Father's Day

This Sunday is Father's Day. I am dreading it more this year than I have in the past 6 or so. I told my mom yesterday, I think it is because I am just now dealing with Daddy's heart attack, subsequent coma, and death.

These pictures are ones that just remind me of my dad, for whatever reason.
