We are entering what is going to be a tough time of mourning as we move through this upcoming holiday season without Dad. It was no secret that Dad loved Christmas, but what kicked off this season for him was Veterans Day. He was a proud veteran and seeing him on this day was a truly special blessing that I will always remember. His pride at the parade as he thanked fellow veterans and they thanked him always made me cry (and him). This year we ventured out in his honor and made it through together feeling his presence the entire way. He would have been proud:)
After the parade we had lunch and took a field trip to the Cole's Transportation Museum. We had not been before and, per usual, we were surprised at how long the kids stayed to learn about the exhibits and the extra special memorials for the Veterans who served alongside Mr. Cole in World War II. It was a wonderful day, but we missed you Dad!
