Salt Of The Earth Salt Of The Sea

I write this post today with a heavy heart. .Three years ago today  I lost my my dear  father  to Bladder Cancer.He fought a very long and courageous battle.Sure, the pain lessens, but never goes away.There is a void in my life that can never be filled,but I am able to take comfort in the fact he is with God and all the angels in heaven...My father was the "Salt of The Earth".A man of  integrity and moral fortitude.A wonderful  husband, father, grand father,.a Madison Ave success story,prolific writer. and  lover of the sea While there is nothing that can  REALLY prepare you  for handling a loved one with a terminal illness and  the loss of a parent or any loved one,there are some things I learned  during the course of my father's illness and especially near the end of his life.

Pray Daily
Love Deeply
Listen Carefully
Speak Quietly
Laugh when you can
Forgive Easily
SAY EVERYTHING




The Love of his life for 52 years



The greatest dad



Always at the helm

I love and miss you so much daddy.
