Don is gone

I'm home in Ft. Myers, but it doesn't feel like home...someone is missing...2 someones, actually. David will join us on Wednesday, for my mom's 60th birthday, but Don won't be with us any longer. He passed away last Wednesday, April 2 (the day after my Dad's birthday). They are both greatly missed by our family. Everyone is here tonight...my Mom, Jay, Mick, Pam, Katie, Elizabeth, Michael, Ashley & Daniel...we're all missing Pa, but we're thankful for the time we had with him and that he didn't suffer. It just would have been nice to see him one last time. I'm thankful for the pictures and the way he loved my kids and they loved him. Daniel enjoys pointing to him in pictures and saying, "Pa!" I'm sad that he won't remember him...but he will live on in our hearts. I'll post some pics of Don later...when I get home to Colorado. Home... seems like a weird concept right now.
