Remembering Dad

Yesterday we celebrated Memorial Day by briefly visiting the site where Albert's dad was laid to rest two years ago. We go there often (i.e. Veteran's Day, the anniversary of the day of his passing, Memorial Day, Father's Day, etc.) and tell stories remembering him. It's a tradition I believe is good for Rufus. By visiting often and hearing all the fun stories he can become more familiar with him even though he will not meet him in this life. Albert will not often say aloud, "I miss my Dad," but I know he misses him more than he lets on. I feel a part of Albert's dad is alive in him and each one of his brothers and sisters; and because of that he will never be forgotten.
