Dance with my Father

It has been almost 4 months since my Dad has passed away. I miss him dearly and can't believe he is gone. It is really hard not to call him...just to say Hi...just to tell him that I love him. Luther Vandross sings ...."Dance with my Father". It is a great song but it is hard to think that I will never dance with my Dad until I see him in heaven. God, I miss him!

When I am out for a run, I think of him waiting for me when I got home. I went to visit him and my brother in June 2005, for the Spurs and Pistons Final Game. I was getting ready for Ironman Western Australia and had to do a long run while I was there. I told him where I would be running and that I would call him if I needed anything. As I left the house...he was standing in the driveway...waving to me and telling me to be safe. About an hour and a half later...I came up the street to his house and there he was...standing in the driveway...waiting for me to come home.

I guess he will be waiting for me in the Driveway to Heaven and we will dance all night! I love you Daddy and miss you more than you will know!
