I wished them into the cornfield

Yes, I miss my loved ones too, especially on a day like today.

I miss my Pawpaw every single day but days like yesterday and Veteran's Day (Korean War vet) and any holiday where Patiotism spikes are harder. He was fiercely patriotic, after September 11, 2001 he put a flag pole in front of his house. He had trouble taking in the events but he knew he still loved our country.

I also tear up at those "I VOTED" stickers. He loved his right to vote and did it every election, if we were electing city council or Sheriff, he went to vote. When we were packing up his house after my Nanny went to live in Assisted living we found tons of the stickers, stuck on his personal jewelry box and his filing cabinet in the garage.

It has been five years and I am kind of glad he still haunts me. I really wondered if he would fade some in my mind but it hasn't.
