Hi everyone, I am back at home now. My yard is in bloom, the grass needs cutting, the weeds pulled and it's a reminder to me that life and time wait for no one. Some of you are aware that my father has recently passed away, what was supposed to be a simple hip surgery escalated into our worst nightmare. I now know how it feels to lose a parent,,,I don't think you have any idea until it happens to you, there is such a feeling of loss...maybe because it was so unexpected...we are not certain why he was taken from this world, but we do have peace in the fact that the intensive care unit nurses treated him with such wonderful care. We also are blessed in the knowledge that he is now in a better place. I don't think he will think the food is as good in heaven as my mothers! lol. My Dad was a farmer and he was 74. He worked on the land until the very end...how many people really get to do what they love to do. Our community was so supportive and we had a chance to reminisce about his life with alot of family and friends. We heard lots of stories we had not known before. I will treasure them, as I will treasure every moment I had with my Dad. I stayed with my mom for about 14 days and she has now gone to my other sisters. She is stronger than she knows! I guess we all are as each day we carry on, forward as we are meant to. My Dads dog was heartbroken, I took him daily for his runs...he was my connection to my dad. His spirit seems to have perked up some but I know he misses my Dad too. Hopefully our family can stay strong and remember the bonds that tie us all together. So I am okay, somewhat troubled and overwhelmed by the events since may 30. I hope we can all find peace and faith when we need it.
On to happier thoughts, I have missed you all and will be in touch with all very soon. Take Care for now! cinner!

ReplyDeleteSince you left that note on my blog, you have never left my thoughts. I understand as I have walked this walk. And, we are happy you are back and ready to listen to your stories.
Blessings and Peace Be Upon You, My Friend. Welcome home.
Thanks Holly, I am glad to be back, he had a sore hip and he was scheduled to see a specialist on the Monday,,,,but he died Saturday....they are not sure what went wrong, maybe his kidneys, naybe a perferated bowel, maybe,maybe, maybe. The hospital requested an autopsy so they could find out what went wrong, maybe I will feel more closure when that happens! Thanks for being here for me, I did think of you everyday too....Your always the start of my day! SO today is a better day!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're back and I'm so sorry about your dad...
ReplyDeleteI hope they can figure out what went wrong...
and you know, he's looking down at you right now with a smile on his face and thanking you for all you've done these past couple of weeks !!
My heart is with you as I have lost both of my parents. I've been thinking of you.

Thanks Ribbon, I am sorry to hear about your parents....today my husband bought me a pressure washer, I think he is trying to keep me busy. Be by to visit you soon. Take care, cinner
ReplyDeleteTo have had a father who you loved and loved you is a gift itself. I had neither and it contributed to many of the issues I've dealt with. I did not feel good about this when I first read your post about going home, but I have trouble with being the bearer of bad news and did not want to say anything negative for fear it would contribute to your own. I am sincerely sorry for your loss Cin.

Dennis, thankyou, yes I was lucky to have a Dad I loved and who loved me. When I phoned to get a flight home, there was a seat sale but the date was the following Monday....I knew I had to go and was glad I did because he did recognize my sister and I.Thanks Dennis for your kind words....I do have a question for you, how would you interpret finding four feathers in a shed that was locked all winter!
ReplyDeleteKathie, thankyou. I did my very first collage.scrapbooking for my Dads funeral. It went over really well.///so I think I may be hooked now. Thanks for your kind words kathie, I will be back to visit soon. THanks.Take care
ReplyDeleteMy Woman!!! So glad you're back, to a blooming yard ... I've thought & thought about your Dad. I love knowing he was a farmer, as was my beloved beloved Grandpa Andy ... I can see the two of them putting their heads together now, talking about crops and weather and new machinery vs. old and tractors and ... my grandpa would take your dad to A&W for onion rings and a malt ...
