Awww. & like Lu said, reminds me of MS — my “stepmom in law” has it, and very few houseguests. People don’t like to face disability, disease, death, discomfort.

When I was in 8th grade, mom woke me around 4am one day with news that she was taking dad to the hospital for a heart attack. He got better, but cancer took him out when I was 22. It’ll be ten years next month.

*HUGS* to you!

I can’t imagine. Your words, that it was a hospital stay no different from any other, but unlike any other… there is so much there. It’s obvious that your father was so very important to you.

“For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behind
And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life
Just open up your eyes.”

Kind of seems appropriate considering what it has taken you to get to this point. I’m very proud of you, honey.

I can’t even imagine what it must have been like to lose your dad at sixteen. Sending hugs your way.

Sounds like a lot of my grandfather's life with MS. Hugs, and I can't wait to read the rest. .-= Lu ~ @masmom´s last blog ..Tendon Surgery: Take Two =-.
