Forever Missing You!




14 years ago today you died…

For 15 months you bravely fought for your life. Enduring months of chemotherapy and a very painful Bone Marrow Transplant.

And though it all, you held onto hope.

I watched you lose your hair. I watched your 200lb frame drop to an alarming 150lbs. I watched as you held Stephanie Jo, kissing her baby head and telling her how much you would always Love her… I Cried…

And I held onto my secret.

I wanted to tell you more than you could know. But what should have brought you joy, would have only brought you pain.

You trusted me when you told me you were out of remission to hold your secret. I told no one…

10 days later you were gone. And part of me went with you -

The only thing I remember about your funeral is holding onto my stomach and wishing I had told you about my pregnancy.

Forgive me!

I didn’t want to see you cry for a Grandbaby you would never hold.

And the hardest thing is – I still cry when I talk about you.

You said that time heals all wounds… You must not have meant a broken heart…

I Love you Dad!

And I miss you…


BJ~

I understand. I was with my Dad when he passed on. I told him it was okay to go and he immediately passed away. I wanted to bring back those words, but I knew it was for the best. He had suffered way too long, too. It has been 11 years and I miss him much. My Mom died 31 years ago and I really miss her. I would love to just sit and talk to the both of them. (((Hugs))) Annie

Sharon and I were just talking in the other room wondering if it was natural after 14 years to think about him, and cry this much. We were watching Hamlet last night, and I had to think of what Claudius said to Hamlet about the passing of man. That it is natural to lose your Father, like he lost his Father before him, and his Fathers Father. To End the mourning and embrace happier times. Sharon doesn't have either of her parents left, and even tho Mom is still alive, most of the time I feel that way too. I'm just glad that the family that I do have, Sharon and the Babies, George and Alicia, and of course My Sister and Brother, are so supportive and nurturing. I Love You Sis

No the pain never goes away; we just learn to cope with it a little better. I still miss my dad and think of him daily. I can still see him around the farm and coming through my front door. Even though he is physically gone, his spirit will live on as long as I breathe.

Teary-eyed here, too. It made me walk over and pick up my own Dad's picture.
