beau, I know you''re a strong woman and you''re also a very together woman, and although I know today had to be hard for you, I''m confident that the love you have for your family- your Dad, your husband and your kids, will give you the added strength you needed to cope. It''s amazing what we are capable of handling and doing even when we think we''re maxxed out. It''s just something about being a woman. We are the caregivers, everyone''s rock, everyone''s problem solver, everyone''s strength and courage during difficult times. Even when we feel like we can''t handle or do anymore, overdrive kicks in and we constantly amaze ourselves. I''m confident that you had a day just like that. It''s the power of love that gets us through.Date: 7/16/2009 12:09:07 PM

Thank you ladies, for the messages of sympathy and your condolences. It''s greatly appreciated, and will hopefully bring me the strength I need to make it through tomorrow at his funeral service. I just NEED to be strong for my kids, my dad LIVED for his only two grandsons. They are taking it pretty hard. Just when I think there are no tears left to flow..I''m shocked that I can fill another cup full!! Thanks again!!

It''s terribly painful to lose a parent that you treasure and love so much, so please be kind to yourself in the days ahead and allow yourself the emotions it takes to transition to a life without your beloved dad. You and your family will be in my daily prayers. Please let us know how you are when you''re up to it.
Monarch, I have no favourite authors. I don't find I have the time to read alot, but when I do (rare), I tend to read books about photography, design/decorating, and home improvement. No, I am not writing an auto-biography, even though it would be an interesting read (boy do I have some interesting stories to tellDate: 7/14/2009 8:55:04 AM

Well, here's what I don't know about you, Beau:
Do you like to read? And, if so, who are your favorite authors/what sort of books do you tend to read? Are you really writing a book of your own, or are you being facetious when you mention the auto-biography?
Favorite movies?
What's the craziest/wildest thing you've ever done?

I''m so sorry to hear about your father. Sending hugs.
Thanks Loriken. I''m just now getting back on my feet, it''s been almost 2 weeks since his passing. A mini-getaway really helped take my mind of things for a few days. Now..back to reality, and tying up loose ends (sending out death certificates and closing).Date: 7/24/2009 12:41:01 PM
