Thank You

From the bottom of my heart I want to thank everyone for the prayers, thoughts, cards, texts, emails, etc. for myself and my family. Kelly has been great with keeping everyone updated. Losing my dad is the hardest thing I have had to deal with in my life so far and a lot of it is still not real to me. Having the support that I have been given has been wonderful and means so much to me. Thank you all for that. My dad was an amazing fighter and he taught me so much and showed me so many things and what really is important. I just want to share with everyone something my dad used to say all the time and part of my eulogy at his service on Wednesday.

"Cancer is so limited. It cannot cripple Love. It cannot shatter Hope. It cannot corrode Faith. It cannot destroy Peace. Cancer cannot kill Friendships. It cannot suppress Memories. It cannot silence Courage. It cannot invade the Soul. It cannot steal Eternal Life. It cannot conquer the Spirit."

We do not know where he got this from but these words were in my dad's heart. He spoke them often and because of his fighting spirit I will carry that with me forever. 

I'm not sure how often I'll be on the boards for awhile but you all are in my thoughts. Please know that.

Heather,

You and your family continue to be in my thoughts. My Dad was my emotional center and I miss him to this day. It has been over 12 years. But my comfort is that I actually feel him with me all the time. Somehow, I feel your Dad will remain with you too. If you need anything, please let me know. It can be anything as serious or as silly as you need.

Heather, we don't know each other except from reading posts but I certainly thought about you.  I lost my dad in 1999 - and still miss him.  He also died of cancer - he was 70.  I am just SO SAD he never met my son but we always tell Ethan he would have been Grandpa Harveys' favorite.

Peace

E
