Life Is a Gift

March 7, 2015 | By Heidi | Filed Under: family | Leave a Comment

Wow, could it possibly have been 3 months ago that I last blogged?

So much has happened.

My father was in the hospital over Christmas. Then he was moved to a Skilled Nursing Facility for rehab. He spent a month there and came home at the end of January.

My mother, youngest sister, and I went to Disney world the first week of February. We were there for 8 days. I have loads of photos to share.

My dad fell on the 20th of February and was taken to the ER by ambulance.

He spent a couple days in ICU and 12 hours in Hospice.

And then he was gone.

On February 24, 2015 at 2:12 am, my father died.

We are 3 months into 2015 and the whole experience is surreal, yet, I know it happened.

I was holding his hand (along with my mother) as he took his last breath.

Life is a gift and it’s precious and fragile.

 

More…happier… topics coming soon.
