I didn't. I didn't know I could do such a thing."<br /><br />This is only one piece that stuck out to me. There were so many. Reading this today has filled my heart in the way that I needed.

I, of course, asked where Dad was, and my Mom told me he had died in an accident. I said okay, went back to bed, and threw up.<br /><br />Still seems like the appropriate response.<br /><br />This post is beautiful. I keep reading it and loving it.

I was fortunate enough to see him in February, when he was still doing relatively well, after many months of very serious post-surgery health issues). It brings enormous comfort to me to know that my dad lives on . . . and so does yours.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16917139752555698353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-9237206139478045962012-09-14T11:57:41.502-07:002012-09-14T11:57:41.502-07:00This post just arrived in my inbox.
