Thanks Pop!
I just wanted to jump on here to say thanks to my father. You see I was asked to play in a golf scramble this past weekend and I have not swung a club in about 5-6 years. I believe pop was right there with me helping me through day. I would like to think it was to give me encouragement but I know he just wanted to make sure that I treated his clubs well. My team didn't win but were able to post a score of 7 under. Thanks pop...love you and miss you.

Seems like time flies…
It has been a few months since my last post but I am going to try to get at least one in a week.
It is coming up on 5 months since pop passed and it still doesn't feel real. I was looking at some pictures today and just started smiling. Pop was such a laid back guy. Nothing ever seemed to bother him…except maybe when mom wanted him to do something during a UK game.
About a month ago I had all the feelings of sadness rush back. A co-worker lost his father to cancer. It really hit home but since I had been in his position, I was able to provide a little comfort.
Let’s see…what else…Ashton is playing football and Cassidy is cheering. Both are doing great and in the end going to cost me a ton of $$. See I decided to motivate them by offering them $$ for certain things. Ashton gets $5 for a touchdown, $2 per extra point, $1 for every 10 yards and $0.25 per tackle. He is up to $33 right now. Cassidy is a little harder so she gets $50 if she can get her back-tuck before competition. I got a video yesterday that basically means that I will be out another $50.
What can I say? If you don’t stop to look around it will all be over and you will want to know where the years went. I know most won’t stop to look around but we should try to at least slow down. Life is too short as it is. You need to tell/show the ones you care about that you love them. You cannot give too many hugs and nothing is more important that family.
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. Revelation 21:4
