The Strasser's

I can't believe after this weekend that summer is over with. It sure has gone by fast. I don't really post about me. This is a post about me and what's been going on. It has been a interesting summer. This summer started off with a trip to Salem We had to make a trip to Utah. My dad started having some problems on Father's Day. They weren't sure if he was having mini seizures or mini strokes. It was a very difficult trip. I was having a hard time with having to say goodbye to my dad. I know it doesn't have the brain damage anymore and is doing better now. I still am having really rough time. I have had a lot of moments, where I just had to excuse myself from everything and have my moment. I have finally held the baggie with my dad's wedding ring in it.

Well the last couple of weeks have been a little crazy. On the 19th of June, my dad passed away. It has been difficult for me. Here are some pictures of what his room looked like before I took down what I wanted to keep.  He had pictures of the kids, Cory and I all over his walls.  He would use a stencil for the letters and a ruler for the straight lines.
