dear dad
i know we put this blog up to keep up dates on you, but i am writting this to you. i want you to know how much i love you and how much i have enjoyed taking care of you the past three years, taking you to all of you appointment, to the stores, the bank, where ever you need brent or i to take you. iam writting this because at this point in you illness i am really stuggling with my emotions and i am having a hard time watching the different phases you are going through the past three weeks have really bee a roller coaster for you and it is really hard for me to watch. i am sure it is for jerri to. i don't know how to express my feeling the anger i feel, the saddness the hurt knowing that their is nothing more i can do to help you, their is no phone call i can make to help the pain go away, their is to phone call to make to help you breath any better, the good old days all i had to do was make a phone call i can't do that anymore, i feel so helpless just like you. dad a couple of months ago i came to your house in tears, it was the day they told me i had to put you on hospice, you toke my hand and said hon, you have cried so many tears over me, i said no dad not enough you just laughed. i can't stop the tears i don't know how. i think the love we all feel for you is coming through me and the time you and i spend together because i am not strong anymore, i have to lean on jerri now, i have been through way to much with you to be strong for you anymore dad. my heart is aching for you,.

  2. Kelli your one of the strongest women I know. I can not tell you how greatful I am to have you in my life and in Grandpas life. You have done SO much. MORE then anyone could have ever asked of you. You are an inspiration to us all. I love you so much and I admire all that you have done and all that your doing. You have been there for Grandpa from the beginning and I can't tell you how thankful I am for everything you have done. I wish I could have done more to help you. I am so glad Jerri is here to help take some burden off you. I am glad you have her to lean on, you need a strong shoulder just like we all do. Thank you both for everything and for keeping me, as well as everyone else, up to date with Grandpa. I know he appreciates you all.
