"Only the good die young"

The last year has been rewarding, inspiring, fulfilling, stressful, and just plain hard. In fact it has been the hardest year of my life. I know that I am so blessed, so I keep my head up and press forward. A lot of things have contributed to my stress including: Graduating, working two jobs, starting my own business, physical problems, and the death of my dad. I think of him all the time, and it's funny the things you think of about heaven when someone dies. It's hard for me to put into words how much I miss him. I think of him a thousand times a day. I was privileged to spend many hours with him before his passing, he couldn't say much but I sat beside him holding his hand. I was holding his hand and whispering loving thoughts to him as he took his last breathe. I am forever changed from that moment. It has been the hardest thing I have ever gone through in life. To let someone you love go, to not try and stop them or stand in there way, but unselfishly let them go...... I know that he is in a better place. I imagine him running, jumping, laughing doing all the things that he hasn't been able to do for so long. His body was his prison, now he is free to enjoy paradise. I love you Dad!
