Have A Skate With Bob

This Saturday I am going to be participating in a charity hockey game in memory of my Dad. It is going to be so much fun and hilarious because I have not played hockey since I was a little girl on the pond behind our old house. This Saturday I am going to hockey suit up and raise money to fight Pancreatic Cancer! The event will be held in Rockford at the BMO Harris Bank Center. One $15 ticket gets you in to 2 charity games AND The Rockford IceHogs game as they take on the Milwaukee Admirals. There will also be a silent auction with some amazing signed items from members of the Blackhawks and many more! I am very much looking forward to this Saturday.It's going to be so much fun and it's going to raise a lot of money for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network!! For ticket information email Bob at bob@skatewithbob.com and check out the website haveaskatewithbob.com!

Look Out, World.

I haven't been writing on here as much as I could, or should. It's hard for me to bare my heart and soul for all  to see. But I'm doing a lot better these days. I'm starting to enjoy life again. Now, the days I spend smiling and laughing heavily outweigh the nights I spend crying. I am coming back to life and I'm feeling good about it. It's time I stop feeling sorry for myself and start making my Dad proud of me!

Vulnerable

It's June, and in 20 days it will be a year since my dad died. One whole year. Three hundred and sixty five days. I will have spent every single one of those days thinking about him, missing him, loving him, remembering him, and more than anything just wishing he was still here. I get so sad seeing all of the Father's Day stuff in the stores because all I can think about is how Father's Day was the day he was admitted to the hospital for the last time. And how he never even go to open and read my Father's Day card. A year later and it still hurts as bad as it did a year ago. I'm not the same person anymore either. I'm filled with so much anger and sadness. But it does get easier to cope with everyday. I just have to keep living one day at a time. I do have good days but there are definitely still a lot of bad days mixed in. I'm lucky to have awesome friends and family to share and enjoy the good days with.


"It's hard to say I miss you, since you've been gone I'm not the same"
Love You, Dad
