I just realized that next week marks my 15th anniversary of keeping a journal. I totally remember why I started it too.

I was watching the Roseanne episode where it's her b-day and they give her the basement as an office. In that episode she talks about how she used to keep a journal when she was younger, but life got in the way and she stopped.

I can not believe that 16 years ago today, my dad died.

I'm not sad anymore, I'm over that. But these days just get me to thinking about him.

The good things about him. The bad things about him. His laugh. How his sweaters smelled. The "smile" tan lines he'd get on his belly because of the way he'd sit outside tanning (which I actually inherited if I sit the same way in the sun :lol: ).
