Birthday and Dad

My last blog was 2 days before my birthday, so that was 10 days ago. There's been alot happening since then.

My birthday was happy sad, good hard, still blessed because I know that I am loved! When I got home from work, I walked into the house and found flowers!! Every birthday for 26 yrs. Tim has always brought me flowers, along with lots of love, hugs and kisses! My children made sure that the tradition of love was continued.

I saw the flowers and then I saw Josiah coming up the stairs, he had driven home from Kelowna to give me roses and bring the gift from all 4 children. I cried when I saw him and he gave me a BIG hug! Joel had sent a bouquet of flowers, stargazer lilies, because they were Tim's favorite and roses because I love them, I cried again. Rae, gave me a painting with roses, to always remember how Daddy always gave me roses, I cried again. I am so blessed to have such thoughtful loving children!!

I cried because I miss Tim. He was always the biggest part of my birthday, from the first kiss in the morning to the last kiss at night. I was Queen for the day!! I missed him, I cried myself to sleep that night, but I am okay because I know that tears are healing.

It really was a good day. I got a dozen yellow roses from my big sister Marlene. I had 3 of my special friends take me out for lunch and gave me precious and thoughful gifts. My Mom and Dad gave me an awesome card and gift. Rae and her boyfriend gave me a special gift and so did the Linde's and my faithful friends the Meads, had a special card and thoughtful gifts! Thanks to you all. Thanks to all of you that were praying for me on this day and thinking about me. Thanks to all the Happy Birthday wishes I got on facebook. I pray blessings on all these people, it made my day special, I know that Tim was smiling down on all of you for blessing his wife!! So, you see it was a happy sad day, but I am blessed.

I ask for your prayers. Dad had a heart attack and was taken by air ambulance to Kelowna. I drove mom down here. We spent most of the day with Dad. He had a number of tests today and we will know the results, hopefully by tomorrow. These tests are to find out what kind of damage was done. On Mon. or Tues. he will have another test to see what kind of blockage there is in his heart, from there they will decide what to do. They will most likely fly him to Vancouver, at least that is what they told us. Only half is heart is working, so they need to be very careful. I love my Dad very much, infact he really is the only Dad that I have had. My Dad died when I was 7. I have had Dad Wade in my life for 27 yrs. We have a special relationship, I love him with all my heart!! We spent most of the day with him. Tonight, him and I laughed so much, I was sweating!! We had a great time! Bless Him! I look forward to visiting him tomorrow. Pray for his recovery, he doesn't need to go party with Tim yet!

Blessings to you all!! In His Arms, Esther
