My father was a good man, he was an honest, caring, loving, funny, kooky kind of man that would give you the shirt off his back if you were cold. My dad was a man that wasn't out of the way, a man who kept his word and loved his friends as much as he loved me. My dad believed in people and cared for so many. My dad was my best friend.
He suffered so much over the last 10 days that I don't even want to talk about it. think about it or even remember it. I want to remember him the way he was before all this started
I want to remember him on St. Patrick's day having a pint with me and the boys, the gang and the regulars at Hurley's
I will remember him when I look in the mirror and everyday. I will remember him silly-
and I will remember him this way
I love my dad. Rest now and watch over us.
Hello. I have been reading your blog and I just wanted to say how sorry I am that you had to lose your dad like this. Your posts moved me and your story is a reminder that our time here with the people we love is finite and unpredictable. We must make an effort to enjoy each day.

Thank you Lennie,
ReplyDeleteI didn't think that any other people besides my friends were reading. Thank you for your kind words. I am glad that there is a prespective to learn from and that if you realize that time is short and life is unpredictable you must- tell the people you love that you love them ALL the time. Tell them that they mean the world to you and there will be no regrets. I was fortunate enough to have a relationship with my dad un-like any other, and I told him as much as I could. I know he knew how much I loved him.
I wish for you and everyone a relationship with loved ones like the one I had with my dad.
once again thanks for your kind words, and I plan on keeping this site.. hope you'll keep following.
:)
