12 years ago today. I spent the day with my father. He was going to be leaving the Cleveland Clinic to a step down unit where he would be for about a day or 2 and then HOME! We had such a nice time together. It’s was just him and I. Which usually someone else was usually there.
We talked I combed his still very thick beautiful hair he wasn’t thrilled about his lunch tray. But he got a chocolate chip cookie and I thought well at least he would eat that. But instead he said
Leave it for : My Boy : that was Blake.
That was his boy. The relationship they shared was like No other. It was a very special bond. I am So very Thankful that he and My Son had that. I Thank God every day. Because I didn’t get to Thank him……,
Right before I left. As I was walking out the door I turned around ……I also Thank God for that My Dad and I shared a To myself Heartfelt Moment as I walked back over to Him and said to him it’s okay Dad. For years after that those last minutes with him before I left helped me with my unbearable pain.
So to the Wonderful Man I was Blessed to have been able to call my Dad : Pappy :
Thank you for Everything you Did and gave to me in my life. All your sacrifices and love. I Miss you Everyday and I know you are near me. : The Birds :
Love your little girl. Laura Donna.
