The girls have been doing amazing things.  Lindsey is in her second year at Northwestern.  I’m listening to her on the WNUR Folk Show.  She is doing so many fun and interesting things in Chicago, Evanston and around the world.  Chelsey has decided to attend the Florida Institute of Technology in the fall studying Astronomy and Planetary Sciences.  Your little girls have grown up into amazing and wonderful young women.

Oh how we miss you.

]]> http://www.kattywilly.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=1321 0 Happy Valentines Day http://www.kattywilly.com/blog/?p=1319 http://www.kattywilly.com/blog/?p=1319#comments Sun, 14 Feb 2010 16:37:47 +0000 admin http://www.kattywilly.com/blog/?p=1319 I was reading a post today written by another member of the Widowed club.  I find this one of the most difficult of the “holidays”.

The girls and I found our comfort in each other on the “regular” holidays. We tried our best to continue our family traditions with the family we still have. We tried to travel one Christmas and we ended up promising that we would always celebrate Christmas at home.

Then there is Valentines. This “holiday” is different than all the other family celebrations.

This was the one for you and your love. Now the love of our lives is gone, that is the person we loved, but not the love we still have in our hearts for the ones we have lost. I find the struggle to understand this love I still have one of the hardest parts of being widowed. All this love and no way to express it, to feel it.

I guess I just redirect it to my daughters in some way. I love you girls with all the love I have. You are amazing young women, and I’m sure your mother is as proud as I am, for all you have achieved. I look forward in the hope that you will find happiness and joy in your lives.

Happy Valentines day, Love Dad
