It's a new day, and I'm just settling down for a night sleep. Its been 7 months since your departure and my heart is just as heavy as the 7th minute of your departure. I pray for my peace and acceptance as we approach your 74th birthday. I remember when we were debating about giving you a birthday party when you turned 70, you said "Wait until i turn 75". Oh how i wish i had went against your wishes. I wished we could have had the opportunity to celebrate your life while you were here to appreciate it, and not when we stood above your casket. I had some hope after the Relay for Life Ceremony that your life would be appreciated, embraced and remembered. I love and miss you so much. With Love and Tenderness, Your Daughter.
