Lossing my father
I've been meaning to write something for a long time. I lost my father to cancer just a few days after Christmas this year. We were extremely close as I lost my mother 11 years ago to cancer also. My husband and I, as well as my siblings took care of him in his home up until the end. I just wanted to tell Carrie that I can not not watch "Temporary Home" when it come on CMT. The man in the hospital bed looks just like my father. Dad was 79 and had a full head of white hair. I cry everytime I watch it but I feel like I am seeing Dad for a few seconds. Thank you for that song. I know this is our temporary home but it is not the same here without him. He was a joy and I feel so blessed to have him as a father. Any who new him knew how special he was and he had a gift for making you feel just as special. Again Thank You Carrie.

That's sad and i am sorry, but i might sound mean when i say, your best thing to do is to know that he is in a better place and that you will see him again someday. And not to dwell on the past, if you know what i mean. My advice is a little harsh, but that is how i think, and i am sorry for what happened. Please don't think i don't care, because i too lost a friend of mine a few years ago, but i know he is somewhere better than here. And i don't continue to think about before he died a lot, or at al for that matter. He too had cancer and we thought he was cured, but he wasn't, and he passed away the morning of the Indy 500, 2 years ago. So this month is kinda hard for us, especially race day. But i plan to make it a good day, in knowing we will see him again. (no, he was not a boyfriend, he was a hockey player on my highschool team.)
So if you know and remember you will see him again, that will help a lot. I hope i helped a little at least.
If i was a little harsh, i apologize.
