Merry Christmas Ang!!
I cannot believe I missed writing to you last Christmas. Humans....so preoccupied with life and themselves. Gee what's up with that!! I sure have not forgotten you! I miss you every day.
Well, I bet you already know as you, Dad and maybe even Mom are getting ready for Christmas, but Dad passed away this morning around 3 am. He always was an early bird! That darn stroke and head/neck injury got the best of him. The good thing for him is that he did not linger long. He was starting to have some health issues that are age associated. Wow, is that what Dave and I have to look forward to?
A little story.....Freaky thing is that around 3:00 am, I woke up. As I turned to look at the clock, I could swear I saw the upper part of dad looking at me kinda transparent over an airplane picture on the wall. I closed my blinked my eyes as I could not really believe what I was seeing. When my eyes opened he was gone. Just a few minutes later I got the call that he had passed. Ok, now I truly believe when people talk about that. I wish he would have stuck around a bit. Maybe I'll see him tonight!
I haven't spoken to any of your kids for a long time. Jennifer has a lot of anger about your passing and of the Spring family. She let me have it one day a couple of years ago as she made it clear how she felt about us. I watch them on Facebook regularly and they seem to be doing well. Your Grandkids have gotten so big and really love wrestling. See how much of an influence you were?
I promise not to wait so long to write in the future. Dave and I will carry on as best we can. Our family has dwindled to the two of us. Wish we were all still here in person but I know you, Mom and Dad are here with us every day whether we realize it or not.
Merry Christmas!
Love
Jay
