[> [> [> Now...I know you're not really complaining. I'd give anything to see my dad again. I'm looking forward to heaven. He was a farmer and always smelled like sweat and the earth. Sounds stinky, but it wasn't. I always remember that smell when I hugged him. So.. can't wait to see AND smell (how weird is THAT) my dad in heaven! Woo Hoo! What a gift. As far as what I got... Hmm... I guess I didn't get anything. But.. that's o.k. I know Hubby loves me (not that I would have MINDED chocolates!). Oh! I know! He fixed my pooter after I did a MAJOR delete! Gack! And he didn't even fuss at me! LOL! -- Luoodles who misses her dad and thinks of him every single day. Already 10 years gone by, 22:42:26 02/16/05 Wed [1]

[> [> [> [> Awwwwwwww.... your dad must have been a wonderful person Lu. I know you'll get your dream come true to see him someday (not soon!--sorry, we want you here for awhile longer!). My dad called me one night after I had had REALLY bad day, complete with crying jag. Anyway...he wanted to say hi and asked how I was. I said "I had a bad day." Then the PA came on because he was in an airport (he uses his cellphone in the strangest places) and we couldn't talk any longer. I felt so bad knowing "my daddy" had called to say he loves me and all he heard was I had a rotten day. Of course, that set the tears off again......by the end of the evening, after I had cried over the weirdest things--I was laughing at myself -- On a Tangent C, 19:13:56 02/18/05 Fri [1]

[> [> [> [> Lu, Dad was a farmer too. I remember some kind of grease smell from the machinery. He smelled like dirt and was always sun burned. In my dreams he is always ok and didn't really die. -- PB, 22:46:21 02/18/05 Fri [1]
