Thank you so much ...Hey, Mary, how's it going?<br /><br />Thank you so much for your lovely comments. It must have been terrible when your dad fell at work. I'm glad you had that additional time with him.<br /><br />And you're right--we are all connected!Rob Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741955202727936194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214458.post-39604511048962422182014-09-24T09:05:39.987-07:002014-09-24T09:05:39.987-07:00What a wonderfully written, beautiful and powerful...What a wonderfully written, beautiful and powerful post. Thank you for sharing this. I felt the emotion of it. I understand. My father fell from a scaffold at work during my senior year of high school. That was scary news to get and to then have to wait and wait for more details. Luckily, he wasn't seriously injured. Cancer got him years later, but, that night about 16 years earlier turned out to be okay. <br /><br />My sister's birthday is July 16th. <br />We are all connected. <br />CrystalChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11778302473630157009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214458.post-84443580912269008222014-09-23T06:23:28.367-07:002014-09-23T06:23:28.367-07:00Oh, Stephanie, that's so kind of you!

And you're right--nothing can prepare us for the loss of our parents.<br /><br />I remember actually being angry after losing my mother: I was mad because no one had told me it would hurt so much.<br /><br />But I realized that no one told me because there are no words for it. We have all go through it on our own. So it's best to celebrate the good times while you have them.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and do take care!Rob Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741955202727936194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214458.post-73496014993248031872014-09-22T17:49:24.605-07:002014-09-22T17:49:24.605-07:00That had to have been terrifying.

They're just such a part of our lives and who we are.

It is really amazing the things that stick with you in times like this. I have not yet lost a parent so I can no say I understand at all how you feel but I can understand the fear you must have felt in that moment you described.

I wasn't sure about writing this post because it was such a terrible time for our family.<br /><br />But it still comes back to me after all this time, so I figured that's the kind of stuff you write about.<br /><br />That's a very touching story about your dad's passing. It's so awful to lose someone after being together for so long. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.<br /><br />Take care of yourself, buddy!

This post blew me away! Holy cow, I was right there with you, your father and your mother that night as I read these words. I actually got teary-eyed and emotional. <br /><br />"We have a tendency to think that our parents’ lives began when we were born, but, of course, they’ve got a whole history together that we know nothing about."<br /><br />You're right. And I remember being aware of that when my father was ill and then passed away; watching the interaction between he and my mother and seeing the depth of love and connection they had for each other. After my father passed, I was more concerned for my mother than myself. <br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us, buddy. Thank you.<br /><br />Have a super week!
