Guest guest Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 I know Dad is having all the ice cream he wants in heaven. It is one of my favorites also. Happy Birthday!!!!!!! Jacqui in So Florida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Today, October 19th is my Dad's 89th birthday. I am sure there is plenty of ice cream and cake in heaven in his honor. Dad died shortly before his 88th birhday. I also want everyone, who has supported me, to know I am really doing well. I realize that during the first year there were many firsts celebrated without my Dad. i.e. the first Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, summer holidays, family birthdays and anniversaries (sp) esp. Dad's death. I met these special occasions with apprehension, but with your help, I got through all of them. Surprisingly, after the first anniversary of Dad's death, I felt like a weight weight had lifted from me. I just want to thank everyone for your wonderful support. If you can, treat yourself to my Dad's very favorite food, ice cream, and raise your spoon in a birthday toast to my Dad, Dick Deverell. Sincerely, Gerry Daughter & caregiver of Dick Deverell, who died 9/11/05 after a more than 4 yr. battle with LBD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Aw Gerry, how sweet to hear from you. We just went through the first Thanksgiving without Mom, first in the series of special times to get through, so I know what you mean. Ice cream all around in honour of your dad's birthday. I look forward to the feeling you describe of the weight being lifted off you. The journey isn't over yet. To Dick Deverell! , Oakville Ont.
