A slow comeback...

Hello all...

For those who are wondering I am still here and so is Love Caps. It is safe to say that I took a long (unexpected) sabbatical for several months and quite frankly I am not proud of it. However, such is life...and that is exactly the reason for my hiatus. Life...it really is a rollercoster.

I've spent some time reading over all my old posts and updates and am flooded by so many memories and proud moments for what we have accomplished in the first year. It really is all so amazing and re-reading my posts made me emotional.

I have been so busy with my own personal life and whatnot that I have had to take several steps back from Love caps, BUT I am slowly ready to pick things up again.
I am amazed at my determination and drive when I first started Love Caps and in a way am ashamed because I am lacking in those areas at this present time.

However, like my daddy, I am not a quitter...it may take me a little longer to get back into the swing of things, but I refuse to give up. This is my baby...and my daddy's legacy! Plus, giving to others is the least I can do...it's such a rewarding feeling when I look back at all the people I have met and the lives that have been touched by our cause.

So, with all that said, I am so sorry to all those I have let down due to being M.I.A. over that last several months.
I am so sorry daddy for losing my focus and being distracted with such unimportant matters.
It's such a bummer to think of where Love Caps could have been today if I didn't get so off focus, but hope is not lost! The dream is still alive...it was just a slight bump in the road.

Just an FYI:
My main goal for this year is to finally obtain my own non-profit status!

Also, Love Caps was not complete dormat. Donations were still made to local hospitals. The Senior Center in San Leandro continue to help provide beautiful Love Caps for donations.

I will post more updates in a later blog post.

Thank you for taking some time to read my ramblings...

One year has gone by so fast...

In just a few short hours will mark ONE year since I said my last "see you later" to my dad. I can't believe that it has been one year already...it feels like yesterday.

HAPPY HEAVEN BIRTHDAY,DADDY!

Dad, I plan on celebrating you on May 1, 2011. I had plans on going for a bike ride tomorrow morning in his memory, but have decided to go to spend the morning at church like I do every Sunday. I'm not quite ready to face the one year mark yet, so I plan on just treating tomorrow like every other day. As always I will be thinking back on my dad's smile, laugh and all the memorable moments.

I miss you, dad - everyday. I would give anything to see you again and to give you a big hug and tell you how much I LOVE YOU!

I know you are watching over me and I can't wait to see you again. I long for the day we meet again...my life has NEVER been the same since you left.

I love you.
I miss your face.
