It was a big part of us being together. I also worked in his office for years, at first writing down names and either $3 or $5 for a visit, great record keeping.<br /><br />I am sorry for your loss. I love reading about and seeing your daughters. Lilly is lovely and Meika adorable. You are the wonderful mother that you always knew you would be. I love you very much.<br /><br />JudyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26950015.post-53158947555885366622009-10-15T20:47:06.142-04:002009-10-15T20:47:06.142-04:00Sorry about your Dad Kim, JimSorry about your Dad Kim, JimJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436836606890983813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26950015.post-75294341867387705042009-08-23T16:42:53.274-04:002009-08-23T16:42:53.274-04:00Sorry for your loss.Sorry for your loss.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08026552625213055923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26950015.post-21161654505393838452009-08-22T23:14:01.631-04:002009-08-22T23:14:01.631-04:00I recently lost my father.

My father was diagnosed with cancer a couple of weeks before he died and he flat out told us that he would NOT fight cancer. He was true to his word, he committed suicide 7/21/09. While my heart is greiving his loss, I understand why he did what he did. He was a very proud, stubborn and sometimes cranky old man, but that was who he was and I love him for always remaining his true self. I am now like my Chinese-American daughters were when they came to me....an orphan. But fortunate to have been blessed with memories of my parents and I still have my four beautiful daughters!ourchinagirlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10468338665282912994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26950015.post-83156887815079888402009-08-22T22:30:40.619-04:002009-08-22T22:30:40.619-04:00How awesome that he saw the best in you, the best ...How awesome that he saw the best in you, the best in the parent in you that he was not able to be.<br />Praying for your sweet peace,<br />RobbieBlessed Mom of Four AND Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552944942986801747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26950015.post-16807142206061325672009-08-22T08:44:38.263-04:002009-08-22T08:44:38.263-04:00An honest and loving tribue.

Relationships can leave one's heart torn in so many different directions, pulling back those threads to bundle them up and attempt to make sense of them is a real life's challenge...and privilege.Kim Kelley-Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04551461673310420408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26950015.post-44106835159226772092009-08-19T22:57:29.780-04:002009-08-19T22:57:29.780-04:00It was always difficult to get a sense of, let alo...It was always difficult to get a sense of, let alone be sure of, approval from our fathers and their siblings. They were all so damned sure they were right about everything. I guess they were all so smart and competitive that it took a long time for them to come down off their respective pedestals and realize that there was a new generation that needed them to confident and caring instead of arrogant and aloof. <br /><br />I am so happy to hear that you finally heard your dad say that he was proud of you. My dad tells me that often and those words will be with me forever. <br /><br />I will miss my uncle Ed. I am glad to be getting to know you again.
