Well you know me I cried reading your Words. I wonder all the time about death, and dealing with death. What is best? (in our blurred vision of the big picture) Sudden or suffering a long time. I know my grandmother suffered in a nursing home for years, and we were so ready for her to go to heaven and live!!! I know same with your dad. Dad was LIVING!…I thought Dad had a good 10 years!!!…little did I know. Suffering or Sudden you miss them the same I think. It is such a loss. I think our Moms have handled it differently. Your Mom had taken care of your Dad for years, Dad had taken care of Mom for years. I guess through all situations you deal with it through God's grace.
Deb, so glad I can call you sis, even tho we're not related, but consider you as a good friend. Reading your blogs brought back some good memories of my own. My father passed away 3 yrs ago, and we knew it was coming, but I had just got back from Iraq, when my sister called. He's up there too looking down on me. Thanks for being a blessing in my life Deb.
I read your post, you didn't report on the results of the nuke test.
I feel you pain about the caffeine. I went 5 days in Africa and when I got that first coke it was the best thing ever. However, I didnt feel the effect of no caffeine after the first day. Anyway caffeine is a pretty generic addiction!!!.
