to the new year and it would have been my parent’s 38th anniversary today.
hard to believe my dad’s been gone 13 years.

i don’t forget dates…
i remember when both my gp’s passed
my dad obviously
my parent’s wedding anniversary
my mom and jim’s anniversary (3 days ago for 11 years)
birthdays
my friends passing
friends’ kids’ birthday
you name it, 99.9% of the time i remember it.

it’s not always about making sure the whole world knows you know
but what’s in your heart and the amazing memories you have with each individual

so, today i didn’t have much to say until i saw this
and thought my dad would want to celebrate another year gone by with all of our successes and even the trials
for i know he is proud and joyous of us
and yes, even the green bay packers and more so the pulaski red raider marching band!
(no joke – he loved them both – even had vince on his wall in his class room)

so here’s to a better 2012 – please! – i need a good one.
and a nice guy like mr. rodgers (without a sweater)

go pack go!
xoxo
