I am so thankful to still have my Dad. I lost my Mom very unexpectedly seven years ago. The shock of that loss woke me up to the fact that life is precious and can be taken away at any time. My Dad has been there for me during this very difficult time in my life. He sent me cards everyday for the first few months. They were hand written with his words of encouragement. He has called me every day during my illness. Some days I was too sick to talk. I could only say “I love you” and hang up. Even though this is a Father’s Day missive, I have to mention my Step Mom Barbara. She has also been there for me. When they came to take care of me, she cooked me the most delicious food. She even peeled my tomatoes because the tomato skin would block my ostomy. I am so lucky to have them both and can’t wait to see them in person soon. I have posted a very cute picture I took last Oct. when we all went on a very fun trip to the 4 corners region.
