Hey, this is Kelley with Gia's Italian Kitchen. I didn't think this was going to hit me because it was so long ago, but it hits me really every time I think about it. So this happened also over the holidays, where we finally spread or shook or whatever my dad's ashes because we were all together and so we thought that would be the time to do it. It's been 20 plus years. It's absolutely insane that he's been sitting on a bookshelf. It's actually insane that he's been gone that long. I can't even believe it. So we did it. It was raining out and we took a walk and we did it. We spread him, we shared some memories of him. I don't know See, now I'm choking up, but we actually, like nobody cried that day. It was really weird. But I think about him all the time. I think about not being able to call him and ask him for advice. I think about how he doesn't know my kids.
Kelley Cole:It sucks. It sucks losing a parent, and I'm sure there's well, I know there's millions of people out there that are in that boat. But, man, it sucks. And it sucks when it's young, when you're young and they're young and you have a vision or a an image of what you think your adult life is going to be and what what it's going to look like and how they're going to be involved in your relationship and how they're going to spend time with your kids, and you're going to take vacations and you're going to go visit them when they retire to the south, when it's warm and it's freezing in the midwest. I don't know, this sucks. This totally sucks. I feel bad. My heart goes out to people that are in this situation and, I'm sure, much worse than mine, but it really sucks.
Kelley Cole:Losing a parent to well, my dad, he died of colon cancer. So, yeah, that's a whole different can of worms, with the cancer conversation and how so many millions and millions and millions of people have it, and what is it caused by. Anyway, um, yeah, so anyway, so we finally spread the ashes and I don't know, I don't even know if it feels like closure. I think it was more like a a to do, since we were all together, I don't know. Anyway, just thought I would share hugs and prayers to anyone out there listening that has lost a parent. I know what you're going through. It super sucks.
Kelley Cole:I wish I could talk to him. I wish I could see him. I wish so, yeah, so probably sharing too much, but I totally believe in ghosts, I totally believe in spirits and angels and and I wish he was here. I hope he's here, but I also would like to talk to him and, um, I don't know how that works, I don't know when it happens and when it doesn't happen, but, um, anyway, I wish you well today and, um, yeah, reach out to someone that maybe you know that this has happened to, um that has lost a parent or a loved one, and just send them a kind text or email or a call or a visit in person.
Kelley Cole:If you're able to visit in person, just share some love today and let someone know that you're thinking about them. Just that little tiny hey, I'm thinking about you today is the most ginormous text or whatever that you could give. It'll bring such a smile to someone's face. So, if you do, if you know someone, reach out with a kind word and I hope you have a lovely day. We will talk to you soon, kelly, with g as italian kitchen.
