Did I say how much I really dislike eblog and its ease to be able to navigate through all the links? I haven't posted for some time now. Ok, so on August 2, 2013, it was eight years that my beloved Dad passed on. I miss him and my Mom sorely, especially on clear late afternoons -usually in autumn. After my Mom passed away, I still had six years left with my Dad. I miss seeing his little white Mitsubishi truck drive up to our house whenever he'd come for a visit. When the visit was about over and I'd hug him and tell him how much I loved him, his eyes would get misty. Probably, because he'd remembered when he had to say goodbye to my Mom after she passed on. Well, now until next year, (God willing), when it will be nine years of his passing in August. The only visits I get now from him or my Mom, are when they come to me in dreams. "Mom, Dad, I love you more then words will ever say and I also miss you, like I thought I never would." Your daughter, -Ella

(P.S. Four years have passed since the above entry was made. A lot has happened since then.

My! I haven't posted for several years now. My Dad died August 2, 2005. He had just turned 83. It'll be coming up on six years that he passed on. It's so hard to believe that it has been six years. My grief for him isn't as bad as when he first was no more, but I miss him EVER so greatly. July 4th was his birthday and he would have been 89. July 4th, Dad, I'll be wishing you a happy birthday wherever you may be. Love you with all that I am.

Oct. 31, 2005 - Halloween

Just posting my thoughts. My Dad recently died and tonight is Halloween. I hate Halloween, [almost as much as I hate some NUNS]....Halloween and every holiday that follows there after. That's what death does to you. I plan to say what the title of my blog is about, though, not just yet. It is a pretty long story that stems from childhood. Some of you may have already guessed it by now. Feel free to add any comments, but please know, that if I don't like what you've posted, your comments/post will be OBLITERATED! So be nice!

Proved to be pretty dead. A few kids here and there, came up to get candy and that was it. Giving out candy ended pretty earlier. Hope this tradition is dying out. In the fall of my years, I think it's pretty silly.

The beginning of the last two months that are left in this year and as this years comes to an end, it has taken my Dad along with it. The last two months of a year are like a roll of toilet paper...they pick up speed towards the end. [November 9, 2005 -1:05 p.m.]

Well, let's see......we’re trying to decide what to do and where to go for Thanksgiving. I refuse cook not even one speck of food for Thanksgiving, this year. We’ll probably just go to Melinda’s, my DIL's Grandmother’s house and just have Thanksgiving there. Also, last night we attended a mass the priest who said my Dad's funeral services at FL, invited us to. It was for the intention of all Catholic members of the parish who passed on, since last November. It was a huge turn out and very beautifully done. It was very moving and all respect given to those who had passed on. My Dad's name was on the list of about 75 who had passed on. Everyone [including me] took a photo of their loved one who had died and placed it up on an altar, that was especially prepared for that reason. The names of the deceased, were read out loud. I almost lost it when I heard my Dad's name come up, but I managed to keep a stiff upper lip. My father's wife was there with her cousin. Her cousin was the other person in the room, beside myself, when my Dad passed on. His breathing dimminished...He left peacefully. When we realized that he was gone, all we could do was to stare at the corpse in disbelief. We started to cry. All that was left to do was to hug each other and cry.....Gosh! I still can't believe he's gone!
