ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Edwina left for Hawaii at 7AM. I cannot believe it's already been one year since pappa Lapa passed. She flew first class all the way via Detroit...La...and Hawaii. I'm alone here with Gracey. The morning brought a huge reversal from mid-70s to now mid-50s with a cold piercing rain. Maybe that's Pappa Lapa's way of saying I should've gone...but....I have to stay at work. The recession has affected business with a 20% drop last year. This month looks grim...but...we're holding on. Rest in peace Dad. I really miss you too....
