This week marks three years since my dad unexpectedly died. I don’t like the term anniversary, so if anyone has something better, please let me know.He died when my daughter was one and a half and oftentimes the hardest part about his absence is that he’s missing her grow up.At the time of his passing, she obviously couldn't understand why mommy was devastated, but that hasn’t stopped us from talking about him and today she’ll tell you that her Lolo está en el cielo (he’s in heaven).

I came to pick her up from camp aftercare and she’s spent the past 30 minutes stalling. She asked for 10 extra minutes, I gave it to her. She asked to try the monkey bars, I let her. She was waiting for her friend to leave, said friend has since left. And my girl is not budging and I’m baking under the sun trying everything to convin
