I have to laugh! Your parents and mine might get along well! My dad would say, "You know I won't be here forever except in your heart."

Kim, you always share such wonderful spirit and lovely words that I sometimes feel guilty for being self-indulgent on this blog Thank you for always being there just when you are needed the most.

Thank you, Rich and I know being so far away from home, it has to be even tougher for you.

I do not know about your parents, but mine would say, "Don't go making a mountain out of molehill!"

I understand your fear. I live withit everyday.

I will miss my dad so much when he leaves. I know it's in the not so distant future now. My mine has come to terms with it, but my heart still aches at the thought of it.
But, he taught me well, and life will go on, that is the way of the world. You must be strong for them. So they will know that they have done a great job with their time here.

Holley, having lost my parents way too young, I have to agree with Alex, that they are always with you, just not in the same way. Your worry about the surgery just shows what incredible love you have for your Dad. What a treasure that is. I will be praying for your family in the weeks ahead.

By the way, thank you for baring your heart to us. It's how we know each other better. Your writing is always an inspiration to me.

Holley...You speak the very same words that your parents likely once spoke of YOU! "What IF?" Yes, and all the crap that COULD have happened as a teenager to you - didn't! So now you ARE here for them ... to simply love them and appreciate them. That is what they want most and you give that freely.

Simple things like genuine love mean the most. Your dad will always LIVE in your heart, regardless of the rest. My dad has been gone for nearly two decades now, still one of the greatest men who ever lived, and he IS alive in my heart every day. He left a legacy of pride that I always treasure, is always alive.

Warm thoughts sent your way today! It's ALL good!

Beautiful post of love Holley. It's been an experience in and of itself to see my parents grow up right before my very eyes and to realize I love them more now than I ever did as a child because as a child I had not a clue what they were 'giving' me to grow and be who I am today. Your parents are so blessed to have you as their daughter and champion! Prayers and warm thoughts for good health.
