He was the best. My dad. This is the first time I've sat at the computer and thought about doing another blog. It has not been easy finding motivation for just about anything over the past month, and outside of Jen and Evan...not many things even bring a smile to my face right now. This blog was never meant to be a place for deep thoughts or feelings, and to be honest...I really can't even put into words how much I'll miss my father. He was the best man I'll ever meet in my life. A man I've tried hard to mirror in so many ways, through the things he taught me and the selfless ways he conducted himself on an everyday basis. Although it feels selfish now putting up blogs of Evan and trying to make it seem like everything is going along fine, I know how much joy Evan provided my dad and how much he enjoyed seeing pictures on this blog. Whenever we talked on the phone over the past several months, every conversation started with him asking the same thing, "How's the little guy?".
Although he and Evan only met one time...it was a meeting I'll never forget and I'll be thankful for my entire life. My dad was so excited to hold and feed Evan, and his face lit up when Evan fell asleep in his arms. That was a good day. A great day.
In honor of the best man I've ever known, I am going to attempt to continue this blog. The posts might not be as frequent, but they'll keep coming. Pictures and stories are how we remember those who have passed on and how I'll make sure Evan always knows how incredible his Bacca was and how much Bacca loved him.
