| Father's Day for a Pirate Girl |
| 06.20.09 (12:34 pm) [edit] |
Well...tomorrow is Father's Day - *sigh* - I know it's going to be a tough one - Let's see...it's been 6 months now, since Captian Nemo passed away. Still rough (of course) - but some days are better than others. In fact some days are even good ones. Although, I do have my days (somtimes a few days in a row). It's still weird to wake up and realise he is not here anymore. I catch myself for an instant, and it all comes rushing back. Seems so weird and just flat out strange for him to just not be here. I sure do miss him. I have had a couple of very very short dreams, where I see his face - I even heard his voice one time. I like that. Not sure what I'll do, or be doing, tomorrow...I know I'll be taking flowers to Captain Nemo ...as for the restof the day..I guess we'll just wait and see. - My one sis-in-law, and my Mother-in-law, brought me flowers today. - It means so much that they did that, and that they know just how hard it will be for me tomorrow. It's nice to have lovely little surprises like that in life. It lifts me up and means so much to me. I'm sure we will be spending some time with my Father-in-law too. That will be nice. - I got a special card for him, just from me this year. I also got one and sent it to my Uncle, Captian Nemo's older brother. tomorrow will be tough for him too. I wanted him to know just how much he means to me. I'm so greatful to have him as my Uncle and Godfather, and to have had Captian Nemo for my Dad. - Well, I do hope that everyone else out there has a wonderful Father's Day with their own Dad - and if they are also no longer here with us, that they are able to take a little time out, and honor their Dad in some way. - And if you have a strained relationship with your Dad, ( with exceptions to those who have had an abusive relationship of course), I really encourage you to reach out to him - Father's Day is a great day to do so. Remember, when our loved-ones are no longer here on earth with us, the thing we want most is to have had more time with them - (which there will never be enough of) - don't live with regrets, life is far too short Mateys.

Your dad knows you miss him and you will be reunited one day in pirate heaven. He was blessed to have had such a loving daughter.

We share similar sentiments PG. I wish I had spend more time with them. I lost my mom 18 yrs back and my dad 9 years ago. You realize their importance when you dont have them. Blessed are those who have them with them. Love you Dad, Love you Mom.

I just lost my very best friend, I believe the man was a Saint...his charity to others was boundless, his faults extremely few...The hospital killed him, they gave him Coumadin knowing he had an aneurysm, and it warns not to give to anyone with an aneurysm!! He had a blood clot in his lungs and one in a kidney...we both wished we had ordered some Nattokinese...it dissolves a blood clot almost immediately!!!

Oh - Dear Barn - I'm so very sorry
- I do know all about the hospitals screwing things up - sometimes I wish I could have just picked my dad up and walked out of there with him!
- Also wish I had known to ask for the Nattokinese for him - as he also had blood clos and that was why he went into the hospital a couple of times. - they did give him soemthing - but it was just a blood thinner - why do they do this sort of crap? - and why don't they even tell you all the stuff you need to know - like asking for a particular medicine that would actually help the patient!
*sigh*

Big Pharma tells them what to use, and never never even suggests a natural substance!!!

Don't live with regret- boy, that makes a lot of sense. Checking out your blog over the past year, it was evident you loved your dad very much. Importantly, you showed your love with words and deeds. You did well, and surely you can sit back and reminisce with a smile on your face. I wish I had your gift- the memory of a good dad and a good relationship with him. Just treasure it.

Now that is a disturbing story. My initial thought is that you must live in a third world country with poor medical care. But it doesn't take a medical genius to know how to properly prescribe cumadin. I have been taking my mom to various physicians. These men and women, no doubt well trained and intelligent, sit down at a computer and ask questions, all along inputting the answers into a computer program which then spits out advice. I've said nothing, but it is a reminder that a physician is not necessarily all knowing nor foolproof, and therefore we need to consider their advice with a wary eye. Too bad for your friend. I hope his family secured the services of a an equally imperfect professional, a lawyer.
