Thank You…

Published by Dakota at 2:52 pm under Uncategorized

…to all who posted about my dad’s passing. Under most circumstances, I don’t know that I would have posted something so personal and bound to dredge up memories for a lot of folks who read my blog.

Alas, I felt dad was due homage for all the snarking I’ve done in the past. Dad was a good egg, while he didn’t understand most of my snark, he took it like a champ, and it was only fitting I pay proper respects for all the good things he was responsible for in my life.

Yep, he made me nuts with some of his quirks. Yep, he made me nuts whenever he and my mother were together. Yep, he made me nuts. LOLLOL. But I miss that nuts :)

I just know dad’s upstairs with Uncle Harry–they’re sitting on a big old puffy cloud, their feet dangling and he’s looking down on me and mom, yelling, “God damn it, HOW COULD YOU THROW OUT MY MAGAZINES FROM 1912? Jesus Christ, Eleanor!” LOLLOL.

Dad was a hoarder of sorts–not to a debilitating degree, but a hoarder nonetheless. he kept useless stuff, logged useless info, and in general was probably as eclectic as you can get. I just know he’s cursing mom for trying to keep herself busy by sorting through all that and throwing a lot of it away (EEK!).

So thank you. From the bottom of my heart. For your cards, flowers, donations to various causes in dad’s honor, your emails, your tweets, your FB posts and the posts here on my blog. Your support has been overwhelming and so very appreciated :)

Dakota :)

    I missed your original post (didn’t see it until you sent the link to this one through Glamazombies), but I wanted to add my condolences. I’m so glad you’re finding memories that include laughter in what must be a very, very difficult time. As Nia said — (((HUGS))).

    {{{HUGS}}}} I know how you feel– Dad’s are a strange lot. We love them, but they drive us nuts. I can’t imagine he wasn’t proud of you, even if he didn’t get your snarkiness:) I must say though. She threw out his magazines? OMG what was she thinking? A person must respect those old books and magazines for Pete’s sake! I’m sure I would have liked your dad as one fellow pack rat to another:)

    And thank you–I’m certain Dad’s beaming at your comment. LOL

    I think you did great in honoring him. And what are our parents there for if not to drive us nuts? I know mine did (do), and I’m keeping with tradition and driving mine insane as well. :) Big hugs and know that we’re all always here for you.
