It was one month ago yesterday since my Dad passed away. Still so very hard to believe!! I remember sitting in the doctors office on October 10th and Dr. Kahn saying...I am sorry Milton, you have cancer. I will never forget it. The next 16 days were very emotional...talking about what weve done during Dads life and the what ifs. Dad didnt like being cold and wished it was spring instead of winter. Dont know that it really sank in until the 16th when Dr. Nair told us how severe the stomach cancer was and that it had spread to his liver and lymph nodes and that he probably had 2-3 months to live...NEVER expecting that we would lose him just 10 days later. The phone call that Sunday morning, making phone calls to family and the days that followed planning his prayer service, funeral, cleaning his apartment and all of the paperwork are all a blur and seem like years ago. Its been a tough year...we lost John (Marks Dad) on October 26, 2013, Dorothy (Marks Mom) on January 7th, my uncle Dean on October 25th and my Dad exactly one year after Marks Dad on the 26th. Today was the first holiday without Dad and it was a tough day.....no tan pickup sitting by the garage at Jason and Taras when we got there and no Dad to share the day with. I miss Dad like crazy, but I have to remember that he is now pain free...no more stomach pains, no trouble breathing, no knee pain...like Tarson said....he can run free in Heaven!! LOVE AND MISS YOU DAD!! Thankful for family and friends today. Dont know what I would do without all of you. Hugs!! ^^^^^8^^^^^
