We had a BBq at our house to show our appreciation to everyone who gave of their time and were so willing to spend time with my Dad while he was in the hospital.As my Mom always said Dad had many angels and double angels. You never realize how much you appreciate or need your extended family until someone is very ill. I don't know what we would of done without so many people to lend a helping hand in any way they could. Even though not everyone was in attendance a great time was had by all. I'm sure my Dad would of been pleased to see everyone gathered together enjoying the night. I still miss my Dad's presence at any function we have but at some point in time someone will say something or make reference to one of my Dad's famous comments(and he had lots of them) and it makes me feel like he is still very much with us. So a personal thank you to everyone for everything you do and continue to do I appreciate you more each day and am glad you are my family.Thank goodness for Family.

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.
