As you all probably know, my wonderful father passed away on June 21st. I wanted to say a very special "THANK YOU" to the caring, kind and extremely thoughtful bloggers who sent my mother and I flowers and cards. In our time of incredible depression, the love that you all showed us was beautiful. It has taken me a few weeks to be able to do anything constructive. We really didn't expect my daddy to die. We knew that the cancer had spread, but we always had that hope in our hearts. We thought that some form of medicine would work. On Friday June 20th, my father's lung had collapsed and and ambulance rushed him to the ER. Mama and I both watched him stuggle to breathe...he had been having a lot of trouble breathing the week prior to his passing. He had to have his oxygen on 6. Daddy refused to be incubated. He was then placed in the ICU and they put an oxygen mask on him. At 3:24am on June 21st, the life crept out of my fantastic, funny, honest, polite, extremely handsome, brave and incredibly strong father. Mama and I were there to watch him die.
I don't feel sorry or scared that he's gone because I know that daddy is with our Lord and Savior. He is at peace, finally and is in no more pain. I can't wait for the day that our spirits will be together in Heaven. Even though I miss my father, I know he is very close to me. I'm so happy and relieved that he is in a much better world. He deserves to be taken care of now by God.
I love you daddy!!!!!! Mama loves you SOOO much too. You were the absolute BEST husband and father two gals could've ever had. You were a beautiful man. An absolute wonder of a human being. Don't worry daddy, any asshole that ever tries to get with mommy, I'm gonna kick his butt into next week. I'll use my ninja moves on him, lol!
Love you more than life itself!!!!
