14 1/2 years ago I lost my Pa to Cancer. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about him. I miss him just like it was yesterday that he passed. In 1998 when we moved to Oregon, we stayed at the Best Western until out house was ready and during that time Steven would get ready for work and stop in at Rascals Mrk. to get a cup of coffee. He had told me about this nice Gal that worked there and with 3 small children, shopping was just not my thing! (even in a grocery store!) Well, I finally met this Gal because I became adicted to Pace Picante Corn Nuts! They use to order me a case of them until I started breaking my back teeth and then I decided to stop eating them. When we moved into our house, Our 6 year old got involed in Cub Scouts and we would go out and do his Cub Scout duties and that is when I met Dee's Husband Herb. I had become close friends with them, just in passing. We moved away for 2 yrs and moved back 2 yrs later. This is also the man I bought my truck from, and from the very first moment I met him, I told him; "you so resemble my Dad" flannel shirts, hankies in the back pocket and the sterness in his voice and then the softest heart you will ever meet! I love these people! To finish my story, my great friend Sharon shared with me that Herb's Birthday was on Staurday the 14th and I was in AWH. That is my Dad's Birthday I said. I told Sharon, I knew there was a reson God brought those wonderful people into my life. When ever I have questions that I wish I could ask my Dad I have always called on Herb and never really knew why. Since my Pa's passing on all Holiday's I send a balloon to Heaven with a written message to him and so today I sent my balloon to Heaven and delivered a bouquet of Balloons to Herb for his Birthday. My wish for all of you is that you will find someone in your life that brings joy to your life....just because!
