Ryan, myself and my dad circa 1977 in the San Juan Islands

I miss my dad. Lots of things remind me of him.

The other day I was letting my husband smell a new perfume I was wearing and he told the girls, "You know what your grandpa used to call perfume? He called it 'smell pretty'."

I loved that he remembered that and that my dad gave us so many great ways to remember him with his funny phrases and hilarious personality.
