Today is the Day...

I woke up on Thursday morning with only one thought going through my head - stuck in a loop - "Today is the day we bury my Dad." It really hit me hard that morning and it was difficult to get out of bed.

Tuesday morning was just like any other morning. I had no idea it was the day my Dad would breath his last breath. I woke up early and went to the gym. I got ready for work and was sitting at my desk when the phone rang and Sheila gently gave me the news that Daddy Ken had been taking a shower and died suddenly.

Today is the day I continue to realize my Dad is gone. He told Ginger to "miss him - but go on with your life." Today is Sunday and I will go to church and go on with life, but I will truly miss my Dad! Dad and Mom's blog.

We will all miss him. I don't want to know how hard it is for you & Cindy for many years to come...so keep getting up and going to the gym and loving life. I'll be praying for you.

I agree with Staci. Keepin on with getting up, going to the gym and loving life is a tribute to your Dad--a demonstration of the endurance and tenacity he taught you. So sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss. This just happened to me a few months ago, but I don't have any words to share. I can only tell you that you and your family are loved and we support you with whatever feelings you are experiencing right now.

Today was my first day back to work & it was hard. It's so hard to go on w/life when you miss someone so very much & everything you see brings back memories...even when the person you miss so much has told you to go on.
