My Dad Died Last Night...

I got a call about 2:30 last night saying my dad was in the hospital, he had a massive heart attack. And they were still working on him, but it didn't look to good.

At 3:20, my brother called me back saying "He's gone". A deafness rang in my ears. I sobbed violently while Aaron held me in his arms until I fell asleep.

I'm so glad I was down there last week. I was able to spend sometime with my dad before he went.

And now? I'm off to Vegas again....

These are the last pictures I have of him....so I thought it right to post them.

He had his faults, his short comings, but he was a great dad growing up. He taught me many things....my favorite memories are of him teaching me how to fish.

Lion King, Vegas, Family, Recovery

So, I'm still recovering from having my boobies hacked off, but I'm feeling much better! Just had my staples removed yesterday! Feel SOOOOO much better with those out!!

We also went to Vegas, saw Lion King in Play form and hung out with the folks. I'm going to add more photos in a minute, in another post, as you can only add a few at a time. :-)

We had great fun! Lion King was Phenomenal! Xander loved it!!! It was positively amazing!!

We stayed at my folk's apartment, hung out with my bro and his wife a lot, and also got to see an old friend that I hadn't seen in over a year! Heather, Welcome to Vegas, can't wait to see you more!! :-)

Outside my folk's apartment....for reference...Xander is 3 1/2 feet tall....

So, I'm feeling ok, still sore, and my incisions feel like they are itching....so, that's not fun at all!!

Thanks for all your well wishes! I should be up on my feet in no time!!!

How Time Flies...It's Already Been Six Years....

Wow! What a rush! My whole life from the time I asked Aaron to Jr. Prom just came back...This came a day late, as I had all day church and work yesterday....so, we're celebrating today. :-)

....the time we went on the M.S. Dixie Cruise with a whole bunch of friends

....the time he took in a ride in his new car for an hour and just talked....the times he danced with me

....the time we went to see Remember the Titans...the time when the song Kryptonite came on, on new years eve, and he pulled out the superman keychain, "asking me if I would still call him my superman."

...the time we said goodbye for two, long years

....all those letters for those two years

....the fallen in love with him over them even more

....and when he came home

...the roses on my car all the time after work

....when he kissed for the first time outside the movie theater...how to lose a guy in ten days....yeah, that didn't work. He still here. I knew then I wanted him to be the only one to ever kiss me like that again

....When he promised me time and eternity at 1 a.m. outside of the gates of where we would be married. There was a stuffed orange monkey hidden, holding my ring. He knew me too well already

....when we promised forever to each other

....Hawaii...need I say more?

...The day I said, "Hey dad." to him

....the day Xander was born

....all the mistakes I made, all the things I've done, all the irritating things we do to each other on purpose

...and he still loves me more than ever

....he is the air I breathe, he is my other half, my better half. I've never felt so complete before

....We fit together so well

....I never thought I could love him more than I did on that beautiful day in august....

...but here I sit, 6 years later, more in love with him as I could ever be.
