Why?

Why didn't you fight for him?

Why didn't you tell us how to face the horrific battle?

Why did you ignore his soul's pleas to live?

Why?

Why did you put my dying Father "on hold" with no hope?

Why didn't you try harder?

Why didn't you share information with us on Palliative Care?

Why?

Why didn't you offer him even one minute option?

Why were you so threatened by a second opinion?

Why were desperate calls for any hope at all so "inconvenient" for you?

Why?

Why didn't you care more?

Why did you, seemingly, not care at all?

Why didn't you value the life of my Father?

Why?

My Dad LOVED this Poem, which says an awful lot of GOOD about Him

A "Mother's Day" Poem

*Just for this morning...      I am going to step over

the laundry,  and pick you up and take you to the park to play. 

*Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes 

in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of 

yours together. 

*Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and 

keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and 

blow bubbles. 

*Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, 

not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the 

ice cream truck and I will buy you one if he comes by. 

*Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about 

what you are going t o be when you grow up, or second guess 

every decision I have made where you are concerned . 

*Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, 

and I won't stand over you trying to fix them. 

*Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy 

us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys. 

*Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you 

a story about how you were born and how much I love you. 

*Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and 

not get angry. 

*Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit 

on the porch and count all the stars. 

*Just for this evening, I will snuggle besideyou for hours, 

and miss my favorite TV shows. 

*Just for this evening when I run my finger through your hair 

as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the 

greatest gift ever given. 

*I will think about the mothers And fathers who are searching 

for their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are 

visiting their children's graves instead of their bedrooms, and 

mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms watching 

their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that 

they can't handle it anymore. 

*And when I kiss you good night I will hold you a little tighter, 

a little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for you, and 

ask Him for nothing, except one more day.............

Oh, my papa

Oh, my papa, to me he was so wonderful Oh, my papa, to me he was so good No one could be, so gentle and so lovable Oh, my papa, he always understood. Gone are the days when he could take me on his knee And with a smile he'd change my tears to laughter Oh, my papa, so funny, so adorable Always the clown so funny in his way Oh, my papa, to me he was so wonderful Deep in my heart I miss him so today.

PapAmore' - Loved Me

I had given my Dad 2 of JJ Heller's CD's (Love Me included on one of them) while he was in the hospital, the first time, under induction...and I myself listened to them (I had also purchased copies for myself ;) as well over and over again, I so related to the words of her songs, yet was then yet unable to share with others that I did.

So...this is my Father...he calls, not crying, but classic PapAmore' choked up, and says..."Can you believe it?  How could another ones songs and words that you never met nor know, be so about you?"

We miss him...
