Letters To The Man in The Moon

To My Man in the Moon Dear Dad, Today we got some great news, Liam's R.O.P. cleared up on its own so we shouldn't have anything to worry about for quite a while. It was so relieving to hear that he doesn't have to go through anymore exams. They said he should be good till his normal 2 yr appointment. He's been a smiley monkey all day too. It's like he knows that its all going to be okay. That's not the only good thing for today. Breena posted a home movie from long long ago. It was a compilation of some old home movies from when you, Barb and Linda were young. It was amazing to see! I totally got a piece of you. I learned so much from something so simple, that I just broke down. It was like looking in a magic mirror. Your dad, my grandfather, reminded me so much of you. I could see it so clearly. And the place where you all were, skiing and swimming, reminded me so much of Bull Shoals. Wagon Wheel Resort I can see why you were so happy there. It was so amazin...

To My Man in the Moon Dear Dad, I don't know what I am going to do. Today mom had her Dr's appointment with Dr. Townsend and she was told that she wouldn't be able to withstand any further chemo, so all they could do is hope to shrink the tumor to make her more comfortable but that there was nothing further we could do. Hospice Care was mentioned several times. I think even she doesn't know what to do. I think before Liam was here, everything was black and white. She would live until she just didn't. She has had a long life, and she is ready to be with you. But now that Liam is here, I think its not quite as easy as it was before. I know nothing is for me. I don't know what kind of timeline we are talking about but I think after this radiation, its going to be like holding our breath. But I feel like I already am. I am trying to be level headed about this because I know that's what she needs. I have to keep my wits about me and not freak out though everyt...

To My Man in the Moon Dad, The beginning is the hardest. It seems like the end would be the hardest and the beginning the easiest, but I know better. It's finding the commitment and the strength to commit to something and following through with it that's the hard part. So here we go. Trying to find the right words and where to begin. So I'll start with telling you something easy, I miss you. We all miss you. There are so many things I want to say. There is so much time that has passed. I am no longer that little innocent girl. I can barely remember being 9. Luckily the good times come more easily than the hard ones through there are more than a few. Last year was a big one for me, getting married, having a baby, and it really brought a lot of emotion out of me. Reuniting with Debbie and then Mike after Grandma Myrtle died has been a HUGE blessing in my life, and moms. Having them at my wedding was the best blessing I could ask for! It was beautiful and Debbie even ...
