First time blogging!

Well here it is!!  My first blog.  I've never done this before and I'm not even sure anyone will like or read this.  I have a lot on my mind and I guess it's time to see what other people think of my thoughts.  So if anyone is reading this please feel free to comment.  Like it or hate it, just respond.  I'd like to say that my first blog is something good but there is only one thing on my mind right now.  My father passed away this past Tuesday after a short battle with Cancer.  To me that's not really the bad part since I really lost my father 4 years ago when my mother passed away.  Her death changed him into someone who really wasn't the man I knew as my father growing up.  The worst part of his death was having to take care of my grandparents, his parent.  They were burying their son.  I spent most of my time talking with them and making sure they were alright which of course they weren't.  Whenever someone came to see how I was, I directed them to my grandparents.  It also really made me realize how warped burying your child really is.  I'm a parent of a 15 month old and that is something I myself would never want to experience.  It completely goes against nature.  Our children are supposed to bury us, not the other way around.  It is something that I hope no one ever has to experience or witness.  I'm going to be spending a lot my time, as will my sister and my Aunts and Uncles making sure they are alright and can get through this.  I'm not so sure my Grandfather will as he was already pretty ill going into this.  All this though has made me wonder if we have been lied to about time.  That time does not heal all wounds.

Sorry for your recent losses. My Father died when I was 8 years old so I know how that feels. I can also sympathize with your thoughts on children dieing before their parents. I havea daughter who is turnign three and I have to say I worry a little each time I am not around her. It is like your blessed with the greatest thing in your life when you have a child, but you are also cursed with the most worry.

My sincere condolences on the loss of your father. This is the perfect place to vent. One piece of advice, as you ensure that your family is okay, be sure to take care of yourself and grieve.

Sorry for your loss I can relate as well, I lost my mother 2 years ago in Feb. and My father in law one year later. I would say that time builds calluses over wounds but does not heal totally. I still have my moments usually when alone. Keep your head up your family is there for you.......And I liked your first blog take care and god bless you and your family
