Family


I'm not really even sure where I'm to begin on this one.....
I can't say I have writers block, cause I have tons of blogs I could be writing, not only finishing up the Honeymoon Derek and I were able to take in early February, but also about the busy lives we have had over the past few months, but as I sit back and think about what has happened, those past blogs in my head, just don't seem as important anymore.  The past few weeks, or I should say months have been totally focused on Family, the family I was married into, the Blume Family.

We found our about 6weeks ago that my husbands father (my father-in-law) was diagnosed with Lung Cell Cancer.  And while I won't go into all the details of his condition, we as a family at the time, really did not know just how little time we did have left with him.  4weeks, almost to the day, he was with us, and then he was gone.  I wish I could turn back time, and spend more time with him, take more pictures of him, and just let him know how much he meant to us all.  Dad died surrounded by his loving family on June 7th, and we said our last goodbyes on June 11th.  



I started this blog only a few weeks after Derek's dad had died, and there is not one day that goes by that we don't think about him, and the wonderful man that he was.  I cherish all the years I was able to know him, spend time with him, and to be called his daughter-in-law.  He was an amazing man, and he had many friends, family, and loved ones.  He could make you laugh, with kind nature, and good jokes.  Makes me smile to have known such a wonderful man, I miss him so much.  I know every time I see a rainbow he will be there, smiling down on us all.
