Tomorrow will be the first birthday I have ever celebrated without my Daddy. I am still trying to totally wrap my head around the fact that he won't be calling me to sing his off key rendition of "Happy Birf Birf" to me. There are times when I can almost pretend he is still over at his house just 5 minutes away. But, this is not one of those times. This is one of those times when the "Daddy shaped" hole in my heart is aching.
Maybe, if I listen very closely, I can "hear" the echoes of happy birthday songs past. More than a little off key of course.

Some holes never get filled. Many hugs and wishes for a Happy Birthday even as you miss your Daddy.
