Some Days...

...I'm reminded of my dad everywhere I turn.  My aunt sent me this picture out of the blue yesterday.  I'd never seen it before but it's my dad when he was about my age, 37 or so...

I see SO much of James in him...

And today, when I took the boys to get their hair cut, this is who was in front of us in line…

"Randy B."  Just like my dad, Randy Blumenschein.

I think of my dad all of the time but I can't help but to feel like these "little things" are his way of checking in and reminding me he's still here… in our hearts now, but definitely not gone.
