Miss you !

Forever in our hearts.......

I can honestly say this has been the longest summer of my life. It was draining both emotionally and physically. Which, I hopefully explains the lack of my blogging. At the beginning of June Dad's health started failing. We were told to "prepare" ourselves for time was limited. How do you prepare yourself? How do you watch a loved one slip away? Every moment of every day was consumed with thoughts of Dad. We knew he was fighting a losing cause. His body was tired and wearing out, but his mind was still sharp. That we were thankful for. He enjoyed having family around him, telling stories that would create these great big belly laughs. I was able to spend Father's Day with him along with the rest of my family. Dad was in great spirits and relished in having the whole family with him on HIS day! Dad would have great days and we would all rejoice, but bad days would sometimes follow. Heaven became a little sweeter on August 3rd....but my world crumbled. I am grateful for His peace and know that Dad did not suffer. I am also positive we now have our very own, one of a kind ....."Guardian Angel".
