Daily Mood Quote
Day 226 – December 19, 2011
Lost time is never found again.
~Benjamin Franklin
A few weeks ago, I was informed that my father had cancer. Today, I was told, my father will die shortly and the only thing that can be done is to make him comfortable. First, I would like to thank everyone who reads daily mood quotes, those who have sent e-mails with questions and comments, all my Facebook Friends on Daily Mood Quotes Facebook page and my Twitter followers. Writing this blog is an enjoyable and exciting part of my daily activities.
Unfortunately, I will be taking some time off, because I would very much like to spend time with my father; his time is very short. As I have said before, my father is a wonderful man, he adopted me, gave me his name and raised me as his own child. He never made me feel unwanted, or that I didn't belong. Over the past seven years, since my mother's passing, my father and I had an opportunity to reconnect and we became friends. He is a wonderful, caring, loving man that I have had the gift to call “my dad.” The doctors say, he doesn’t have much time (hours – days), so I will take that remaining time and share it with my father, sisters and brother. Then we will say goodbye, except for me, I don't like to say goodbye. I'll just say “see ya later dad.”
Because, I will be away from my computer (it's a desktop, not a laptop) and focused on my family, I will not be blogging Daily Mood Quotes for the rest of December. Family is priority during this difficult time. I will be back on January 1, 2012 with more quotes, more movie quotes and great stories for the new year.
I would very like to wish everyone who reads Daily Mood Quotes a very Happy and Safe Holiday season. A personal message; Life is short make the most of it. My dad is in his mid 70's and I had hoped that we would have more time. But, that was not to be. Life is meant to be shared, enjoyed and cherished. Don't wait until it's too late to begin living a life that was meant to be shared, enjoyed and cherished with those you love and those who love you. See you in New Year.
Happy Holiday,
from Daily Mood Quotes
