I was quite happy to go home, it was so hectic in there. <br />There were several events I went to this year that my Dad would've enjoyed and gone with me (he passed away Dec 2016) It made me sad, I shed a few tears on my return home, but I also remembered the fun of past years with him. As sad as it is, it is the circle of life, as they say.
