My Father Who Art in Heaven

I just want to make a quick personal post.....so if you're not into personal, stop reading now.  On this day in 1975, I lost my father.  He had his first heart attack when he was only 37....and died of heart failure just one week prior to his 46th birthday.  It was a pretty gruesome week prior to his passing and the years between 37 and 45 were really hard.  He was very ill and we went everywhere to seek help.  My life in those years consisted of my days in hospitals, clinics and doctor offices...all hoping for a chance to make him better.

I miss him so so much....and I feel his presence each day.

I was a young single girl and it made quite an impression on me.....about taking care of your body and spirit and knowing straight on the fragility of life.  I'm not going to dwell on that right here, right now....I just want to honor my dad today and just tell him...I LOVE YOU DAD...I know you're with me night and day....stay with me because I need you so so much....
