in memoriam - my dad
 |
April 25, 1916 to March 24, 2006
Thanks to many who wrote with concern after my previous post at the time of my father's congestive heart failure a few weeks ago.
My sweat old Dad died in his sleep in the wee hours of Friday, March 24th (typical of my father who wouldn't want anyone to fuss over him or have to hurry across town to his bedside).
I gave the eulogy at his wake, which was an incredible honor that I am grateful to have been entrusted with and yet I am heart broken to have made it all. There are stories that I will post about the wake and the prunish priest that I came head to head with at the church and my Dad's sense of humor and the touching ride to the cemetery... but these will have to wait.
I'm back in the surreal world of work and responsibilities and useless tasks and people biting their nails over web lists and meeting dates and traffic and contractors and my heart is back in Kansas City looking for where it might find the one it lost.
I will stumble back into posting here in my blog as the days roll forward.

I am so sorry to hear about the death of your dad. I have been reading your blog for a while as a
'lurker' and have enjoyed your post about life in New York. When I checked your site each day and you had not posted, I was afraid it was not good news. Please accept my sympathy. May God bless you and your family.

Thank you all for your kind words and hugs. They mean more than you might realize.
