Grateful for a fun night mixed in with all the holiday chaos! Felt good to laugh!!! And hug

Today, having an angel dad just isn’t enough.
Knowing that he’s been gone for an entire decade hit me with a wall of grief that I never imagined would come. A DECADDEEEEE — like how?! Howwww???!?!?

I know this business wouldn’t exist without losing him, and I know that I wouldn’t be who I am if I didn’t have to go through losing him. But in all of that, I wish I could know what life would be like if I had him. What would his hugs feel like 10 years later? What would he look like? What would we have talked about? What would he have supported me through? What frustrations would he have caused? What life lessons would I have gotten from him?

While I appreciate his angel dad appearances, and I’m grateful for the signs and people he has sent my way, none of that replaces the look from his eyes, the smile on his face, the feelings of his hugs, and his arm around me when he was telling me how proud he was.

Enjoy this Shaggy throwback - a Mark Bankemper fave. In honor of Angel Dad.

Just a polar bear trying to get his Coca Cola.

The signs were signing. And when I walked into the dealership and they were playing Johnny Cash I knew the car was mine. I’ve gone to by a car by myself 3 times. Each time asking my angel dad to help me. And every time, there was a song playing on the radio that told me it was him. I ALWAYS took my dad to buy a car with me. And when he died 10 years ago that was one of my biggest fears. How was I going to buy a car “by myself”?!

Silly me. My dad would never let me buy a car alone. He’s been with me every time.
