Maybe a Message From Dad

The other day I posted about Mom telling me that if you see the time 12:34 a loved one is looking down on you from Heaven. This time I was thinking deeply of my Dad and then there it was when I went to check the temperature on my lock screen. I immediately felt like he was in the room with me and I could smell his Old Spice cologne.

I was not as close to my Dad as with my Mom, but we where, in my mind, closer than most Fathers and Sons. I have a lot of strong memories with Dad. We went shooting, hunting gophers and fishing. We spent time at the armouries and the police station together.

We had long talks into the night at times while a B-Movie played on the TV. He told me things that he never told another soul, not even Mom.

We even had a beer together on the rare instance.

Often when I am watching a movie, I think, "Dad would have loved this movie."

I've very much been missing my family this last while. I'm about to post my brothers obituary, as his Son never put one out there that I could find.

I can't stop feeling the loss the last few days. There are holes in my heart left behind when they died. Nothing will ever fill those holes. I long to see them again in a place where there is no pain and struggling, a place of only love and peace.

Top 20 Deli Meats (Cold Cuts) Rated

Image
I found a list of the top 20 cold cuts in the world. That head cheese got into this list makes me wonder what so called normal people think is good food. This is of course keyed to my tastes only and may not be how you see it. For example, Dad loved Bologna above all other cold cuts, and would fry it black and make sandwiches with tomato and Kraft sandwich spread. Sometimes the bread of toasted. On a side note, literally ONLY white bread of served to us at home as young folks and so on. The idea of eating brown bread was out of the question. BTW Mom's favorite cold cut was Olive Loaf. My perfect 10 no longer exists and it was called Onion Loaf. Nothing will ever replace Onion Loaf in my mind. 1 Turkey Breast 4/10 2 Ham 5/10 3 Roast Beef 2/10 4 Salami 7/10 5 Bologna 3/10 6 Chicken Breast 4/10 7 Prosciutto 9/10 8 Pastrami 8/10 9 Pepperoni 7/10 10 Mortadella 7/10 11 Corned Beef 4/10 12 Capicola 7/10 13 Liverwurst 6/10 14 Soppressata 8/10 15 Chorizo 6/10 16 Genoa 7/10 17 Pork Roll 2/10...

WAS GIVEN A HOODIE

Image
This is an out of focus photo of me with my new hoodie. A friend gave it to me the other day. It's soft and I like it. It is replacing my old light jacket that is rather crinkly when I move in it. This one is nice and quiet LOL. It will do for when there is just a chill in the air and it's a zip, not a pull over, so I like it. BTW in Saskatchewan we call these things "Bunny Hugs".
