This has been the most rollercoaster ten days I can remember. From the news that dad was going on Hospice with weeks to three months left to being gone four days later to all the arrangements to the things that werent perfect that had to be fixed. In the end today was perfect, an incredibly honorable way for a great man like the Sarge's life to be celebrated. In this ten days I was really able to work on building my relationship with my sister which was great. I am so grateful she has been here this past week because I could not have done everything that needed to be done without her.
I an so greatful to all the wonderful folks who have showm me and my family so much love this pask week, words will never describe how much it has helped.
I guess there isnt really anything left to say about this, so I think it would be right to let a hymn close out todays post
That's what family is all about... Holding each other through the tough times as well as the triumphs. Your Dad was an incredible man, and I know he was so proud of you and the man you've become.

Those rounds made me jump, too! I wasn't expecting it then; had planned on videoing TAPS and wasn't ready for it, so I only managed to record the last few bars of the song and bugler:( Amazing Grace is a song that popped in my head during the service...I wanted to sing it! Dick has already requested it be sung at his service.
ReplyDeleteYour family is well loved. Hold on to those thoughts. Big hugs, honey...
You all are loved. Each an every one of you because tiny pieces of your dad are part of you! wrap yourself in the love from all around. It will help get you through this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteBig hugs, dear Chuck...
sending hugs and prayers your way. In some way you went threw the easy part. The hard part is getting back to day to day without him there.
