Wow. Well I said I would try to post every few weeks, but you know how that goes. We went to the Bahamas end of March which was awesome for the first couple days. My dad passed away on Saturday, March 31, 2007, 3 days into the trip. I saw him on that Tuesday before we left. He had a modified hip replacement 3 weeks earlier because the cancer had caused a fracture and he was in so much pain, he couldn't sit up or move his left leg. He seemed to feel better after, but was still having the recovery issues from that surgery AND battling cancer. When I saw him, my mom and sister said he had been up all day and was really tired. I tried to help him get up to go to bed, but couldn't. I felt really bad, but I didn't know he would not be there when I got back. He was such a fighter. His attitude was positive til the very end.
I am still shocked that he is gone.
I am still sad I wasn't there.
I am still getting over the fact that the next time I saw him was at his funeral.
I still can't believe when I go to Redford, he isn't there.
I miss him quite terribly.
I love you Dad.
