Today would have been my father’s 85th birthday. I don’t know from first hand experience but I suspect that these milestones, birthdays, holidays, etc. will be difficult at first. He died a couple days before father’s day, that was a tough day for me.
So, I take a deep breath and think about all of the birthday’s that we were able to share. And, like any journey, you put one foot in front of the last and keep on walking.
