Time passes so quickly

I can't believe that 19 years ago today my Dad passed away. It doesn't seem like all that time has passed yet at other times it feels like so long since I last saw him. He went to bed and never woke up. I still remembered the morning i got the call at work that he was gone. It was total shock and so unexpected. He was the best Dad and the kindest man. All who knew him loved him. He believed in me even when I didn't believe in myself. He was always there for his girls. Growing up there was mom, us six girls and Dad. It's no wonder he was completely gray in his mid thirties. I think of him and mom every day. I sure do miss them. Even after 19 years this day brings up a lot of emotions and leaves me feeling sad. My neighbor and friend who just found out she has stage 4 cancer went to the oncologist today. She was going to find out if they were going to start treatments or if she was full of cancer. They had drained fluid when she was in the hospital and they were testing it. They feared it may have spread throughout her body. If that was the case then there was nothing they could do. On my way in from work she was out in the yard. I went over to talk to her and all she did was cry and we hugged. She never said a word so I am thinking the news wasn't good. I am sure we will hear more from her husband. Treasure your loved one. Enjoy your time with them. Life changes so quickly and the ones we love can be taken from us far too soon. I am having a rough day today.
