Truly, Thank You All So Much!

My dear friends,
Thank you all so much for the kind words and advice you've given me during one of the hardest times for me in my life. I've been back to work since last week & slowly but surely healing the emptiness that was in my heart. Obviously, some days have been better than others but I'm trying to focus on all the good times I had with Dad and how much he still means the world to me. His physical form maybe gone, but truthfully, I still feel he's around me no matter what. If anything, I've had a couple of blessings occur in my life that I truly believe is thanks to my new Guardian Angel.
I was very fortunate to be with him during his last moments. Friday, December 21st, I had found out hospice was getting set up at my parents due to the dact his cancer had taken so a hold on his body tgat the doctors had given him 2 to 3 weeks. I went to go see him the next day and for the first time in months, he was finally sleeping really good. I would remember how the cancer had hurt him so much that he barely got an hour of sleep every night, and listening to his peaceful breathing as I watched him slumber was truly reassuring to me. However, as tge day progressed, my mother, my sister & I started to worry about the fact he hadn't awaken, thus we called the hospice nurse to check everything. As mom & sis stepped into another room, the nurse took his vitals, and that's when we knew...
We gathered around Dad, holding his hand as we held each other & said our final good-byes. His breathing wasn't labored, his face peaceful with no pain in his expression. It was truly a blessing he passed away as peacefully as he did, since I know others with lung cancer who weren't as fortunate.
It's taken me a while to heal but my Dad fought with evety bit of strength he had and held on for as long as he could for us. I know he wouldn't have wanted me to just wallow in mourning for him, but to continue living my life to the fullest and enjoying the things we had fun doing together, regardless if he's not there anymore.
My friends, hold your parents tight & tell them you love them. Your parents are human, and though they may not be perfect and make mistakes, they're still your parents. Cherish the time you have with them, because life is tragically so short and unexpected.
I love you, Dad. I will always be your baby girl & "#1 Buddy"!
