You Are Never Ready

Update on my dad...

We scurried and found a suitable rehab facility, got him settled (he had the best set up room in the place, thanks to Matthew & I;), watched Detroit get into the World Series and on Saturday, October 27 @ 8:30 a.m. he just couldn't fight anymore...  You wonder how you will react when you get that call, what will it feel like - you simply can't prepare for this moment.  For me, this was extremely difficult, I had been given a false sense of hope because he was improving and I really thought he was going to get strong enough to go home, unfortunately, his body just couldn't keep fighting.  I will be forever grateful for the last month of time I had with him, but there is never enough time and you are never ready to say good-bye.

I am in awe at the support I have received over the several weeks - there are too many people to mention, but it is safe to say that I have never felt more supported, loved and thankful for so many generous family & friends.  The last photo I took of my dad was the first day he was able to sit up in the wheelchair and I could take him outside - I love you dad and a day will not go by that I won't think about I lucky I am to be your daughter.
