Happy Veteran’s Day

I haven’t written a lot about my dad since he passed. I always thought I would. It has proven too hard. Some milestones make me sadder than others. Today is one of those.

This is our second Veteran’s day without him. I think the first I was still trying to sort everything out. This one…well it’s been difficult even to think about for weeks leading up to it.

I always called him today. He’d thank me for remembering (like I would forget) and tell me about the celebratory events of the day. My dad was career military, and even after he retired, let’s just say you don’t ever really leave the Air Force.

I’m from a military family: uncles, cousins, my niece and my youngest brother all served.

To all of our military veterans, thank you for everything. Enjoy your day!
