I can relate on so many levels, except ...Beautiful! I can relate on so many levels, except I was only dating my husband for about 3 months when his father suddenly passed away. I remember us receiving the 911 page while we were on a date, that phone call saying to get to the ER immediately, and then his father being rushed past us on the stretcher. I felt like a stranger in a family room filled with loved ones. The tears, the emotions, it was unlike anything I have ever experienced. I felt like I should leave, but my boyfriend at the time (husband of 12 years now) would not allow it. His mother insisted that I stay. It was the most surreal thing ever that I have never been able to explain, yet your blog was so eloquent and well written! Wow.<br /><br />I am so sorry for your loss, hugs to your family. My husband is still in denial about it all, I feel so bad for him.jessica@theunemployedmom.comhttp://theunemployedmom.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328190895973386008.post-58606373545793144562010-08-15T23:32:27.658-04:002010-08-15T23:32:27.658-04:00Such an absolutely beautiful post, Katie.
My favor...Such an absolutely beautiful post, Katie.<br />My favorite part? <br />"Tissues started to be handed out. None came to me." Just lovely.<br />This is unequivocally my favorite piece of your work. <br />My love to you, Cortney, and EddieNicholehttp://inthesesmallmoments.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328190895973386008.post-13858002144116815902010-08-15T19:41:39.584-04:002010-08-15T19:41:39.584-04:00Faces are just that.

Don't you think that's the way it should be, though? To remember vividly the most brilliant point of the person? <br /><br />Katie, thank you for the peek into your heart and your memories. This, I would imagine is a tough one, but you told this story wonderfully.<br /><br />Oh, and congrats on being the newest Bad Ass.

That must have been a very tough situation to be in; wanting to be there to support those you love yet not feeling quite right about your presence. Have I got that right?<br /><br />I understand what you mean about losing his face. I supported my Aunt through my Uncle's illness and she asked me to be with them when he went into a hospice. I was with them at the end and I can remember every detail of that room and what the nurses looked like but I'm beginning to forget what my Uncle looked like. <br /><br />Thinking of you, Cortney and Eddie.
