I'm currently running on about 4 hours of sleep and although I can't find the words, I need to work something up just to release some of these feelings. Today we woke up and sent my dad on his way with his new chapter. Although I knew it as coming, the day has been nothing but tragic. And yes, I am using the word tragic because it's the best way for me to describe it. I miss him already and knowing that although he'll be back to visit in a few short months, it doesn't seem to be good enough for me. BUT THEN... I read my post below about my grandpa and I'm nothing but grateful that I do still have my dad and that I will see him again and soon enough he will be home. I know that my heart isn't the only one hurting, this is affecting our entire family. Now is the time that we need each other most and it really is funny how we've all become closer just over the past few weeks. I'd also say that with this experience we're all closer to our Heavenly Father and that is such a blessing for us all.
Going to the airport to send him off was harder than I thought it would be. I think the pictures explain it all...
Good Luck Dad, I am proud of you!

ReplyDeleteWell, the tears began to pour down my face as I read this post and saw the pictures. I love your dad so much....well both your parents. I am so glad your family has gotten closer (not like you needed too. Your already close enough :-)) But I am happy to hear that you are all closer to your Heavenly Father. You will all need him during this time in your lives. Great pictures. They totally captured what your family is going through. Love you all.
