I love that you believe you will meet with your Dad in spirit.. he will become a part of each breath you take, and when you feel that happen , you will KNOW more than you could ever imagine... bless you and your family, seems to me you are a very strong soul and the most loving daughter..thank you for sharing your journey.<br />just saying,<br />hugging my angels.. ♥<br />sign me, A.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1290433898412362561.post-39774122993437895822012-05-02T13:27:22.289-04:002012-05-02T13:27:22.289-04:00my dad would do the very same things: eat as much...my dad would do the very same things: eat as much as he could, which was not much or any at all, and would cry, and say he still had to do some stuff--I SWEAR he did ALL those things.

Dr S- you are amazing. Dr S's peeps, yall are awesome. Ive painted my entire life with the war paint you speak of but wrap in gently in love and kindness. My stomp is new and shaky, but as Im learning quickly from all yall, its the not the size of the stomper but the size of the STOMP and mine will be loud! My dad sends thanks and your welcomes to all who sent him well wishes and thanks for his service. My May Day will continue til the end of this journey and will end with a tear that it has ended, but also a smile because of all the things we have and the friends i have made. My journey will never be done until i meet my father again in spirit, but i am proud to travel every step with people like Dr S and company. <br /><br />Dad's journey is getting shorter. He's unable to eat much, but he feeds his stomach with as much nourishment as he can handle and his soul with as many hugs, kisses and touches from us and his grand boys. He cries. And says he still has some things to do. He is unsure of those things, but I know he will figure them out as time goes and we will take care of everything to see he is at peace. He's napping now, which he does most of the time, but i cant wait til he gets up and we can re-read everything that made us feel so good yesterday :) one love one world, yall. and i thank you for being a part of mine. xox.a.alinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1290433898412362561.post-60674423093593015712012-05-02T09:40:19.975-04:002012-05-02T09:40:19.975-04:00OOOOOHHHHH boy , ok ok ok

I know we all have stories of loved ones and how we treated them and how we were treated from friends and family and also people who all of a sudden were friends? Thanks for your loving hands and the precious time you will have for your dad. I had to put my dad in a Nursing home for awhile. When I started to leave he looked at me and I will never forget, he said Dont you think I can go with you. This will always be in my heartache for him. Finally got him moved close to home and could see him anytime. Family and friends would tell you what to do and when to do it but they were never around when you needed them, the same with my dear Mother, thank God we got to keep her home. She lived a good long life. I miss both of them daily even knowing they are in a better place with no pain and no worry. He too was a veteran. God Bless our veterans and their families. Forget about those 15 min. of fame for the wannabees that was mentioned above in the blog. They are not worthy of the print on the page. I watched the CNN with the president and Jimmy Kemmel it was very good in most cases but when they said they had the 2 most beautiful women in the world there I just about got sick. Lindsay Lohan and Kim Kardashian. You gotta be kidding me. Someone surely fell and hit their head to invite them or was it the money.

Enjoyed your comment as much as the blog. Good for you. Funny too, and I always appreciate humor. As for Ali and her Dad. So glad you are doing what your Dad wants. Time is so precious, and endings, though tearful and dreaded… he will always be just one heartbeat away. A lesson I learned from Dr. SES when my heart was breaking, missing someone I loved deeply. I, to this day, repeat that mantra everytime I remember a loved one whose time here is done, and they are gone from my eyesight, but never from my heart.<br />We will send you love and strength Ali. May I add my thanks to Dr SES’s for your fathers service to our country.

What a gracious and loving daughter your are to be there for your Dad and his final wishes. May you find rest to your soul and body and may there be many surrounding your in support in prayer and physical support. As was said, we thank your Dad for his service to our country. Just a little over a year ago I was sitting in your shoes with my Dear Mom. Even though it was the most scary and difficult time of my life the memories of those last days, hours, minutes were some of the best memories. I am grateful that I had that opportunity to be with her at that last breath. To be holding on to her hand and she knowing I was there with her in life and in death. Take care Ali and get rest when you are able. <br />Praying all our friend here have a peaceful May Day and counting your Blessings as you go along. /Sandy♥fluffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00375651410224358464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1290433898412362561.post-77987614921328650082012-05-01T10:43:03.490-04:002012-05-01T10:43:03.490-04:00I did not mean to put that on here twice.
