Today is my father's birthday. He would of been 72, had he lived.
I regret that he never got to know my children.

About Me
- Janiece
- I am a Hot Chick living in Parker, CO with my fabulous family. We're currently without a dog since we lost our beloved Boogie the Giant Schnauzer. I'm a U.S. Navy vet, and I currently work as a Principal Systems Engineer in the Military Industrial Complex, specializing in VoIP and Next Generation 9-1-1 technologies. I care about science, the U.S. Constitution and the military. I'm a tax and spend liberal in a largely red county, but I try not to be stabby about it. I travel A LOT, I aspire to run faster than I do, and I donate knitted cold weather gear to various charities. Stupidity, cupidity and wanton assholery piss me off, and I'm more than a little soft when it comes to dogs and those who serve others. I blog about whatever I feel like. I use foul language, so if that sort of thing offends you, feel free to fuck off now - if I'm unwilling to clean up my language for my fabulous Great Auntie Margie, I'm unlikely to do so for you. Newcomers are welcome here, especially those who disagree with me, but trolling and spamming will be met with the Shovel of Doom™.

Ya, me too
My thoughts, Janiece, are with you.
I often think similar things, I wish my grandfather could have met my own son, and could have seen my wood shop (he was a master woodworker himself) and the things I do there. I think he would have been proud.
Thanks, Jim. It's been over 16 years since his death, but it still bites me in the ass occasionally.
Like today.
I'm so sorry, Janiece - it is hard on days like today.
It is entirely possible that on some plane, at some level, he does know them, and is proud. We can't know. ::shrugs::
I hope your heart's ache eases a little.
My thoughts are with you, too.
