A received a phone call Sunday that one of my oldest friends found her dad dead in his home that morning. I grew up with her and our families were pretty close. I can't imagine finding your dad in such a way...especially when you're only 26 and he only 55.
Today was the memorial. He had been cremated. I was a nice service and my family and I were able to say a few words about some of our memories. My heart goes out to her. We don't always keep in touch, but when we get together it's like no time has been lost. She'll be okay of course - "time heals all wounds" though something like this will always be with her. She is her father's daughter so she's a tough cookie and I sincerely hope that she remembers that and that it brings her a measure of comfort.

Daddy's begun to lose his hair, so he shaved his head. Luckily you can't tell now. He actually looks pretty good with a "skin head." =o)

Work has been fine...nothing particularly exciting going on there. And home has been running like normal. We're making slow but smooth progress on the house renovations. I'm hoping that I can post some pictures sometime soon.

You oughta see Megan's Buddha belly! She's getting so big! And I don't mean "big" in an all-over kind of way. She's all tummy at 25 weeks 4 days. Very cute. I'm actually a little jealous. Okay, more than a little. ;o) She began showing so early and gets bigger every week. When that day finally comes for me (hopefully sooner rather than later) I hope I can be as lucky to show like that. I know a lot of women can be sensitive about "getting so big" but I swear, I think it's beautiful and a badge of honor. She's very lucky.
