Father's Day


On this day Father's Day means something different. I have always taken for granted that my daddy would always be there even when "I" got old and grey. Well I am not old or grey. I am sure I still have at least 50 more years to live. Those years will be filled with a hole in my heart only my Daddy can fill. My dad lost his battle with cancer yesterday. He was with me when I took my first breath and I was there when took his last. He was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer on May 15, 2011. No that's not a typo. He was diagnosed a month ago. His doctors think it started in his colon and spread throughout his main organs to his liver, kidneys, stomach and gastrointestinal tract. He passed with all 3 of his kids and all 6 of his grandkids at 2:30 yesterday afternoon. His death comes way too soon as he was only 63.
I will miss you deeply everyday, Happy Father's Day!

My heart breaks for you Staci - I can't imagine the pain. I'll be thinking of you and the rest of your family, and praying for peace. No words can truly help, but just know that you are loved and prayed up.
