Leave of Absence

I'm taking a temporary leave of absence from my blog ( I'll still be on facebook) for a few days or weeks. I'm sure you all know why. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. I know my Dad is with me at all times, and is in a better place. He isn't suffering anymore. I love him more than anything. I need to spend the next few weeks with my family.

Please continue to keep us in your prayers. I have a wonderful group of friends and I love you all dearly.

If you've been reading my facebook posts, you know that I have my Dad's dog Sam with me. My Dad loved this dog so much, and Sam loved him just as much. A few hours before my Dad past away I brought him Sam. I know my Dad was thrilled to see Sam, just as Sam was thrilled to see him. I asked my Mom if I could bring Sam home with me for a few days. It makes me feel like I have a piece of my Dad with me. I love cuddling with this dog. It's always been an on going joke with my Dad and I who Sam like better. Him or I :-) Dad, you won :-)

Lots of prayers sent your way. When I lost my mommy, there were no words that could make me feel better, but it was nice to know that people cared about me. I hope you know that you have lots of people who care about you. Although no one can truly understand what you are going through, I have lived through losing a parent at a young age, and if you ever need anyone to talk to (or cry with), don't hesitate to call me. My deepest sympathies to you and your family. And I hope you get to keep Sam. :)

I was thinking of you tonight and wanted to stop in to check in. Wishing you all comfort.
