Bittersweet Memories

Tomorrow marks the 8 week anniversary of my dad's death...and yesterday I found out that I'm being promoted...so this week is somewhat bittersweet for me. My dad was fiercely proud of what I do for a living and would have been so thrilled that I got this promotion. He would have told everyone he came in contact with about it. So, when I found out that I got it he was the first person I wanted to tell. Instead, I told my mom....it wasn't really the same. She was happy and proud and she cried...but she wasn't my dad. It's not a bad thing - it's just not how he would have reacted. And it makes me miss him more than I already do. I miss my dad....I miss him sooooo much!
