Saturday!

Cora starts school on Monday. I can't believe I have a 1st grader. She'll be in the 1st/2nd grade combined class this year. From what I've heard, it's a good thing. I think it can only benefit her.

Tomorrow is the Tallman Family Picnic. I've been charged with photographing the day. Not that I wasn't going to anyway, but it was requested of me. Should be a fun day.

It's been a week and a half since dad died. It's still so hard to believe. His urn finally came yesterday, so Andrew will go to the funeral home next week to pick up his "cremains". What a funny word!

I've been having a lot of trouble falling asleep lately. Guess it's normal. I hope that when school starts and I'm forced to get up in the mornings I'll get my internal clock back on track. I'm SO not a morning person!

Anyway...summer is almost over. Flew by pretty fast, with everything going on. I'm very grateful of the time I had with my dad though.

I love you, dad.

My dad is gone

Dad died on August 17 at 11:30 PM. No matter how much you think you prepare for it, the moment you hear the news you totally lose it. I know I did. Going to the hospice and seeing him after they called me was really hard. I didn't think I would be able to do it, but somehow I had the strength.

He's not in pain now. He's with God. I'm comforted by that.
