Lost and Found

What do I say? We are now on the anniversary of our loss. The loss of my dad. My daddy. I always feel weird about writing that word..but he never wanted to be called anything else. It is hard to explain what the past year has been like for his girls. I was talking to a great friend recently and he said this "is my lost year". That is hard to agree with because I have had so many wonderful things happen to me this year. But when I think back...there are many things that I do want to forget....or more to the point--wished had never happened. But, it did and now we are left with memories of one of our greatest staples...steeples! One of the most important, pivotal and lovely things in my life is gone and never to return except for in stories and visions and pictures and songs....All of our worlds changed on that day almost one year ago. So many things have changed, but there is something that will never change and that is the love that I have for my sisters and my family and all of the things that he taught us. In the most enduring love, I have posted this for all of US who knew him:
