Re: sad news thank you again and again

Becky, my dad's doc was also surprised by his death, even though he was 82
and had some health problems at the time. I mean the surgeon who had just
operated on him for an incarcerated hernia. He wrote a very nice,
handwritten letter to my mom telling her how stunned and upset he was -
despite my dad's health issues, he'd been impressed by how quickly he
recovered from surgery and Daddy's general zest for life. But Daddy's heart
gave out anyway. Sometimes the doctors just don't know it's coming.

You know, love is a funny thing - in its deepest and most abiding form, it's
almost impossible to convey it in words. You tell one another how much you
care by a thousand little things every day. When I had one health scare, I
asked my husband, "Do you know how much I love you?" "I think so." "Good,
because I don't think I can ever put it into words and it's suddenly very
important to me that you know."

My point is that he suredly DID know how much you loved him. You told him so
in many little ways that you didn't even think about because they just seemed
like the most natural thing to do at the time. You will never stop missing
him and wishing that you'd had more time to do this or that more often, but I
think he knew how much you loved him.

Thank you Harv for you kind words,
I spoke with my husband's doctor this am, he too was surprised but then
again not, he said that Paul had all the strikes against him, diabetes, high
blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking, and over weight. I should have
probably been a little more proactive in his diet, I myself am health nut,
I exercise, go to weight watchers, don't smoke make sure I get to the doctor
whenever I need it. I wish I had made him go more often.
I can only pray he knew how very much I loved him, he was a gem and I wish I
had told him more often, that is one thing I tell everyone I talk to take
every day as if it is your last, make sure you hug and tell your family how
much you love them every day, not just on special occasions.
Thank you again
Becky
