The last phone call that I got from my father was him wishing me a happy birthday. I remember hearing the phone ring & looking at the caller id & deciding not to answer because I was young & stupid & mad at the whole world. That morning he sang me the whole song of Happy Birthday. He always made sure to be my first phone call on my birthday & this year it broke my heart that he would not be calling.
I wish I had answered the phone....

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
THIS is your Daddy wishing you a happy birthday!
He could not call you directly this year, but he wants you to know that you are loved and that he looks forward to seeing you when the time comes for you to be reunited.
You are not to feel guilty. Things happen the way they happen. Just because you failed to answer the telephone does not mean that you loved him any less or that he was hurt or angry. It simply isn't true.
You are to have a happy day and know that your Daddy is with you in spirit and continues to love you and hopes you have many many more happy birthdays.
(This is what I would wish for my daughter if I were not here for her next birthday. I hope you have a wonderful day and can remember your daddy warmly.)

She was given liquid morphine via syringe ever hour on the hour. By 7:00 she was in a deep sleep. It had been a long day, and I decided to go home for some rest.
Later that evening, I felt like I should go back. I hadn't seen hubby much because I was with mom a lot. I knew there wasn't anything I could do for mom except be there. "Be there" is where I should have been. I got a call from my sister at 1:45 a.m. that the nursing home called to say that she had passed away.
On the 16th she will have been gone for one year. That last night, I could stay with her, I chose to go home and rest.
We can't change anything we have done in the past. We can only learn to do things differently in the future.
It still hurts though.
