It was powerful, Joy. This is one of the most precious things I have read. The relationship between you and your father. I have a good relationship with my own dad but nothing like this it feels anyway...I'm a child of divorce so that can give some explanation. <BR/><BR/>This just warms my heart today. I'm surprisingly touched by this beautiful display of relationship between father and child (children). <BR/><BR/>I am so sorry you are entering this phase....as phase you knew would come but hoped it would be delayed...just another year, another month, another week or day. <BR/><BR/>But oh how lucky you are to have the precious memories. And then, what better way to show your ever so deep appreciation for your sweet daddy than taking care of him now. I know that your little girl heart wants to run to his lap and he fix your everything. For now, your Father will fix your dad...He will do what He needs in his days and life to come...this new phase. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing your daddy.<BR/><BR/>I had forgotten how much you and sis still resemble your twinness (some lose that). However, you are on the right, right? I'm right, right?<BR/><BR/>I have just lifted your daddy and your family to the Father of all. <BR/>Love,<BR/>PaulaPaula Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948349907036852384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19646396.post-57729002853366611372009-03-03T13:29:00.000-05:002009-03-03T13:29:00.000-05:00Joy,I was in Ottawa last weekend and just reading ...Joy,<BR/>I was in Ottawa last weekend and just reading this now. Obviously the surgery is over by now. I pray that all went well. My heart certainly connects with yours here and several of the commentors. It is very hard to see the 'ravages' of age on our once very independent parents. I thank Him that you can be with him. Continuing to pray for his healing.<BR/>Love, SitaSitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00092520641097913897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19646396.post-27145404280729910152009-03-03T13:05:00.000-05:002009-03-03T13:05:00.000-05:00Oh, I love the pictures!

I'll write it in my prayer journal as soon as I finish this comment.<BR/><BR/>Joy, it's so hard to watch our strong and precious parents begin to weaken in ways that surprise us. Try to continue to praise Him for all of the wonderful things that you darling Daddy has taught you, has done for you and has blessed you with. This is a part of who you are--how he has been a part of your development as a daughter, friend, sister, mom and wife. His fingerprints are all over you! That is such a blessing!<BR/><BR/>Love you bunches!<BR/>Wish I were closer, and I'd sit there with you!<BR/>SusanRunner Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117856929394961713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19646396.post-61893227044512539492009-03-03T08:33:00.000-05:002009-03-03T08:33:00.000-05:00How blessed you have been with a wonderful earthly...How blessed you have been with a wonderful earthly father.

Then everything changed with a diagnosis of colon cancer. He lived 9 months and it was the hardest nine months ever. So I understand.....He could no longer fix anything and his personality totally changed. <BR/><BR/>TeresaTeresa @ Grammy Girlfriendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05151128140345216126noreply@blogger.com
