In a few hours...
My little family of five will board an airplane
and fly to my Fathers' home,
the town where I rode bikes and horses and went to high school....
and got married...
...and we will join
All of our family and friends ...
to
Say Goodbye
to My Dad.
I am 100% certain that a HUGE part of the strength I feel,
...the ability I have to put one foot, right in front of the other...
has come from you...
...my friends,
many...no, most of whom I have never met,
but whose hearts have lept across the pages and embraced
held me up...
with your words of encouragement and strength,
compassion and understanding
and generous Love.
I will not be posting for a few days.
But I will be back next week..and we can pick up where we left off...
stronger...closer...wiser...
forever changed...
Blessed.
From the bottom of my heart...
Thank You
XO

ReplyDeleteIt was a great feeling when you and your father are attached to each other. I am agree with Rochelle that you have been blessed to have a lovely relationship with your father and I am hoping that I have that kind of relationship with my father too. I'll be coming home this December hoping I could have much time bonding with my father. Thanks for sharing this with us.
