I knew this weekend would be sad because we would be remembering the day 10 years ago when our world was forever changed by the terrorist attacks on 9/11. I had no idea that my world would again be forever changed this year.
Saturday my step-dad was at work in PA at an oil rig. He collapsed in the yard and never regained consciousness. We have learned that he had a massive heart attack. After only 40 minutes the doctors new they couldn’t save him.
My mother … I can’t even begin to explain, understand, or fathom her heart break. She’s devastated. We all are.
We weren’t close in a way that I shared confidences with him but I loved him like a father. He was there for me like my own dad NEVER was. I loved him because he loved my mom. I loved him because he was a great father to my little sister and loved her like his own. He was an hard working, loving, caring man that would do anything for anyone.
He should be flown home today. This afternoon I’m going to the funeral home with my mom because she wants to be the first one to see him.
Please, keep us in your prayers. We need comfort, peace, and a whole lot of strength right now. Please pray for my mom. She has lost her best friend and love of her life.
