It sounds to me like she honored her father by not leaving him to suffer. God offers grace and I think she extended grace to her dad.<br /><br />I'm not a fan of Valentine's day either but it isn't because I'm a tortured florist. I'm just always really happy to see this day over with so I can get on with living LOVE 365 without cheesy reminders in the store.<br /><br />Take something ahead of time to help you deal with the soreness - I hate to think of you hurting from making others happy.<br /><br />Hugs Pam! And a grudging Happy Valentine's Day back atcha ;)<br /><br />ps... my eyes teared up when you wrote about your mother. I'm not sure how I'll cope in this world without mind and I hope it is LOOOOOONG into the future before that happens.jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08547226679311827501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8429266377364863842.post-75148079893399086392011-02-14T06:47:35.163-06:002011-02-14T06:47:35.163-06:00With siblings one usually has to be the strong one...With siblings one usually has to be the strong one. When my mother was dying I stayed the night to be with her and help my Dad, I knew she wouldn't last much longer. My younger brothers asked if they should stay but I told them to go home and I would call if need be, I wanted to protect them, I was the strong one.

Even tougher when you're not feeling well.<br /><br />My 2nd daughter is my DPOA-HC because I know she will honor my wishes, whether she agrees with them or not. My oldest daughter is a good, smart, headstrong person who would probably not be able to put her own wishes aside. That's why we pick certain people for these very difficult decisions.<br /><br />I was so sorry to hear about your mom. I'm sure that's a hurt you will carry for always. :-(<br /><br />I hope Valentine's Day is quickly over for you. Then you can rest a bit until Mother's Day! (I had a friend in the flower business.

So I will keep you in my prayers as well, sweet friend.<br />My boss gave me a manicure and a pedicure for Valentine's day.

And I should tell you also that although my Mom is quite ill, 5th stage kidney disease (there are only 5 stages), she is on dialysis and adjusting to it. She is a living miracle and was right on death's door- so each day is a gift, a precious gift that she is rallying and still here and SO brave. Our fear is in knowing that the dialysis is very hard on her other organs, especially her heart and she is quite fragile - but hanging in.

Just remember - tomorrow shall pass. And then it's time for "Pam Time". Treat yourself to something special, MAKE "me time" for yourself.<br /><br />Love you dear friend.
