I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. Cancer is a horrible thing to deal with.
Gia is too cute. It really is amazing how they know when something is up.

Thank you so much, Kay! (((Kay)))

Yeah, 63 years. My Mom is lost without him. Even though they've lived with us for a long time, our company doesn't take the place of my Dad. She doesn't know what to do with herself. Everything has been so busy, so that kept it from really hitting her until these last few days. I feel so bad for her.

I keep trying to trudge along, keep things going, etc. I get so side tracked now. :/ My Dad was our rock. I know he'd want us to keep going, so that keeps me from shutting down. We have good days, and bad days. He was just so sick at the end. I know he's happier with God, no pain, no suffering. I held his hand as he passed. My Mom not having her sight was a blessing during that time. Sounds crazy, but I know she couldn't have dealt with that mental picture. She's so fragile herself. Sigh. We will all get through, Lord willing. Thank you again, Kay! xxxxx

Yeah, it's very scary. You start imaging all the worst possible scenarios. :/ Thank goodness she was okay.

It's been a very rough last few years, and even harder last few months. But we'll get through it. My Dad would want me to stay strong for the rest of the family. I'm sure during our phone convos you heard "Pop" in the background a few times. He was such an awesome Man! Some days I ask why, then remind myself that God has a reason for everything. It will just take time. I don't think we will ever stop missing him. :/

Yeah, Gia was the most stressed, I think. She doesn't do well with so many in and out of the house. Lex & Chance both came down with tummy trouble the day after my Dad passed. Thank goodness I have Meds here. Sick pups was the last thing I needed added. It was all just so crazy and emotional. Sigh. We will be okay. Thank you again, Kitty! xxx

Yes, cancer is terrible. My Dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer 2 years ago. Because of his age, he was unable to take any kind of treatment. Many times the treatment just makes you very ill for what lil time you have left. :/ He did pretty good until a few months back. I could tell he was starting to really feel the pain. I took him to the ER, at that time they confirmed that it had spread to his liver, kidneys and bones. When it gets in the bone it really becomes debilitating. He didn't want to live that way. He was a very independent and active Man all his life. We didn't want to let go, but he's in a much better place now. I will always miss my Daddy. I admired and loved him for so many reasons. Thank you again, Nicole! xxx

Yeah, the lil boogers knew something was terribly wrong. :/ Bless their lil hearts. They adored their Pappa and he adored them.

It's so sad that the treatment can hurt just as much as the disease itself. It is a very, very hard thing to watch someone go through... Again, I'm so sorry.

I'll be thinking of you and your little ones.
