My heart is broken. I had lost someone before that I cared for, but this time I lost my father, April 17th. Calling me a Daddy's Girl puts it mildly. I have other blogs to post and people to write too and so many details to wrap up. We've put up www.glennsutton.com I am truly enjoying reading the things people have posted about my father. Check it out. It's tied into Blogger.com.
I can't get upset here b/c I want to respond to my father's friends on his website with my full emotions. Later I will address how special my father is. Truly a World Class Dad. Completely loved me and I completely loved him and it's all good, except he's gone a little sooner than expected. I don't have the words for the loss yet. I'm working on them, but mostly I remain positive b/c I know our relationship was strong. (for those of you who know my Dad, you understnad why I express the word straawng!)
I have no regrets. I have no unsaid words. I have the wonderful memories and the love & support from him which I hope to carry forward to my loved ones. Everyone should be fortunate enough to have relationships in their lives like this. I truly know what love is.
Of course, that knowledge is either going to make things extremely difficult for me going forward romantically or potentially make my heart so open & pure to that kind of love that I find bliss one day. Dad wrote a song "Find A Man Like Your Daddy." I haven't listened to the words yet, but I'll keep you posted on how it "tunes" out. Thanks for the thoughts & blessings. I've needed them right now and I hope I can return them to you in your time of need.
Love each other. It's important. It's hard. But the reward is truly amazing.
Peace, Love & Happiness,
Lisa

I hope you have been able to listen to the song you talked about. It has been a favorite of mine since I was a child, whenever I first heard it on one of Lynn's albums. It's a wonderful song - very short - but so plainspoken and heartfelt.
