I knew you would succeed - you are so talented and have that drive to succeed. Your father IS proud of you. Thank you for sharing your reflections.

Not to get all spiritual or anything, but I do believe that people we love never really leave us. They give us strength and inspiration whenever we listen to our hearts. After all, that&#39;s where they on :)Tami Brasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04574815940113166503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525349845667425579.post-33814528485711855722009-10-30T07:21:21.552-05:002009-10-30T07:21:21.552-05:00Thanks for sharing Naomi!<br /><br />Those of us that &quot;watched&quot; (that doesn&#39;t sound right) things unfold never doubted things would swing for the better. Having gone through something very similar myself with both the death of my father due to cancer and leaving a career at what others considered &quot;the peak&quot;, I know those emotions. Not only do they make you stronger, the experiences continue to push you in positive directions down the road.John Pedersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05720047066123851541noreply@blogger.com
