Today is the five-year anniversary of my dad's death. Wow, five years. It seems like such a long time ago, and yet, it still feels like it happened just yesterday.
My dad, Kash, was the best dad in the world. I know most kids say that about their dads, but really, there aren't many who can beat mine. He was so smart, always begging to my calculus homework for me; extremely athletic, teaching all of us kids to water ski, wakeboard, and snow ski like the pros; and he was an incredibly spiritual man, a convert to the church and a great example to others.
I just wanted to thank everyone who has been there to let me cry on their shoulder, give me a hug, for the beautiful letters over the years, or just getting me out of the house to do something fun when I was having a bad day. I love you all, you can't understand how grateful I am for you. And dad, if you're listening, I love you too.
Love the post Ash!

ReplyDeleteP.S.Jamo & I were laughing our heads off at all your funny posts!
I didn't really know your Dad very well, but I remember going boating with your family once and he really did seem like such a cool Dad. He kept doing backflips off the boat and trying to get all of us to join in! I can't imagine how hard this is for you still, but it sounds like you really have taken it as best you can.
ReplyDeleteAsh,
ReplyDeleteI think about your dad and your family all the time. I am here to tell everyone that Kash was the greatest dad. I remember coming over all the time and he would be there at your side helping you with homework or just joking with all the kids. I have always been envious of your family...your family has always been such a happy family! You dad is proud of all of you and I am sad that I don't get to see you guys very often!
Much love,
Mindy
