Tami:
Thanks for giving me permission to ramble. I'm sure it will happen again
real soon!!
Also, thanks so much for replying to my introduction. I've received so many
encouraging and beautiful letters that it brought tears to my eyes.
Actually, I read them to my husband and I couldn't get through them without
having to stop to control myself. I can be a REAL baby sometimes!!
It's a good feeling knowing that you all are here for me. I will take
advantage of it!! Dad is being admitted today, and so now the journey
begins. I'm honestly scared to death about this. I just never imagined I'd
have to see him or anyone in my family go through this. I just feel that
life will never be the same if my Dad doesn't come through this. I can't
imagine not having him in my life. I love him so much. Sorry if I'm
sounding melodramatic. But it is my Dad. But, I will think positive. And
pray.
Have a wonderful day and know that my thoughts and prayers and with all of
you today.
Love,
Linda
