May the white light of the Holy Spirit lighten your day, and every angel in heaven comfort you. Sorry to hear about your loss, my mother passed away 4 years ago, at first I thought, no way, this can't be happening to me. But, God had other plans. I think about her constantly, everyday, I end up thanking God for the time I did have with her and pray some day I will meet up with her in heaven. Good Luck on your pumpkin growing.

If you don't mind me adding, my brother, a viet nam vet died sept. 18th, 01, 1 week after 9/11, a suprising thing about it was on the 17th, a day before he died, my brother called a buddy that he served in viet nam with, who he had not spoken to since viet nam, who lived right there in manhattan where 9/11 happened, he was alright, the next day my brother died. Sometimes you don't appreciate things until there gone.

Keith, God bless you and your family. I know it is tough. I lost my mom September 19, 2004. Driving back from the 5k road race in town Saturday. It was raining. I remembered at that moment in 2004 I did the same (in the rain) but decided to drive on and help my father take care of my mother. Glad I did because I was able to hold her hand as she passed in the hospital later that day.
I am sure your dad is looking down at you as proud as ever. That is what parents do.

I lost my dad to cancer, almost 10 years ago now. For him, any job worth doing was worth doing yourself. To make a log of long stories short, we did so many projects that should have required heavy equipment, with our hands. I wasn't into gardening then, but a lot of the work ethic that he had lives on in me now as I work in the yard. Most people don't know where I get the determination to do this year after year. A lot of it comes from him.

Keith, Sept. 21 is special to me. My dad was born in 1903. He died in 1986. When I go out to garden or get on the tractor I think of him and mom. It will get a little easier as time goes on but our parents are always very special to us.
