Already Missing You

8.24.07: Already Missing You, Dad


First, I want to thank all of you who kept my family in your prayers. All of us, Dad included, appreciated them, the good thoughts, and kind messages.

He passed August 23, 2007, at 3:30 p.m., peacefully in his sleep. He fought so hard for so long (since November 2006 when the first stage 3 tumor was found), and even the morning before he passed, he was trying to get out of bed. His body gave out before his mind and heart gave up.

He and Mom would have celebrated their 54th wedding anniversary this December. His last words were to take care of her, and she was holding his hand when he passed.

9.7.07: The haze is slowly starting to fade, and I'm getting back into what my *normal* everyday life was before last November. Mom still has some health issues, but she's doing very well. I'm looking forward to finishing some of the projects which were ignored, and having some new stories out soon.
