Dad,
I've found myself listening to a lot of 50's music after your death. It reminds me of you. You graduated from high school in 1952. It was a simpler time when you were young and healthy. You had your whole life ahead of you. I used to turn to the 50's radio channel for you when you were in the car with me, driving to your doctors appointments, hoping it would trigger a fond memory of your past. Bernard Jr. & I recently went through your old high school yearbooks looking at all the vintage photos. The 1950's era makes me think of you & all the promise your life held. Thinking of you young & healthy, rather than old & sick.

Dear Rose

Bloggerdad,
So good to hear from you. Thank you for your comment & wisdom. I adored my dad & at the moment it feels like the worst pain ever grieving his loss. I asked TH to give you a big hug from me.
I stumbled upon your blog and your words resembled whats in my heart as I have already said so long to both my parents, but I found comfort on what the last book of the bible says. Revelation(Apocalypse) Chapter 21 verse 4 and also the words of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in Mathew 5:5.
May God bless you and all your family
