Robin's dad passed away on Thursday afternoon. He had a tear in his aorta. It was sudden and unexpected.
Steve was the closest thing I had to a dad for most of my life, and he always referred to me as his other daughter. He was a great father figure and I am sad that my own dad will never meet him. I still don't feel like writing much about it yet, but I will miss him a lot.
People are selfless when loved ones die. Yesterday morning when Robin called to tell me, she apologized to me for her own father's passing. I asked her why she was telling me sorry, and she said she knew how important he was to me. Robin is an amazing person and I know this will be harder for her than it will be for anyone else.
I spent yesterday with Robin and her mom and stepdad at their house in Sublimity. It was a hard day, but we were able to smile about a lot of good memories...he provided a ton of those for me, and I thank him for that.
A scattered history of today and the past six years of my life. Read what you like...then take it or leave it...tell me what you think...just don't tell me I shouldn't have written it.
About Me
- Sarah
- Passionate about a lot of things, have a somewhat short attention span, peacemaker to a fault, find it very valuable to never stop learning or trying new things, and very attached to my close friends and family. I've been a very fortunate person in life and believe that people who are resilient can make it through anything. A motto I live by..."Spend time with people you actually like." If you do that, life should be pretty great.
