sixteen years.

on march 3, 1996
my father passed away. 
it's weird to think that its been sixteen years without him. 
my sister was 5, & i was 3. 
we were young and he left too soon. 

i carry those few faint memories of him with me everyday and think of all the "what ifs" and how things would be today if he was still here. throughout the years, adriane and i have listened to amazing stories and memories from others. i know he was good husband, father and man. he's missed a lot of moments, but i know that he is there with us and supporting us in all of our adventures. 

he's been there every time i've laughed
he's been there every time i've cried
he watched me whine and complain as a teenager.
he was at all my dance rehearsals, competitions and shows.
he was there at my high school graduation and my first day of college. 
he has been there for adriane even when she was feeling low and having a hard time. 
he's blessed our lives in so many ways. 
he will help us make all of our decisions. 
he'll approve of the man i choose to spend forever with. 
he will be there when i get married. 
he'll share experiences with his grandchildren. 
and so much more. 
he was and will continue to be there in spirit. 
we love & miss him terribly. 
& when we see him again, i know he will be proud of all we had become.
