Memorial Day

Some of you are probably wondering what on earth this picture has to do with Memorial Day. Well... to me... Everything...Or kind of. Today i woke and i went to the gym, I was doing sit ups when My thoughts shifted towards my Dad. I was thinking about how he use to work out at the gym (in physical therapy) to build his or well i guess KEEP his muscles (since he has Mytonic Dystrophy.. a disease of the muscles) I remember him taking me, and wanting me to do everything i could be strong. I knew he wanted me to be healthy. Thats when i all of the sudden was brought back to reality of where I was-the gym. And what day it was. Today was memorial day, and the reason i was thinking of my Dad was a "tender mercy" sent from Heaven that my dad loves me. I know it was not coincidence. I knew he must have been proud of me.

I was feeling guilty for not being able to go down to his grave, but Memorial Day is not about decorating graves, its about remembering the veterans and further more the ones you love who have passed on. Its not a sad Holiday, but a Happy one. The story does not end. The Legacy lives on. Families are forever. That's whats truly important.

Now i know that in Heaven, my dads probably not rocking out to Rolling Stones, but for all of you who knew my Dad, knows this was his ultimate Favorite Band. He Had jackets and movies, and all there cds. So this is Tribute to him.

I love you Dad.
