I am happy that the last time I saw him, I told him that I loved him. He said "Me too". That was what he always said. I can still hear his voice, saying that.
I have his desk. I love sitting here. He spent alot of time at this desk, it was in "his room", his library and he would sit every night at this desk and read. He was a real history buff.
I have his belt buckle. He was always a "cowboy boots and buckle" kind of guy. He loved eagles. (Jim does too, I love that about him.)
This is Lisenby. He has a nice view. I used to find cemeterys scary. Now, I find great comfort here. It is so peaceful, a small country cemetery. Jim and I bought a spot just a few rows over from Dad, this past summer. I find comfort in that, too. 
I miss my Dad. I know he would not want me to be sad. But I can't help it. I love you, Dad. I can almost hear him say "Me, too".

Oh....what a sweet post. I am sorry for his untimely death but glad you have good memories to support you.
What a great blessing that you had such a special relationship with your dad and now wonderful treasured memories.
I feel your sadness, my dad died when I was seventeen. I love my mother dearly, who is still living close by, but dads are so special to their daughters. No man has ever measured up to my dad.
What a father. What a daughter.
Hugs to you dear friend.
Oh, yeah, he's saying it everyday. I know how you feel! So happy you have some of his treasures around to remind you of him everyday. And, how nice that you are going to be able to go to your final rest near him, too!
My heart tugged reading this....please know I am thinking of you and feel your loss...big hugs to you my friend...Khris
How nice that you have some things of his that have significance. I can't imagine sitting at a desk to read (to write, yes, but to read!?!), but what a beauty it is! And I love belt buckles, too. My dad gave me a custom belt buckle one year that I still need to find a belt to put it on. I was still riding motorcycles at the time, and he had a welder friend create a belt buckle that looked like a motorcycle engine. Anyway, my heart goes out to you.
