a void



Two years ago today, I received an unexpected phone call from my mom. I was at work, and it was nearing the end of the day. At this time, it was unusual for my mom to call me at work, so I knew immediately that something was wrong. And I was right...she told me that my step father Pat had passed away. He was so young still...it was so hard to believe.

My life is different without him in it. I miss him all the time, and random things will remind me of him. He had such a big heart, and the world is a sadder place without him.

Two years. How have two years gone by without him??

I am thinking about you! It is so difficult to loose a loved one, especially when they are so young! I wish I had the opportunity to meet Pat, he seems like a remarkable man.
