Good day---another day--to get things right-- NO MORE CRYING_---NO MORE FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF! Lord love a Duck! There just cannot be any more tears--
So, you read the obituary-??? -written by the kids-- many changes made, ----The kids finally felt it described their Dad---His grown children were very proud of their Dad--as he was , of them--
You know, we had Son#1 , and Fred said-"OK, We have our child"---then, Son#2 came along, and again he told me, "OK--- that is enough children"--but, then a little baby girl appeared , and Fred was ecstatically happy , but, I knew 3 children was enough---- so- we moved from Ottawa to Elliot Lake, and along came Phillip---born at St Joseph's Hospital----but ---- then--- Tim appeared--looking exactly like Fred--
-And you know, Fred absolutely adored all these children---accepted Timmy , proudly---AND--these were the children, who were by his side, holding his hands--helping him to breathe , talking to him, telling them it was OK to go to Heaven--that we would take care of each other, that--We would miss him, but we could live our lives like he would want-us to--
-Hard to send him to Heaven, but we al reassured him that he would never be forgotten--that he was special-- because, he was their Dad--and they loved him to the moon and even back--
This is the man who said, "Are you crazy?" to me , when I told him that we had put an order on his chart , to do what is necessary to keep him alive.
"Now why would anyone , ever , want to do that to a 96 yr old man?"---he asked me.-
Life is so precious------ Hug those near you---They are "special"----They are a part of your life--- Tell them how much you love them--- and try to live each moment of everyday--
I shall try---
