I am just amazed with reading about your...Dana .... I am just amazed with reading about your life, Leah and Greg. I don't really ever say this but I am always fearful that this conversation with my mom or dad could be my last. I really try to appreciate each moment, see them as often as I can (I am in NJ and they are in Michigan) and tell them I love them everytime we talk. I think you are brave and courgeous for everything you have shared. I don't think I would make it if I lost one of them. I can't wait to continue reading more of your blog as it makes me feel good and try to see the glass is always half full.Julienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33600697.post-76336302598284101592010-05-06T11:40:31.190-04:002010-05-06T11:40:31.190-04:00Dana,
My father passed away on a Monday night. Be...Dana,<br /><br />My father passed away on a Monday night. Before I left for school that morning he called me. We had a few choice words for each other and I said things to him that will tear me up inside for the rest of my life. I figured that a day or two would pass and everything would be just peachy again. <br /><br />I returned home from school at 3, and at about 6 my Mother called my Grandparents and I to let us know my father was having issues and someone needed to bring him to the hospital. I thought this was no big deal, my Grandfather would bring him and I would see him later. At 11 pm, I got the phone call that he had passed away. <br /><br />I was incredibly distraught, especially due to our fight that morning. However, two years later I found an old answering machine, and it had a few messages on it. I clicked play and it was my father. The message said "Just calling to see how Louie is. Let him know everything is ok between us." I still cannot believe that message that was on there. It was like he was calling me from the grave.<br /><br />I still hurt over what was said, but I think that everyone knows that words are words, and actions throughout a lifetime show how people really felt about each other.Louis Amendolanoreply@blogger.com
