New Home

October 21, 2019

The time has come to change my writing home. My plans are to move my current blog home to Wordpress.com under a different name in the coming weeks. BUT, that said I have soooooo many Dad stories that I'd still like to share; Stories of his past that have kept me entertained my whole life that I think you will find entertaining too. So here's the thing: I will keep posting, albeit less frequently. Feel free to subscribe to: trippinwithdad.blogspot.com to keep up with Dad and the beautiful colorful life he led. I made a promise to him that I would make sure his grandchildren knew his story and I will do just that through the blog. So stay tuned for more trips with Dad and new trips with Sylvia and Raymond. See you in a few weeks!!

I have never actually scuba dived (do scuba lessons at the resort pool in Mexico count?) but I am familiar with the term, 'decompression'. In a sound bite it means a return to normal atmosphere following exposure to great pressure. My understanding is that after a diver has been under hundreds of feet of water for a certain length of time that they have to allow ample time for certain cellular gases to exchange so that they do not experience 'the bends' or diving sickness before they return to the surface.

Dad is Done Trippin

Living life Our elders set the example The Three Amigos What a difference 24 hours can make. Yesterday, we were the Three Amigos. Today we are the Dynamic Duo truly missing our Wing Man. What a difference 24 hours can make. Yesterday we encouraged Dad to bravely walk the last mile of his journey. And today we wish he could still travel just one more mile with us. What a DIFFERENCE 24 HOURS CAN MAKE. Yesterday, Dad was still breathing but hardly living. And today Dad isn't breathing but truly living! We love you to eternal life Pop Pops. Fully enjoy the family and friends you've been waiting to love on. Watch over the loved ones left here. Know that your legacy is secure. I can only imagine that when you met Jesus you FINALLY told him what you've been wanting him to know for soooo long; "THANK YOU LORD". With your beloved now Love that will never end
