Change Is Hard

…but change is certain.

Remembering

14 Comments

Nineteen years ago today my family suffered an unimaginable loss when our dad was killed by a sleepy semi driver while driving to the airport.

It seems like yesterday. It seems like a hundred years ago.

Today we remember and grieve, like we have every day, every year, since December 23, 2004.

I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.

  2. I’ve been thinking of you all week knowing this date was coming – and especially on Friday when the same thing happened on Route 15 in Adams County – a tractor trailer hit a car – and sadly, you know the pain now shared by more families –

    Hugz from Willow and me –

  7. I’m sorry for your loss Dawn; it’s made even sadder at a time when most everyone else is joyful … that makes it even more difficult.

  9. So hard to lose your dad like that, and at Christmas, to boot. I’m so sorry that you didn’t get more of him in your life.

  12. There’s so much pressure to be “joyous” and “merry” this time of year, but for so many it can be a tough time to feel that way. I wish you had had more time together. Hugs.
