Today we remember

A year has passed since Michelle's Dad, Rick, passed away. When trying to think of something fitting to do on this day, it only felt right to go to Rick's favorite place, Fort Casey, on Whidbey Island.

Many years ago when Mom and Dad bought their first trailer it was purchased (with big windows in the back) for a certain camp site at Fort Casey. This is where I wanted to go. Fort Casey holds many great memories for me in my childhood, as well has my children's childhood. We sat on the logs at the beach and threw rocks in the water. Today the sun was out, it was windy, but beautiful! As we sat there with our own thoughts a bald eagle flew right over our heads. We left the beach to explore the Fort, we never tire of doing this!! Fort Casey has become home to many deer, and we saw no fewer than a dozen grazing in the grass.

It is hard to believe a year has come and gone. There hasn't been one day that I haven't thought of my Dad, I miss him so. We love you Dad!!
