Feels like forever.

It feels like forever since I've blogged. My life has been so crazy that it's been difficult to keep my head above the water.

After a 13 month battle with pancreatic cancer, I lost my hero...my father...on May 23rd. Nothing, and I mean nothing, prepares you for when the time comes. I thought I would be so relieved, knowing that he wasn't in pain any longer, but when the time came, I just wanted him back again.

I'm not ready to write about everything that transpired right now, because I'm tearing up even as I write a small update. I just wanted to let you all know what was going on, and that I will be trying to keep my head up. I need to, for my family and for myself. I know my daddy wouldn't want me to be in a state of depression over him.

I'll be back later to write about his battle, his passing, his epic memorial, and his wonderful legacy.
