Oh, I'm done for now. See you all on Thursday. I don't think that I'll be able to come online tomorrow or on wednasday. Sleep well and have sweet dreams you all for tomorrow and Wednesday.

Unky out.

But, he truly is my inspiration in all areas of life... and I can honestly say that I do not have a single bad memory of him.

Thank you for sharing! We are never ready to let them go but you are so young to have to deal with this so early. I can tell by your posts you are a strong person and will be fine. I know your dad was proud of you and knew you would be okay. Tough times, especially near a Holiday. My sis-n-law lost her mother Christmas Day and my sister lost her son the day before Christmas Eve! They do both try to still celebrate with joy the birth of the Lord and to celebrate the lives of their loved ones but it does sort of wreck the Holiday Spirit.

My dad had never been ill a day in his life except for a cold here and there, he had been at my house, left laughing, called me, chatted a bit, I got a call some 30 minutes later, he was on his way to the hospital, had emergency surgery, was on a vent, gone in 22 days!

To be able to say you do not have a single bad memory of him is remarkable and a testimony to both your lives!

Goodness, I won't go on... guess my heart is just so full today of the love being poured out here in the park today! I think it is nice though to get a glimpse into each other's personal lives from time to time. Again, thank you HC, for sharing!

Not to mention, the "best work" you do at nights... tee hee

Wow... that's... unreal. Dad was sick with Cancer for 14 months... we knew it was coming. I can't imagine not knowing

We all need a hug every now and again, don't we! :) Glad the park is such a happy place... now, no tree hugging though... that would be a little too far...

You must be one strong person!! Little sisters sure need those to look up to. I know that was a lot for you to deal with but I am thankful that your sister has you. I am sorry for your loss Unky!! Life can sure deal us some hard blows but here you are, sharing love and joy with so many! I admire you for that! You have a very sweet spirit about you! :p

ISneezeFunny · Jul 28, 2008, 10:26 AM

I'm so sorry for everyone going through such hardships... I must be fortunate as I never had to deal with any deaths in the family... plenty among friends, but none in the family. I know it'll come one day... but it's just one of those things you never wish will happen.. . like finding out that the santa at the mall isn't really santa... but your chinese food delivery guy, trying to make a buck over the holidays.

HistorianChick · Jul 28, 2008, 10:29 AM

It makes things that you once thought of as "cheesy" very meaningful and precious. Never again will I take advantage of those that I love. Not that I ever took advantage of my Dad, but you know... there were times that I should have stayed home rather than go out with friends... should have let him hold my hand... you know... teen girl embarrassment stuff.

I had the best parents ever... I can't complain. :)

Alty · Jul 28, 2008, 12:24 PM

HC, I feel the same way about my parents. Losing them was the hardest thing I ever went through. I was 30 when they died, I've told the story a few times already, they both died of cancer, Dad died first Jan 12, 2001, and then Mom on July 30, 2001.

It's been 7 years and I still think about them every day, especially when one of the kids does something new, I always wish they could be here to see it. We got together all the time, talked every day, we had a wonderful relationship. It still pains me that they never got to see Jared grow up, they never even met Sydney, it's hard.

We all go through tragedy, and we're all made stronger because of it, the key is to keep the good memories in your heart, share them with others, that way your loved ones will live on forever. :)

ISneezeFunny · Jul 28, 2008, 12:34 PM

careful hc... we don't want more text messages from random angry exes.

HistorianChick · Jul 28, 2008, 12:35 PM

Touche'...

This'll show 'em...

Alty · Jul 28, 2008, 12:36 PM

Okay, you two lost me, I'm confused. ;)

HC, I adore you too. :)

HistorianChick · Jul 28, 2008, 12:37 PM

S'ok... we're easily lost...

Own little world, party of two...

:D

ISneezeFunny · Jul 28, 2008, 12:37 PM

long story short.

hc wrote something that was open to the general public. Random ex's friend got ahold of it. Sent me angry messages.

... and now hc and I are apparently spending nights together.

... too much?
