What is life?

Today was one of the hardest days of my life.

I said goodbye to my Dad for the last time today.

This past week has felt like it lasted a month. I'm exhausted, physically, mentally and emotionally. So many tears but also so many wonderful memories. Memories that had been clouded by sadness these past 10 years since my Dad suffered a stroke which left him paralyzed on his left side and unable to walk or do much for himself.

Today we celebrated the vibrant, determined, strong, compassionate and amazing man that he was and the fact that he really lived life! He was not one to sit around and wait for life to happen to him, he was the type of man who made things happen. My gosh I'd forgotten so many of the wonderful things he had accomplished in his life. I'm so proud he chose me as his daughter.

Rest In Peace my darling Dad, no more suffering for you. I'll see you again when I've finished my adventures here, you've shown me how to really live and I plan to have many wonderful stories to tell you when we meet again xxxxxx
