Today is the one year mark since my step-dad passed away. Dave had been a part of our family since I was 12...and he truly raised me as his own. I can honestly say I was blessed to have 2 fathers. I didn't think I'd be quite as emotional as I am today...but I really felt that he would always be there in my life. The idea of losing him never crossed my mind...and his illness was so quick (he was diagnosed with end stage lung cancer, had already spread to bones, brain, spine, and skull) They diagnosed him at the very end of August last year and he passed away 10/13.Looking back over the past year...its just been rough, having lost my biological father as well this past June. So today just hit me kinda hard. That's all...just venting.
