Wow, i really have not written in livejournal for a LONG time. Anyways, most of you that know me are aware of the fact that my dad passed away last thursday from cancer. It is getting to the point where I am realizing that I have seen him for the last time in my life, and it kind of sucks.
Anyways, yesterday was the service, and it was probably one of the most incredible things that I have ever seen. We were escorted from Lake Zurich to Barrington Hills by 181 police cars. While at Willow Creek, during the service, I realized how great of an impact my dad had on his profession and others. Me and my sister and brothers did not even realize this impact because he was always just my dad. At the end there was a 21 gun salute and he was gone. My brothers were pallbearers and me and my sister put his badge and hat on his casket. It was really a good service, minus the shitty preacher.
It comes down to I love my dad and I miss him.
