My Hero My Father. I will miss him...

Dad

I have not posted in awhile, I have been with my father during his struggle with his health. I am sorry to say he lost that battle Friday. I know he is in a better place but struggle with that reality. Today is the funeral and I am unable to sleep, hopefully the rain will hold off. He is having a military service, the flag will be handed to me....to ME. I have been at services and watched some on TV when others are handed the flag, I just never thought I would be that someone. I do have a great family who are here with me......

Count Your Blessings

There has been so many times in my life I wanted to have a brother or sister, and maybe now more than ever. My dad has been moved to a nursing home for rehab. It is going to be a long hard road ahead for him. It was dark and snowy as I walked to the car having a long day of sitting at the hospital then the nursing home and feeling exhausted from the stress. I began thinking of that brother or sister that I could have shared this with, we could have talked over dad's care and the days ahead for him. Now I know not every sibling gets along with each other. But at least you might have had the opportunity to try. Being an only child is not all candy and roses..that myth is so wrong! Anyway it was a long lonely drive home.

Time with dad

Hello Prim Friends, I will be busy the next few weeks with my dad. He fractured his hip and had surgery Sat. I closed my Etsy shop and the Kindred Sisters Shop until I get back. This is his 3rd hip replacement. He has been through so much. But he is a stubborn old crow, we were playing cards tonite at the hospital! Then he had to watch the bachelor, one of his favorite shows. He is a big tease with the nurses to. Dad is only 88. God Bless em!
