Jumping off the plank, Lossing My Dad

Lossing My Dad

Today would be Dad’s 79th Birthday. A day of celebration yet it has brought back that knot in my stomach and the golf ball in my throat. Just another one of those firsts you must get through, that first year after someone you love passes. As on my birthday I think the biggest thing is realizing I will never hear is voice again. Those days when you know you would call him or hear from him have been the hardest.

I’d like to think he’s sitting on a lake, kicked back in a boat with his buddies and brothers fishing today. I’m sure the catch is FABULOUS and the day WONDERFUL.

Happy Birthday Dad.

I'm a "MOM" and it's one of the hardest most rewarding jobs I've ever had. I have a daughter Anna 16, sons Owen 14, and Evan 9. Something I've learned since that day they placed that precious little girl in my arms is that I am a different type of parent. By no means am I perfect. I'm human; however, there are lots of parents out there that believe they ARE and will judge you at every step of the way. I do things differently but, not "wrong".

My goal as a parent is to raise happy, responsible, productive children. I believe in tolerance and acceptance. I believe that beauty comes from the inside and we all have the right to our own beliefs and expressions of self. As long as your not hurting yourself or others or ramming your beliefs down my throat, we will get along.

If you attack my kids, be prepared for the mother bear to come at you.

I hope to share stories, tips, things I've learned and well anything else that comes to me.

Thank you,
Maureen
