Miss you, Dad

Five years ago today, we lost my dad Jeff after a long journey with cancer. 

I feel lucky to have grown up with a dad as present as him. Even with a full schedule, he had a way of being grounded in the moment with people.

He remains my role model for how he wrote, how he spoke, and how he served.

I miss him in my core. The list of things I wish I could still share with him grows daily. 

Here are a few links of things I’ve written about my dad, and things he’s written, for anyone interested:

• How my dad taught me to write

• How golf brings me closer to my dad with every divot

• How my dad teaches me (still) to stay in the moment

• Go For the Green (his golf-themed daily devotional)

• My Hundred Helpers (his book about his journey with cancer)

• The last thing my dad said publicly.
