This is always a hard week emotionally. Four years ago today, at around 840PM, mom passed into eternity. Nine years ago tomorrow at approximately 10:45AM, dad passed into eternity and changed the trajectory of our family forever. Dad’s death was such a sudden and shocking event, while mom’s was a slower and more painful loss to watch happen. Both of the folks were 69 when they passed. It’s hard to put into words how deeply I still hurt for the loss of each of them. Here are a few pictures of happier days.
