First I want to apologize for being "away" for a while and not giving you guys a head's up. I just wasn't prepared for what life was going to dish out. Last Saturday my heart shattered into a million pieces as my beloved dad passed away. He suffered so much, in constant pain from Parkinson's, osteoporosis, arthritis and whatnot. As I type this, I still can't believe I'm never going to see him again. It all went by so fast, I just can't seem to wrap my mind around it. I try to keep busy, not think about it. But I won't lie to you, it's not easy.
He was a wonderful dad and a loving grandfather and I'm sure he wouldn't want us to be so sad. But I am sad and I will miss him as I have never missed anyone before. I'll get back to blogging in a little while, but for now, I hope you'll understand, my heart's just not into it.

Your description of your dad, of your pain, and the photo you posted all moved me to write a comment... yet I don't know what to say. He looks like he was a wonderful person, and was lucky to have a loving daughter like you.
