Anniversary

Over the weekend, my Mom, three of my sisters, nephew and niece had dinner together. We got together to celebrate the 17th anniversary of Dad's death.

We had a good meal, we laughed and talked. A few of my sisters said that they stopped at the cemetery to visit Dad. I didn't make it back for his anniversary. I did visit Dad on Father's Day. It just doesn't seem like he has been gone that long. We all remember that day from 1998 like it was yesterday.

It was nice to get together on his anniversary and just be together as a family. We usually try to do something together on his anniversary, but that doesn't always happen. Both of my brothers were unable to attend and another sister. It would have been great to have everyone together at dinner.
