Today is the 11th anniversary of my father passing away, one day when I have more time I might do a little theraputic writing about it but for now I just want to say that I think Im finally subscribing to the theory that time does heal all wounds. I still miss my dad terribly and I get pretty emotional when this day rolls around, but just out of some sort of tradition. I mean, I miss my dad everyday, I dont bottle it up all year and vent on this one day, just like people dont hold out on the good luvins' all year then spontaneously combust with candy hearts on Valentines Day. But really, I think back to the first few anniversaries of his death and it really messed me up, I had to sequester myself from everyone and just do my thing... but this year seems nothing like those first few years, I just carried on with my daily tasks... and even thought (for a moment) that the memory of his face his smell was getting a little fuzzy... and thats what made me sad.
Hot mamma! She looks like a diva already! They must be getting her ready for the Arizona summers.
Is this crazy whackjob of a hippie running off with Em? Naw its just uncle Wyannt ;)
Love the emotive faces kiddo!
My cousin Mike was nice enough to bring most of our stuff up to Buffalo since he and his family were going to be there for the Erie County Fair. It was a really sweet deal and super nice of them to do that, otherwise we would only have been able to bring what would fit in the truck (after us and the dogs were in). Anyhoo, we had to go down to the fair before it opened to pick up the stuff and I got all nostalgic about my childhood and life in the carnival and all that, so I agreed to work the weekends for a friend of the family. That being said, let me just say this. Oh my god! Its true, you can never go home! I wasnt there a second until I was thrown into the heat of all the midway drama... good god.... there's actually alot to this, but its best I dont plaster it on the web...
Quick stop in Asheville, NC to see my great cuzzin Katie and her husband Tom. Talk about a hip-hippie town. DAMN. Anyways, we apparently have alot of cool ideas about making our own clothes and stuff, so maybe you'll be seeing some hip threads soon!
