Gone… but not forgotten!

My dad lost his battle with pancreatic cancer on Friday, Feb. 12th.  I am still processing everything.  No matter how long you think you have to say things, the finality of death is always difficult.  He fought for 18 months, with my step-mother, Cheryl by his side through it all.

Over the past several months, we were able to spend some quality time with my dad, and I will forever be grateful for the time to just be with him… watching my kids interact and soaking up the beautiful sunshine.

The above photo was taken almost 2 years ago, before his diagnosis!  I love how much little Campbelle looks like her grandpa!  The “Bohn- blue eyes” live on, through the next couple of generations.

There are so many things rushing through my mind and heart as we grieve!  I think one of the most disappointing things is that he will not have the opportunity to meet his new grandson who is due in June!

We are having an informal “Tribute” to my dad on Sunday, February 28th.  If you happen to be a close friend of the family and are interested in attending, please email me so that I can give you the details.

Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers for my family, in this difficult time.
