2007

2007 Was a year of all years....Dad was set for surgery in February,he came back to Rhode Island to get tested and set the date.January I found out Dad's surgery was set for the end of February.February 19th Dad came to visit and we had a really great day.I called Dad on the phone to make sure he made it home,we made plans for a lunch date.Shortly after we hung up,Dad had a massive heart attack and died at the hospital.My brother Cal called to tell me.I felt like my whole world had stopped.My stepmother and step sisters were with Dad at the hospital,they didn't call to see if I wanted to see my Dad.I wasn't allowed to see him at the funeral home because my stepmother ordered my Dad be cremated right away.So I had no closure at that time.We had his services where my stepmother wanted,we weren't involved in any part of the arrangements.I was Dad's only daughter plus his oldest child plus my 2 brothers.Dad isn't buried he's with my stepmother,although his death certificate said he was buried in a cemetary.He was suppose to be buried in Riverside Ct in the family plot.But the stepmother wants her ashes with Dad's ashes.Which I think is wrong and not the Catholic way.And god knows where they'll be buried when she does passes.I was always afraid this would happen and I'm not happy about Dad not being where he belongs.If I had had money I would of fought my stepmother over my father.I know a lot of family members on our side wasn't happy but noone spoke up.My fathers will just disappeared but according to my stepmother,my father had nothing left.I know differently,her children got the gold mine and Dad's real children got the shaft.I believe in Karma.One day she will have to answer for her actions.I had to explain Dad first,because he started the year of heatache.7 weeks  later after Dad's death...I lost my son. My next journal entry will explain Mike Jr and what happened.
