My dad past away about 3 weeks ago. He has been fighting cancer for 13 years and it turned into an aggressive strain in November. He deteriorated very fast over the last 3 weeks and it finally got him. It's hard to believe that we'll never see him again. He will be missed dearly...
Something has happened to me since dad died. I've found a renewed faith in people. Everyone has been so kind and generous. It totally caught me off guard. People I haven't seen in a long time just seemed to come out of the woodworks to show their support. One girl at work even took up a collection from our staff to help make up for the time I had off work. It actually made me cry.
I've changed now, I can feel it. I have a brand new respect for people. I can tell you that it feels good to be reminded that people aren't always just out for themselves. It also reminds me that maybe there is more that I can do for others in times of trouble. I think it's important for us all to be reminded of that. We've all had someone help us when we've really needed it. Do you remember how it made you feel? I do, and I will return the favor as often as I can to let others know that they aren't alone in this journey (sometimes battle) of life. Are you feeling down. Go help someone, I guarantee it will make you feel good.
Thanks for another lesson Dad. I don't think I'll ever stop learning from you. I love you!
