It's kind of funny how we suddenly...Webster... It's kind of funny how we suddenly find comfort in those certain things... Humming birds and John Deere tractors for instance. I'm sure your mom was a wonderful lady and I can appreciate and understand how difficult is to be without her. I guess in time, for me it will get better too. It just sucks in the meantime. :(<br /><br />Mr. M... Glad you liked it. We went out again yesterday and logged around 280 miles. I'll have to figure out what I can say about that one. It was a beautiful day and a really nice ride!<br /><br />KT... Thanks! I'm glad the day ended up being as reflective as it was. I get overwhelmed at times, and I'll start feeling like I'm not the person I know I can be. I wear my feelings on my sleeves a lot and basically, I needed to get out and release some energy. It was good medicine for me. <br /><br />Steph... I hope it's a long, long, long time before you have to experience it. It was the most heartbreaking thing I've had to endure in my life so far. <br /><br />But, it's like my brother said... our pain is a gift. It's BECAUSE of the love we received from our dad... is why it hurts so bad. Not everyone can say they had that kind of relationship with their parents. We were very fortunate. <br /><br />I know with time... my pain will turn into joy as I continue to talk about him and share him with others. It's my way of keeping him alive and close to me... always in my heart.Lady R (Di)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08253802136989789026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058662679644806189.post-55519406887229255092010-03-20T16:36:21.481-05:002010-03-20T16:36:21.481-05:00Wow Lady R...what a touching tale you told. Tugge...Wow Lady R...what a touching tale you told. Tugged at my heart! Your Pops was so with you that day. That's why you noticed all those things. He's there to watch over you now, each and every day. <br /><br />I totally understand the Gospel according to John. My Father retired from PEC in Waterloo after 34 yrs. To this day if I see a tractor and it isn't Green and Gold I turn my nose up at it. John Deere was good to my family and it taught me a level of respect for farmers. <br /><br />Anyway...thank you so much for your wonderful story. I think it's a good healing thing that you post these tributes to your Father. I haven't lost a parent yet but I'm sure it rips your heart right out.

Ridi...I believe your dad was with you on that trip. Riding again with his baby girl. Letting you know it is all well. Taking that stress away from his little girl. Letting you know daddy is always with you. Lost my hero my mother 12 years past. But every time I see a humming bird or hear the Twist by Chubby Checkers I know my mother is there telling me it's ok.Webster Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400898270278007467noreply@blogger.com
