9th anniversary of Dad's Death

This morning I am supposed to be writing my dissertation.

I want to write this first.

Dad, thank you for taking me for a small coffee every afternoon I had a lacrosse game, in cold Colorado spring weather. It was like a reward for completing the game and a welcome bridge into heading home, having dinner, and doing homework.

You filled my life with these structured routines that made me so incredibly happy. Every day.

I pray for the things in our family that need healing and improvement in the next generation, and that I can be a parent who provides the kind of attention and simple pleasures of everyday life to my future children.

Love,
your daughter,
Jemmer
