Guest guest Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Last Saturday our youngest daughter got married and I had the job of walking her down the aisle. She was absolutely radiant! I was hurting so bad, I was just a drag. While waiting, someone brought me a chair. I certainly needed it! Then I think she walked me rather than me walking her. I sat down through the ceremony and then had Betty rush me back home. I hit the couch while she went to the pharmacy to get my latest med. I didn't think I was that bad until I saw pics of the ceremony. My face was full of pain, and not even a hint of a smile. I'm feeling better as the days go on, but missed a lot by 'not being there'. It's a shame there aren't any do-overs. Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Dennis, I know it is so hard to have a good time when in pain. I seem to feel that way all the time. I try to get out of everything, or if I do go, I'm waiting to leave. I know your daughter was so beautiful, and all she wanted was her Dad to be there, and you made it down that aisle. Don't beat yourself up Dennis, your daughter loves you, and always know that. Please, know that I understand, and here if you need to talk some time, hugs Tawny > Last Saturday our youngest daughter got married and I had the job of walking > her down the aisle.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Dear Dennis, Congratulations on your daughter's marriage, and I'm sorry you were in so much pain. But you know what? Your daughter was probably just happy that you were there with her. I didn't have a father growing up, so I know she was happy. I hope your med is helping you now though.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Hi Dennis. I lost my father in 1991. I got married in 2002 and would have given anything to have my father there. My father was a bilateral below the knee amputee, was a diabetic, and had a terrible heart ailments, but it wouldn't have mattered to me if they had to bring him in in his bed. Just to have him there would have meant the world to me. I idolized my father, and it broke my heart he wasn't there physically to walk me down the isle, but I know he was there spiritually. So trust me when I say....your daughter was very happy you were there to share her special day with her. Best wishes to all -- [ ] Re: Saturday wedding Dear Dennis, Congratulations on your daughter's marriage, and I'm sorry you were in so much pain. But you know what?
