much for you kind comment. I am so sorry your mom endured the loss of her father at such a young age. The pain of losing a parent at a time in life where you are trying to find out exactly who you are and what your life is going to look like is quite earth shaking. But every life event defines us and shapes us. I can understand the wish to have known your grandfather too. Thinking of you and your family!Natalie Lovinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177728027490488507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298939183167432529.post-5014306660123102972011-02-27T10:13:41.681-06:002011-02-27T10:13:41.681-06:00Thank you so much, Allison!

And it was courageous of you to write this. <br />My mom lost her father when she was 23 and I know she felt very similarly. I wish I could have had the opportunity to meet my grandfather. <br />Wishing you peace,<br />HollyHolly Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13616777037036202935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298939183167432529.post-38574786268934772432011-02-26T21:00:46.266-06:002011-02-26T21:00:46.266-06:00Natalie, I remember that day 17 years ago and how ...Natalie, I remember that day 17 years ago and how terribly sad I was for you.
