Our Dad Rocks in Heaven.....

Sunday my mom called me several times that day to see if I was home yet… and then she told me she was at my house with my dad during the day ??… hummm? I didn’t know what was up or what was going on?… so on my way home Sunday night.. She called again and I was in the car driving .. And said.. You must look around when you get home and then call me? So now I’m trying to get home really fast now to see what this was all about?!….. I finally get in the house and its dark outside.. I notice a light on in the back.. So I follow it….I knew something had to be out there…. And as I get closer I notice something shining …I get closer to see it…and discover a memory bench in honor of Dave… (and I just broke down... with tears, it makes it all real that Dave isn't physically with us anymore...) They placed it in front of the tree our neighbors planted for Dave when he died… and how ironic that... the cobblestone circle we had put in when we made the patio 3 years ago was left untouched until now… kinda makes me think there was a reason for that circle?... like I subconsciously knew something?... Because I was so persistent that I wanted that circle built into the patio… I remember Dave asking me why do you need this? I said because I want a tree there someday!…over the next couple years it was empty and used as the kids sandbox... But now life has taken care of that empty space... A tree was planted by our good friends in honor of Dave when he passed away…A meaningful one and a now a bench for him that surrounds it…A place for us to sit and remember our Dad, husband… and Friend…
Thank you to my Brother Kevin and wife Tina, Brother Billy and Sister Christine and husband Larry.. My mom and Dad for this piece of stone art that will be cherished forever.. Thank you… that was a really nice surprise and the genius idea of putting our Family logo on there… ! Love you guys!…
