Hi everyone. Troy here again. Just wanted to say that I've got some good news for a change. My mom and I just got back from Portland, Oregon from my sister's wedding. My sister Beth married Dustin in a little ceremony in their back yard with me officiating after getting ordained online, lol.
The whole day I was asking for a sign that my dad was there and after the ceremony when they were getting final photos taken in front of their house I got one. I don't know if my dad ever mentioned her but we had a scottish terrier named Jett and she was his baby. lol. She was always around him and he even picked out a recliner because it had enough room for the two of them to sit togther. Unfortunately Jett passed away a few years ago. And my mom and I haven't seen one since we lost her. Until the day of the wedding and a couple was walking their scotty dog in front of my sister's house. And their dog came up to us and acted so friendly it was like having Jett back. My grandma loved Jett too and she was the one who saw the dog and had the couple stop and come back and showed her to us. My mom cried a bit and my grandma felt bad but my mom just said "don't feel bad, that just confirmed for me that Tim was here". I'm usually not one for signs but having a scottish terrier like Jett, my dad's favorite dog, show up seems to be too big of one for me to ignore.
We have a photo tribute that the funeral home put together for us that I'm gonna put on youtube for family that couldn't come and when I do I'll post it here. His coworkers said it was nice seeing a different side to him and I'm sure you guys would too.
I still miss my dad. And I always will. But with the help of my friends, family, and you guys, it's getting easier.
