It was 2 years ago when I lost Dad. He would always set off an amazing fireworks show for the neighborhood for 12 years straight. I thought it was rather ironic that he died right after midnight which was the 4th. I heard the sounds of fireworks in the background where people were setting them off.. testing them you might say. But it was heard. This is the sound I dread hearing.
It only seems like he's been gone a month. I don't know how long I can go ignoring holidays like this. My kids have no desire to see fireworks, or to even hear them at a distance. We'll either be alseep by 8:00 or will have the food channel on tonight.
I do wish American a Happy Birthday... but this is one family who won't be attending any parties.
