My Daddy had recently had heart surgery and called me on my 26th birthday. "I don't feel too good but I don't guess I'll die..." he said. The following day I got the call to fly 2000 miles home cause Daddy was dying. I got there in time to squeeze his hand and tell him I loved him.

I still have my daddy, but I can see him declining and I can totally relate to the not wanting to say goodbye's. All growing up I was back and forth between mama's house and getting to visit daddy...and I don't think there war ever a goodbye leaving daddy's house to go back home to mamsa's that I didn't cry. Heck, I still do! Im going to go visit him in 2 weeks, I know I will cherish it!Lisa Phillippi llelsik@aol.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635890123179993094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889831257197062444.post-75290996531486444072012-06-17T20:07:31.314-05:002012-06-17T20:07:31.314-05:00You know, for some of us, those memories are alway...You know, for some of us, those memories are always tucked tight into our hearts. You never forget them and in the blink of an eye, you have tears in your own eyes like I do now. My Dad was a character. It had been about seven or so months since my Mom had died. My Dad was declining, Alzheimers. He never forgot who I was, as we fought a lot in his later years. Mostly because he had taught me to be as bull headed as he was. With Alzheimers, eventually you lose the ability to do simple things, like swallow, etc. He was in some ghetto ass old age hospital. I walked in with my sister and asked the guy, who looked like Mr. Rogers, who he was and what he was doing. He said he was a speech therapist, which I replied for what, and had him leave. I didn't know that with Alzheimers that they too can have hospice care. They took him out of the hospital and he went back to assisted living. He died within the next 12 hours. I sort of felt responsible in a way for his death, but I knew he wanted to be free and with my Mom! Its funny how certain days trigger those memories!<br /><br />Take care my friend, SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08021965849265965062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889831257197062444.post-39138721476755422092012-06-17T16:16:23.384-05:002012-06-17T16:16:23.384-05:00I miss my dad too.
