Hey Robin,

I am so moved that you shared that story. I believe we all have had our share of trials and tribulations from childhood.. otherwise the weight wouldn't serve us well. Oprah says that people don't have a weight problem they have issues that we hide with our weight. Anyway thanks for sharing.. I just loved that your dad came to your rescue. Big hugs. Suzy

Everyone has their own idea of what love means. For some it's the comfort you find in your spouses arms. For some it's the joy you see in the smile of your children or grandchildren. For me, it's those things certainly, but the meaning of love is also found in a single word. Daddy. He is everything to me. Just hearing his voice, and I always feel better. I know that no matter what happens, I am loved. Unconditionally. Just like God loves me. I've spoken many times about my Superhero. And now it's because I am so very worried. He's had three heart attacks in the last year. One was pretty severe, the other two mild. He survived them all, but he is in the hospital once again. For the second time in a single week. He has to have another angioplasty first thing in the morning. I wish so much, I could make him well. I know he is in pain but he will never ever complain. He doesn't like for us to worry. Infact he never even tells us he is in the hospital. We always find out after the fact. I am always so self absorbed. So worried about my own life, and my own health. About my WLS surgery. I feel like I have overlooked him. I'm only typing this now to vent a little, but mostly to ask that anyone who is willing, and of the belief, to please pray for him. I'm not ready to say good bye to my Superhero.

Robin,

I am so so so sorry to hear that your dad is in the hospital. I am so sorry. I will say a prayer for him right now........

Are you coming here to be with him. If you are I would love to sit by your side and hold your hand if you want?

What ever you need just let me know.

Loving on you.

Robin, I am sorry to hear the news of your Superhero. You are so right in that the love we feel from our parents can be so splendid, there are no words and we are so spoiled to have it ! (not everyone does)
Say your prayers, we will too....remind God that you still need your daddy and remember, hugs are free.........you have lots and lots coming your way right now!
Linda

I know what you are going through. My Dad has been sick for three years now in and out of the hospital. They told us a few times that he would never make it, but he has everytime. I think it's the praying that we do and the total determintation that my Mom and I have to get him healthy and back home where he belongs. I am a Daddy's girl to a tee (just ask a few people here), so I know how badly you are hurting right now. If you need anyone to talk to please let me know. I will even come sit with you at the hospital. Hey us Daddy girls have to stick to together afterall we are a special breed of people, because of our Dad's.

Thank you so much Barbara and Linda.... I love you both.... and Jeanie you are SO right. I'm pretty sure my Daddy hung the moon and the stars, and makes the sunshine everyday just for me. I know YOU know what I mean. Love you too.... I tried to call this morning but he must already be having his procedure done. He won't let me come down yet either. And as much as that drives me nuts, I have to respect his wishes, and not cause him any additional stress. It may sound completely irrational.... but I want to have this surgery more then ever now.... I want him to see me pretty again. And I'm just not sure how much longer I can keep him with me. Thank you everyone for the kind thoughts and prayers.... and please keep them going.

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."
