Hi Casandra,

I pray that all goes well with your husband.  I have been keeping a diary for over 4 yrs now related to my health.  It also helps me write down feelings about my Dad.  It does help in healing to do this.  Like you, my Dad helped me get thru things.  I so miss the phone calls and talks.  And like you, my husband is also feeling the loss.  And that makes me emotional too.

 

Take care and I wish the best for you and your husband.

Debbie

The past couple of months have been really hard on me, especially since I have not only been dealing with the loss of my father but my husband's health issues. My husband is going into surgery for the third time on Monday for the same issue he has experienced since September 2012. I am very worried. One too many surgeries back to back and I pray every day that they figure out what is going on and how to resolve it. 

I am not big on resolutions but for this New Year I decided that I was going to start keeping a diary. I've never liked keeping one before but I figured it'd be a way I could talk to my dad. He has always been the one to help through all the rough times and they just seem even harder without him. Even my husband noticed and even confided that he felt like he had lost his own father when my dad passed because there were so many things they had planned to do together. That definitely made me cry because not many people seemed to have appreciated my father. 

But it has been so long since I was on here and just wanted to update everyone with everything going on. These first holidays without him were extremely hard but I've had a pretty decent support system with a few friends and that helps make all the difference. 

Hope everyone has a fantastic New Year!

Joe,

I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your father. But I am so glad that you and your sister are there for your Mom.  I lost my father on Sept 21, 2012 suddenly.  I can relate to most of what you and your family are going thru.  We had my Dad's vehicle here until it was sold and it was tough seeing it every day then watching it leave.  We had to sell it to settle his estate.  We still have his motorcycle and we may even buy it.  The video was very touching and brought tears to my eyes.  Thank you for sharing.

 

My thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

Debbie

I can't hardly stand to see them killing the mouse when it is still alive, but I guess it was good that Sam brought them to me after they were dead or he might have left them back under furniture where I couldn't get them or didn't know where they were, and then they stink so bad.

My dad would have laughed himself silly too to see a bird chasing a cat.  He would have said the same thing you said your dad would have said.  My dad would love to see all that wild life.  He loved nature and animals.  I don't see a lot of animals where my dad is, but it is the biggest cemetery in our city, so a lot of people come and go and probably scare them away.  They probably come out at night.  You know my cat is actually my dad's cat.  I can't remember if I told you that my dad actually left me two cats - Nugget, the orange one I shared a picture of, and Samson - a gray tabby that I loved so much and was so sad when he died of FIV.  Well, before Samson died, he was a mouser.  A true hunter.  He caught mice every night.  And, my dad got such a laugh out of Samson, because Samson would try to give me the mice.  I would sleep on the couch, and Samson would come and lay dead mice on me, and I would jump up screaming.  Then, Samson would wonder why I didn't take the mice, so he would chase me around the house with it, throwing it up in the air time and time again like he was trying to throw it to me.  Once, he even chased me in the bathroom, and I locked myself in the bathroom for probably a half hour or more, because he was throwing a dead mouse at me.  My dad would laugh and laugh and laugh.  He loved those stories about Samson chasing me with dead mice.  Well, Samson died, and all I have left now is Nugget.  Well, Nugget moused for a few weeks after Samson died, and then I guess he had a moral crisis and went vegetarian (except for tuna).  He not only won't chase mice any more, but one morning my husband got up to get a shower for work, and he yells for me to come to the bathroom.  Nugget is in the bath tub snuggling with a mouse.  My husband was laughing so hard that he couldn't bring himself to kill the mouse.  He picked it up in a paper sack and put it outside, which my dad said meant it just came right back in the next time it got cold.  But, my husband told my dad about that story (my dad was already in assisted living then and his cats were staying here), and my Dad laughed and laughed and laughed.  He said Nugget surely got confused when he left my Dad's house to come and live with me.

jb - my cat goes crazy and even gets mean with us for about half an hour - well, really he is my dad's cat - and then he lays down and goes to sleep for a long time every time he gets catnip.  So, he doesn't do much destructiveness when he gets the catnip, because it doesn't last long and then he zonks out for a long time.  So, we don't give it to him much, because I'm not sure it is settling right with him for him to sleep that much.  I know what you mean about watching stuff with your dad - we used to watch Animal Planet all the time, but I can't watch it now without him.  It just hurts too much to watch it without him.  I'll see if I can some of the cats on catnip videos on youtube.
