As you know, if you read my last post, I had my presentation speaking class yesterday. One of the speeches was about cancer insurance and every time I hear the word cancer I think of my dad. He died from Colon cancer. It’s still very hard to think about it, I was 21 when he died and it was a huge ordeal and something I don’t’ want any young person to go though, even though I know they do and some much younger then I was.

During the drive home I kept thinking about how my dad always had a pocket watch. he loved having one and never wore an actual watch. My sister still has it somewhere, I’m not sure where. It made me smile thinking about it. Losing someone is so hard and really can have a huge effect on the rest of your life. Even my niece who was 4 when my father passed is still effected, there have been a few times where she will say she misses grandpa. Sometimes you smile when she says it, sometimes it just puts a small knot in your stomach. People say it will get better with time, but I haven’t seen too much improvement yet.
