contagious or genetic?

...the pile of books and notebooks next to Alexa's bed.

So is it contagious or is it genetic?  Or am I just setting a bad example?

everything changes

this year we said goodbye to my beloved Dad

life feels different now in much the same way that it did when I became a mother

life beginning

life ending

life continuing on.  in so many ways the same.

but changed.  because i've changed.

i was blessed to have a father who loved me beyond reason

and i don't just miss his presence in our lives

i miss the way he looked at me like no one else ever did or undoubtedly will

with a kind of un-earned and unreasonably adoring sort of love in his eyes.

love you, Dad
