Lisa, I know that there is nothing that anyone can say or do to ease the pain that youre feeling. (I lost my dad 10/04) Please know that everyone is here for you to lean on. I know it will be difficult for you not to rely on food to comfort you. When you feel like you want to eat for comfort, please either come to the board or call one of us. (My number is always available to anyone who needs a shoulder any time of the day or night) I wish you well with your surgery and know now that your father will be watching over you to make sure you'll be safe. Take care, dear Lisa. HUGSSSSSSSSSS Laurie
