LIFE JUST ISN'T FAIR

So I'm sure you all know that my life has changed quite a bit in this last month. There for is the reason why I haven't been on here for awhile keeping you up to date on what I have been doing. As I'm sure most of you know my father passed away on July 3rd from Metastatic Melanoma cancer. He fought a short 8 month battle from the day we found out it his illness was cancer. The first few months were a bit hard and the last month or so he was in quite a bit of pain. The tumors in his small intestine, and liver were taking over his body, there was no way that Chemo would be able to help, the cancer was more less living off the chemo. So on the 6th of June the doctors gave my dad weeks to live and from there hospice came into our home and helped make my fathers last weeks some what comfortable. It's just so hard to realize that he is not with us on earth no more, but instead he is watching us from above. I do know that he is no longer in pain or suffering no more. I couldn't thank the AV Fire Department, AV Ambulance, Chickasaw County Rescue Squad and all of my dads family and friends for all the support and prayers they have given my family. My father was truely a hero and made a mark on so many people. He is going to be missed by so many people. He will always be my guardian angel. LOVE YOU DAD!!! Besides all the sappy things in my life, this past weekend we had my mom's family reunion. We all camped at Black Hawk Park in Cedar Falls. It was a good time. Played a lot of Bean Bags, and just enjoyed catching up with everyone. It was a perfect weekend for camping. This Thursday Adam and I will be flying out to New York for 5 days. We are super excited!! It will be Adam's first time out there so I quite anxious to see what his reaction will be. We'll be staying with some good friends of mine. I will be sure to post some pictures when we return. Well I feel that I have written a book now, and should probably get some sleep so I'm gonna sign off now. Hope everyone is doing well!!! Keep me posted on what is going on with all of you!!
