Today the sun came up like it does every day. The bustle of the day started just the same as the day before, people heading to work, kids off to school and the trash truck clanging away. But my world has stopped and time is suspended. Two days ago my dads 17 month fight with cancer ended. He passed peacefully at home as was his wish, with my mother, my daughter, my sister-in-law and myself by his side. Yesterday we did what needed to be done but in a haze. Today I feel like a toddler learning how to walk again. I need to stand without the wobble in my legs and put one foot in front of the other. My dad was so loved by many and our phones and social media was just crazy with memories that others had with him. I am thankful and blessed to be his daughter. Each day is precious and not promised. Make time for those you love. I was able to say my last goodbye and tell him that I loved him, some never have the chance. MAKE THE TIME! don’t hold grudges, forgive!! Most of all LOVE each other.
