Its not very often that i dont have something to say or im at a loss for words, but tonight, during a time that has been so extremely difficult, i have found myself in awe. The pain of losing a parent is new to me and im not quite sure if or how i will ever get over it, but tonight being at the funeral home, i was at peace. To see the love and support of so many people who took time out of their day to give their condolences and to say goodbye to my dad was overwhelming. With every person who came through those doors, my heart grew bigger and bigger. I felt like i could have stayed their all night because while i was there, surrounded by the love of so many people, i felt normal again! The ache in my heart subsided and the emptiness i had been feeling disappeared, if only for a while.-- I hope i got to speak to everyone and i hope everyone knows how much their presence meant to me and how much it would have meant to my dad. --Thank you to everyone who sent flowers and gifts, they were all so beautiful and i will try my best to talk to each of you individually to thank you. --Thank you to everyone who has sent me a message or posted a kind word on here, i have read all of them and seen all the comments even if i didnt respond. Please know tuesday night after all this happened, i sat on the computer reading each message and each comment because it was like therapy for me, to see so many sweet things and to read about so many memories, made that first night bearable for me. So if i havent said it enough, let me say it again, Thank You, Thank you, Thank You!! i love you all and i know my dad did as well!!
