I have been gone for over two weeks being in Vegas assisting the recover of my dad. Really enjoyed myself being with him. I have always been told that I talk a lot, and that I have learned from my father. Some nights staying up until 2AM talking about the past, present, and future.
Many things we talked about I have forgotten, and vice versa. Some of it was a bitter sweet, seeing that my dad has been the only person that was known me all of my life. Wow as he kept saying over and over again "Boy, we have been through a lot, haven't we"? We talked about my old boyfriends, old girlfriends, and just plain friends and family.
Looking through the eyes of an 86 year old man is very sobering and really realizing that life is just mainly filled with memories, that is all we have to hold on to.
Made me appreciate my life and the gifts that the Lord has given me, for that I am truly blessed.
Many times I have just wanted to cry, then I have to think of why? My father is still alive, weak but getting better every day, how incredible that I still have him and am able to sit down and share our memories together. The tears leave quickly with the warmest feeling of calmness comes over me, a peace that I cannot describe.
Well I am home now, trying to catch up on all that has been happening, it snowed last night, just a beautiful powder, 4 inches deep. I promised myself that I am getting out in it today and make a snow angle, I'll try to take a picture of my angel.
Time to get going. Hey everyone, Kim, Vicki, Nona, thanks to the Super Bowl invitations, wish I could be at every one of them. Hope your day is great, and I'll probably write next week to share my SB experience, this should be a great one!
Until then....
