I Miss My Dad


I am the oldest of 6 and was happy to have 54 years with my hero. I am having a hard time coming to terms with dads death, November 15,2001. It was so hard around the holidays as we were such a close nit family and I spent 54 Christmas's with Daddy. Our family will never be the same....we lost the "glue" that held us all together. He was my strength, my teacher, the first man I ever loved. My husband always kids me about putting dad on that pedestal. He deserved it....He found out he had prostate cancer 12 years ago and he fought it as long as he could. It wasn't easy and watching the cancer take over was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. Watching a big strong man,,,,turn into a little sick man in a bed was more than my heart could take,,,,we were all with him the night before he died,,,around his bed in our family home. I haven't been doing to good with this,,,,I just miss him so much.
