For those of you who don't know, the reason I haven't blogged for a week is because we got the news that dad's health was declining. My sister and I made the trip to Kamloops to visit dad and pray for him. Dad has Lewy Body Dementia, but he did seem to know that we were some of his children, and was able to speak a few words. We love him dearly and are grateful to have had a chance to say goodbye. Since it's an 8 hour drive, it's not likely that we will get the chance to go again.
one of many of our dad's outstanding virtues is his humor, and sense of honor, and love for his family. he always made time for us. he is the best dad on earth :)
powerful pictures. It's true that a picture of worth a thousand words. I'm so glad that you and your sister were able to make the trip and have those moments with him.
I'm glad you and your sister got to go see him. My dad died this past January and we were all there the last week or so, he gradually slipped away, but I know he knew we were there. Hugs to you and your family.
