Treasuring Those Memories, When They Are All You Have Left

7 Dec

This is the first time I have been to my parents since Elijah met Jesus. This first time since we have needed to provide full time care for our father.  Now it is time to go.  Leaving is always hard.  I miss home. Yet I will miss here.  I have had so much fun with my dad.  I always have.  He has always, next to Jesus, been my hero.  My farmer ranks right up there too.  2 Men who are so vastly different.  Both have my heart.  I wish dad would come with me to Vermont.  But he won't.  And really, it's not ...

I might call him just for tradition sake.  But the memory thief stormed his doors awhile ago. How do you continue to be Thankful when the pain runs deep and the ache so strong. Elijah will never come home. No matter how I stare at the bed and picture him playing on his ipad. . .No matter how much I try to make him there. He's not. And never will be again.
