Yesterday was Memorial Day. ����
Yesterday we lost our Veteran. It is so fitting that my dad left us on Memorial Day as he bled Red, White and Blue.
Yesterday our Jordan came for her poppy.
Yesterday our lives were once again changed forever.
Yesterday my very first hero left us.
Yesterday my mom lost the love of her life and the man she has barely spent a day without for 46 years.
Yesterday my dad made his way to the place where he is no longer in pain and can now look over all of us and be with my baby girl (I am sure those two will be causing trouble).
We knew this day was coming with my dad. He has been fighting lung cancer for 18 months. We had been holding out hope that he would be here for his newest granddaughter’s birth. That was not in the cards. I believe my dad really lost his will to live when we lost Jordan. He wanted to go and be with her. Now they are together. ❤️
I am so incredibly sad and he will he missed tremendously. He was a rock in our lives and the guy who consistently made us laugh and cringe, with his inappropriate comments. I am the epitome of a daddy’s girl and I am so lucky to have been his daughter. I got an amazing dad and my kids got the best poppy.
We can swallow this loss a little easier as we know he was ready, he was so willing and wanted to be in heaven and with his brother Frank, with Jordan, and all his brothers he lost during Vietnam.
Our family is strong and we love each other so very much. We will get through this very difficult time and will be there for one another every step of the way as we grieve both Jordan and Richard Pittman and the loss of two VERY special people.
