Dads are still holding us tight and keeping us safe even when in Heaven. That thought helps me when I feel like that scared little girl sometimes.<br /><br />Hugs to you always.septembermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01570525910483384484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-68024869335377633012010-11-29T20:29:08.984-06:002010-11-29T20:29:08.984-06:00Aw Vicky.

Everyone has things to remember and say and they must be said.<br />And tears must be shed and they will be shed for a very long time.<br />Trust me. I still miss mine.<br />Some kids run from old people but I always loved them. I never minded anything they said or did because I knew they meant well.<br /><br />Your Mom looks great ! :)A Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-4699025670118370822010-11-29T10:42:56.926-06:002010-11-29T10:42:56.926-06:00Thank goodness that Love remains.

I think of the verse in the Bible that talks about all the gifts and that three remain when the others will pass away..."Faith, Hope and Love...and the greatest of these is love." <br /><br />Both of my parents are gone now and i miss them dearly, but am so thankful that the love they shared is forever in my heart. <br /><br />Blessings.crochet ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04720374771067791687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-15337371000293282942010-11-29T08:40:35.342-06:002010-11-29T08:40:35.342-06:00Sweet post, Vickie.

With my dad's bladder cancer battle, I too will be faced with the same situation. As my dad lives out his days/years, we girls will love him more and more every day. God sure knows how to bring families together in a stronger way.tainterturtleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10307790480251741661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-12342010560036410022010-11-28T18:19:25.673-06:002010-11-28T18:19:25.673-06:00Beatuiful, honest post.

I love the way you describe the balance of wanting to soar but feeling one step away from the tumble! <br /><br />While the sadness of losing your day will be with you for always, it does sound like you are now starting new traditions, new ways of looking at the holiday. And I think that's what life gives us, these new ways of looking at the world when our world is so different.<br /><br />Peace to you!Marion Williams-Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741729110133561984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-40735373029594784372010-11-28T12:34:37.083-06:002010-11-28T12:34:37.083-06:00Vicky, I couldn't read this without crying.......Vicky, I couldn't read this without crying.....and on Thanksgiving Day, I thought of you...and knew that your heart would be heavy.

I think when our parents are ill and vulnerable we begin a process of slow realization that our moments of today may never return to what they once were... its a difficult journey. I will pray for both you and your dad today :) Hugs to you...<br /><br />Heather, and how is your dad these days?

My Dad has been fighting lung cancer for almost a year now, so he and my Mom decided to just have a quiet day. It was hard for me not to be there with them this year and although we talked on the phone, there was still a sense of loneliness for me. I may not be experiencing the same ache as you, but I do in some way know how you are feeling Vicky.<br /><br />I love the truck story! I believe your Dad will always let you know in little ways that he is still with you. <br /><br />Hugs!
