Dad


These last few months have been crazy; we have gone through tornado outbreaks, hail storms, earthquakes, health scares what not, but all hell broke when I lost my father.  Some friends who had lost their fathers, said life is never the same after that. They were absolutely right. Time is a great healer, but do you ever get over this loss? 

I am glad he lived a very active and full life of 85 years, and was happily married for 55 years to my mother. Hope we all live good happy and purposeful lives like he did.

Best wishes.

  1. Hello:
    This is very sad news. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most distressing point in your life.

    Both sets of our parents have now died and it is indeed a very strange feeling, almost as if one is orphaned.Suddenly one becomes acutely aware that those people to whom one turned for wisdom, support and unconditional love are no longer there and the future has to be faced without them.

    Although nothing is or can be the same again, one must take comfort from knowing that your father's life was one that was well lived and enjoyed to the full. For that one can be grateful.

    You have obviously had a most awful time recently.Now you must take care of yourself. Great care!!!!
