new days

dad and i did a lot of stuff together...

we went to the  

uk women's basketball games 

and that led

to going to the pub before those games

and that led to all day at the pub

for st patty's day...

after he died

i wasn't sure if i would be able to

do either of them without him...

walking into memorial coliseum for the first game 

without him

was terrible...

it felt like someone punched me in the gut...

but i had my friends surrounding me...

walking into the pub st patty's morning

without him

was terrible...

it felt like someone punched me in the gut...

but i had my friends and new family surrounding me...

and i made it through both days...

but i learned something very important on 

those days...

uk women's basketball games

and 

st patty's day at the pub

have nothing to do with 

uk women's basketball games

and

st patty's day at the pub...

the only thing that mattered on those

days was the time i spent with my dad...

surrounded by hundreds

sometimes even thousands of people

dad and i found the time to bond

just him and i...

but now

it's just not the same...

so i don't go to the

uk women's basketball games...

and i won't be doing the all day

st patty's day celebration at the pub...

i just registered to run a 3K

on saturday the 16th...

and i'll be at the pub that evening

and probably late into the night...

but i won't be there all day...

and i won't be there on the 17th...

but rest assured that dad

will be watching over all the festivities...
