However, I miss him dearly. I'm not sure what my dad would think about my new found love of hockey. He'd probably just laugh, but boy would he love this whole blogging thing!

I can't even imagine what a difficult thing that must've been to experience especially since you were old enough to really get it. I'm glad you ended up with such an awesome step-dad though! Thank you for sharing! <BR/><BR/>Jaime, I went through a period in high school where I really thought about learning to play bagpipes but I never followed through on it. Maybe some day!Heather B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06796852014625052317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-12444175435341228792008-06-16T08:59:00.000-04:002008-06-16T08:59:00.000-04:00That was a wonderful tribute to your dad.

That was a terribly traumatic experience for an 8 year old. But on the bright side, I have the most awesome step-dad in the world. He and my mom didn't meet and marry until I was out of high school, but we formed an instant bond and he is the one person that is willing to listen to me rant about hockey and not roll his eyes. And he accompanied me and my daughter to out first Sabres game last fall in Raleigh. <BR/><BR/>Again, thanks for sharing!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15430266767531322227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-68337417495792288192008-06-16T01:19:00.000-04:002008-06-16T01:19:00.000-04:00I LOVE bagpipes!!What adorable pictures.
