I Miss Him ......

...... even now.
Especially now.

This is the third high school graduation I've had to do without him (and I've done 5 college graduations with Bachelors and Masters).
All 3 sons have had to go through this without him.
So sucky.

And while life has gotten better, and I am mostly happy, these days are still, and always will be, difficult.

Last night it hit me, because I stopped long enough to think about it.  I usually try to not do that.
Think, that is.
About that.
I cried.
Hopefully I'm done crying about it.
But I'm not taking any bets.

I'm proud of Son #3.
It's been a very long road to here.

Happy Graduation, Son.
I love you.
And so does Dad.
