Ugh

I've been dreading doing this layout for a while.




Journaling:

"Dad wore hats all the time. For as long as I can remember he always had one. They were such a defining part of him. The only time he didn't have one was in church. It was apparent that they were a comfort item for him. He was himself when he had it. His collection was in the hundreds at one point. Dad died of cancer in August 2005. His "USA" hat hung above his bed at the hospice. He called it his "almost favorite" hat. I miss him desperately, but I find comfort in the hats that are now scattered around my home. In a way, he's here too."
