First I would love to thank everyone for helping me. Things have gotten some better. I am taking it day by day. Thanks again.

Now I know I should put this in personal. But I wanted everyone to know how much I loved my dad. Today he died 2 years ago. I feel like it was just today. The photo is from left to right. Melissa (a really good friend) sitting down is my boss lady (that fell and broke her foot LOL) then me. We had the shirts made up to help raise money to help with my dad.
Thanks again for all the love and support that everyone has given me. I could not have made it through it without all my Cute Family. Hugs and flowers for all. DeVon

DeVon, my parents died many, many years ago, and I miss them still so very much. We never get "over" losing those we love so dearly, but in time, it is the good memories of them that surface more often, than the ones of their illness and declining days. On days I feel down emotionally, I seem to sense my two guardian angels watching over me, giving me uplifting smiles of hope! On days I manage to feel accomplishments, I see them hear them say, "Way to go, girl"! It does get better! Thanks for sharing your story and picture!
Hugs, Angel

Thanks for sharing. My father died over 5 years ago and my brother exactly 2 years afterwards, same day. What was really special was that we found a cousin who we never knew about in Denmark (my dad was Danish) who I was able to visit and she went with my husband and I to the USA to meet my dad. Family is so wonderful. Memories are made and not forgotten!

You must have had a good Daddy. That is a blessing in itself. When I married my husband, he had custody of 3 school age children. Their birth Mother never cared about them. Sometimes, we take everyday blessings for granted. It hurts so much because we LOVE. Been there.

Devon, my Dad has been gone over 10 years now and I still miss him. I remember the good times we shared. I hope you're feeling better.

Devon, I know how you feel, I lost my mom first, she died just a yr. after I lost my husband. Dad died 4 yrs ago and I miss him so much. We were very close, he had Alzheimers and me being the oldest I was the only one he remembered. In alzheimers their oldest memories are the last to go. It's sad but I know you have good memories so think on them/Lillian

That was what my Father had too Lillian. I too have a picture of him next to me every day. Every time Ophelie comes in I point it out to her and she says Puppa - but can't get around the fact that he is Nanna's daddy, she keeps saying My Daddy! Love Chris

Devon, two years is such a short time, no wonder you are still grieving. Maybe someday soon you will be able to remember more of when he was healthy and enjoying life, and less of what it was like at the end. It takes a long time for those wonderful dreams to come, where you are with him, just as if you really were. Someday they will come. Love and hugs, Jan

It's great to see you DeVon, - you're so Y O U N G!!!! It's nice to have young women coming through doing sewing - I'm afraid it's a dying art in Australia. Lots of places are trying to resurrect it, so there is hope. Keep you chin up, we all love you. Love and blessings Chris

P.S. God bless all our Fathers, here and gone.
