Thanks Job for starting this thread to let my peeps know. And thank you Sotho & Vanilla for your condolences.
It was expected I guess but we are never really ready.
I have never been closer to anyone in my life than I was to my dad. He was just so special. And he "got" me.
I was on Orlando, had to drive 3 hours to Fort Myers then a very quick pack and flew to Buffalo. My sister picked me up and I then had to couch surf for a few days. So it was all stressful. But when we got to visitation and the funeral - I found strength I never knew I had. I wrote and delivered the kind of eulogy he deserved. And he had a veteran's funeral with thenaval officers all removing their poppies and placing them on the flag draped casket. It was quite moving.
I'm back and home now. Ashley drove me home last night and finally I had some time to talk with her. Hadn't had that all summer. And it was SO good for my heart.
I've decided to go back to Florida soon. I just want to veg for a while then host my family for Christmas since our plans have changed and we won't be in NIagara.
Many of you visited me on Facebook. I really appreciate your support and words of comfort.
Thank you
Barb
