Thought I was doing okay with all that has happened. My husband's Dad died 4/18/07 unexpectedly. He & his Dad were best friends & always talked to each other everyday.
We live right behind them, & they're Mom & Dad to me. I know what my what my husband is going through, both my parents are gone. I'm trying to keep all together for everyone. I have been walking & keeping hydrated but the stress is taking a toll on me. We are going to miss him, he always brought over the morning paper. We are a close knit family, my boys have always helped Gramps & Gramma first. Which I wouldn't have it any other way. I have taken over supper for Mom to have. She has been eating cereal & soup only, I know she has always cooked & right now it's hard to cook.
She told me coming home the day Dad died, to wake her up from the dream. I cried with her & said Mom it isn't a dream. She said that he was the love of her life & what was she going to do without him. They were married for 51 yrs. & 4 days. I said we would take it 1 minute, 1 hour, & 1 day at a time, he is still with us in our hearts. Love knows no ending, no goodbyes, it's always with us.
Mom had a Celebration of Life for Dad. He was an Elk Member & wanted everyone to go the lodge, to enjoy a drink from him. All the grandsons together made a toast to him.
I will get through this, have another appointment to see the Dr. to make sure I don"t have an infection. Been having elevated pain levels. Sometimes it's like Erma Bombeck said. If life is like a bowl of cherries, then what am I doing here in the pits?
I know our loved ones come to us in dreams to help us through.:angel: God is with me daily & I ask him to guide us, bless us, take good care of Dad.:pray:
