Daddy was the best at improv.\u00a0 “Baby Makes 5” became “Baby Makes Stinkpot” and now my daughter won’t have it read any other way.\u00a0 Dad would inject his own brand of humor into every book he read my sisters and I when we were growing up.\u00a0 Of course he continued the tradition with his grandkids.\u00a0 I miss that.\u00a0 I try.\u00a0 Truly I do.\u00a0 But he was the master.\u00a0 Although I’m sure my own kids will remember me the way I remember my dad, in my own head, I just can’t out funny dad.

I missed watch football with dad.\u00a0 Oh how he loved his Giants.\u00a0 The last few years, he used to fall asleep during second quarter, and wake up half way through the fourth.\u00a0 Now, everytime I fall asleep watching a game, I’m “watchin’ with my eyes closed” just like my dad.\u00a0 Oh how I would have loved to hear his shouting when Tyree caught that ball against his helmet.\u00a0 And again seconds later when Manning to Buress for the win.\u00a0 I can not even begin to express how important this Super Bowl win is to my family.\u00a0 Dad was legally blind, and never truly “saw” a game.\u00a0 He could follow the dots, and listen to the play callers, and often knew what was going on before they did.\u00a0 But, the first Super Bowl after his death…\u00a0 At his funeral, all mom could say was, at least now he can truly see, for the first time in his life.\u00a0 So the first Super Bowl he could truly see with those new eyes of his….\u00a0 and the New York Giants not only won, they beat the unbeatable! The ultimate Cinderella Story!\u00a0 I can not begin to express the feeling of joy and sorrow and bittersweet victory I feel every time I think of the game.<\/p>\n
Those are just two, of many many things about my dad that I miss.\u00a0 There’s plenty more, but I need to pack.\u00a0 We’re heading out to be with mom tonight.<\/p>\n
I can’t believe it’s been one year.\u00a0 How?\u00a0 How did we get through a whole year without hearing his voice?\u00a0 Without being able to call him for advice?\u00a0 Without feeling his arms wrap around me in a great big daddy bear hug?\u00a0 How?\u00a0 How has it been a whole year already?<\/p>\n

\nWhen we walk with the Lord
\nin the light of his word,
\nwhat a glory he sheds on our way!
\nWhile we do his good will,
\nhe abides with us still,
\nand with all who will trust and obey.<\/p>\n
\nTrust and obey, for there’s no other way
\nto be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.<\/p>\n
\nNot a shadow can rise,
\nnot a cloud in the skies,
\nbut his smile quickly drives it away;
\nnot a doubt nor a fear,
\nnot a sigh nor a tear,
\ncan abide while we trust and obey.<\/p>\n
\nNot a burden we bear,
\nnot a sorrow we share,
\nbut our toil he doth richly repay;
\nnot a grief or a loss,
\nnot a frown or a cross,
\nbut is blest if we trust and obey.<\/p>\n
\nBut we never can prove
\nthe delights of his love
\nuntil all on the altar we lay;
\nfor the favor he shows,
\nand the joy he bestows,
\nare for them who will trust and obey.
\n(Refrain<\/strong><\/em>)<\/p>\n
\nThen in fellowship sweet
\nwe will sit at his feet,
\nor we’ll walk by his side in the way;
\nwhat he says we will do,
\nwhere he sends we will go;
\nnever fear, only trust and obey.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
