So many things to say and no words to say them. Today we held the memorial service for my dad. Memorial service because his wish was to be cremated so there was no body or casket. Anyway, the service went really well. It was full of stories from different family members, friends, and church members...some inspired tears while others created a rumble of laughter throughout the church. It was really very nice to hear all those things and the feelings different people had about my dad. I knew he was special to me, but then daddies always are to their only daughters. After listening today tho, I realized he was special to a lot of people. I know that he is in a much better place and is no longer having any pain like he experience with the lung cancer that had spread to his bones. It just all went so fast that I haven't really had a chance to stop being nurse and just be daughter and grieve the loss of my daddy. It will come in time I know, and I know that I have wonderful friends who will help me anytime I need it. We found out on October 11 he had cancer and on November 22 he was gone...It was a lot to deal with in a very short time...So thank you to those of you who have been here and supported me through this...Your kind words, your tokens of friendship and the fact that you all have taken the time to do some small things to reach out to me means more than any words I have to express it. You all are great and it makes each day easier to get through....Thank you again..Love to you all...
