Not sure what to say?

Seeing Greg's smiling face this morning made my day. I'm glad there are still memories being posted.

As another year--one of the craziest of all crazy years I've lived--passes by since my dad died, I have been struggling with what I can possibly write to capture all that has gone on in my life, all that I wish I could talk over with him. I have somehow come up with one significant and timely memory. I remember my dad bailing my (innocent and subsequently fully exonerated) ex-husband out of jail on a felony assault of a police officer charge and picking me up from the SF jail early the...

You continue to influence and inspire Greg. Know that you made such an incredible difference in the world and are missed. Rest well; TY...

Time to stop by this site and return a smile as I look at that huge Trindle smile. It always has been inspirational and conveys so much about the man wearing it. Another year, yet much to be grateful for; especially including Greg and how his legacies live on. I´m also grateful to all those who continue to share thoughts and feelings here, as they too would bring a smile to his face. Be well Trindle family, be well, happy and healthy...

As always, I still think about my beloved dad all the time and I'm reminded close to the anniversary of his passing to post a note for anyone else who might be thinking about him too. I still miss him so much, though, as the years pass, I'm focused more on gratitude for all the time with him that I did have. I wish he could see my kiddos growing up and that he was here to shape their values in the same way he shaped mine. I'd love to surprise him with our newest family member--another...

Watching my kids and nieces run around on an Easter egg hunt this morning, I am reminded of Easter celebrations with my Dad over many years. From my childhood I remember dressing in pretty new spring colored dresses, coloring Easter eggs, eating loads of chocolate before breakfast, and searching the backyard for all the eggs the "Easter bunny" had hidden. We usually couldn't find at least a couple every year. My dad always participated in all of these events with smiles and hugs and I...

Just another note, another year, of missing my Dad. As the days go on with so many wonderful things and some very hard days, I so often just wish I could crawl into my dad's lap for a giant cuddle. I am grateful I know exactly what that feels like. I am a lucky one.

I still miss my dad so often. After hearing just last night about the sudden and tragic passing of a long time casual friend with her children not even grown yet,
I feel especially reminded of the loss, and I feel deep gratitude. I got to know my dad for almost 40 years. What a gift.
As the years go by (now 6 of them) and my children grow and I watch my husband father our children, I am reminded of my dad often. Having an attentive, playful, sporty, firm, loving dad is a life...

Thinking of Greg this week. Gone too soon, missed but will always remember his kindness!!!
