The times I think of my dad.

There are many things and places that make me think of my dad and I felt like writing them all out. I miss him so much every day and I still feel like I've been cheated! But most importantly, that Kailyn has been cheated out on spending time with such a great grandpa!

So these are the things that remind me of him:

• When I see a motorcycle.
• When I see someone wearing a Harley Davidson shirt or hat.
• When I see a Harley Davidson store, window decal, pretty much anything related to a Harley.
• When I take a funny picture of Kailyn I think of how much he would've loved seeing it.
• When Kailyn does something new I think of how I would've called him to tell him.
• When I see Brian with Kailyn, he's such a great father just like my dad was!
• When I hear certain songs on the radio that remind me of him.
• When I look at the pictures I have of him around the house.
• When I walk into our downstairs bedroom because he helped us finish it.
• I think of him every night when I'm laying in bed trying to fall asleep.
• When I drive to Lincoln, NE I think about how I wish I could just stop by his house and say hi.
• When I see Kailyn with her other grandparents I think about him missing out on moments like those.
• When I see a hunting show on the TV, he loved to watch those boring shows!
• When I eat brisket, chili, sausage, french toast or goulash (those were all things he loved to eat and make).
• When I think about my wedding day I think of him walking me down the pier/aisle.
• When I see a house being a built, or a window being installed (which we have houses going up all around our neighborhood).
• When Brian and I do any type of upgrade or remodeling of our house I think about how nice it would be to call him to ask his advice.

Pretty much every hour of every day he enters my mind. I'm just waiting for the day when those thoughts don't hurt so much and I can smile instead!
