a hard look

This week has been a tough one for my dad. He has spent most of it in a hospital bed, wondering what is wrong with his heart... I don't remember my dad ever in a hospital before. Growing up, he was always moving, always working, always fixing... and I realize now that time doesn't stand still, that my dad is 73 and he does have a bad heart, always has. And that one of the 2 people in my life who have always been around, is quite sick, and won't be around forever. And what hits the worst is that I haven't appreciated my dad enough. I've taken for granted all he's ever done, and stomped on it and focused on what he hasn't done... I feel so ashamed...

I'm sure he knows how strong your love is for him, even if you didn't get to show it in the way you wish you had. He knows :) Much love & best wishes for your family.

im so sorry to hear about your dad, im sure he will pull through this. i know that everything your dad has ever done for you has always been a selfless act of love. BOTH your parents LOVE each of you guys and would do anything for you. so dont feel ashamed, he knows that you appreciated everything he's ever done for you.

please give my love to both of them, and hope that he gets better soon.
