Spring


It has been 6 months since Bob died. It is hard to believe. It doesn't feel like it has been 6 months. Skye likes to talk about all the fun things she did with her daddy. Like playing tag, yes he would chase her in his wheelchair and she loved it. Or he would bring her for wheelchair rides. Or he would make up stories to tell her about the two of them going for horserides in the enchanted forest and how he would save her from the bear. She would always say, Daddy saves the day!! Or playing my little ponies. That was always quite the site, to see Bob playing my little ponies with his daughter.
With spring being here, I miss Bob even more. Spring was our favorite time of year. When we would start working on our yard, making new plans for our yard, what we wanted to plant, we would check out how everything was doing. Make plans. That is what people do. And we would always get excited about the plans. So when I look at all the plants in our garden, or the trees we planted it makes me sad. But Spring is also a time for new beginnings.
