Facebook Post: December 31, 2009

Dear Dad,

Today is the last day of 2009. I never in my wildest dreams thought that I would lose you this year. I never thought that I would get that phone call from mom and Aunt Cindy saying you had a stroke. But the most devastating news was when I was told you had a blood infection that was taking over your entire body and there was nothing that the doctors could do for you. In a matter of hours you were taken from me. When I celebrated the New Year last year, you never once crossed my mind. I thought you would always be here. To laugh with, talk to and touch. Today I am just troubled by the fact I am suppose to have my New Years Resolutions, a fresh start all that stuff but you aren’t here. How the hell does a person deal with that? I keep busy, I read all the grief books, I pray to God every day, but the pain is still there and you are gone. I won’t go into this New Year the same as before. You truly don’t know what you have until it’s gone and you never know what is in our future…good or bad. I love you Daddy so much! I look forward to the day when I can see you again!

Jenny
