Eve's side of the story

Eve's side of the story
After three weeks in the Garden of Eden, God came tovisit Eve. "So, how is everything going?" inquired God. "It is all so beautiful, God," she replied. "Thesunrises and sunsets are breathtaking, the smells, thesights, everything is wonderful, but I have just oneproblem. It is these breasts you have given me. The middle one pushes the other two out and I amconstantly knocking them with my arms, catching themon branches and snagging them on bushes. They are areal pain," reported Eve. And Eve went on to tell God that since many other parts of her body came in pairs,such as her limbs, eyes, ears, etc. ... she felt thathaving only two breasts might leave her body more"symmetrically balanced," as she put it. "That is a fair point," replied God, "But it was myfirst shot at this, you know. I gave the animals sixbreasts, so I figured that you needed only half ofthose, but I see that you are right. I will fix it up right away." And God reached down, removed the middlebreast and tossed it into the bushes.Three weeks passed and God once again visited Eve inthe Garden of Eden. "Well, Eve, how is my favoritecreation?" "Just fantastic," she replied, "But forone oversight on your part. You see, all the animalsare paired off. The ewe has a ram and the cow has herbull. All the animals have a mate except me. I feel so alone." God thought for a moment and said, "You know, Eve, youare right. How could I have overlooked this? You doneed a mate and I will immediately create a man from apart of you. Now let's see ... where did I put the useless boob?"> > > Now doesn't THAT make more sense than that storyabout the rib?

The memorial service...

Mom asked all to do something for the service such as sing one of dads favorite songs or something.
Since I am by no means a singer I wrote this straight from my heart and read it at the service:

Dear Dad,
I want you to know how much your love and support has meant to me.

I know that I am who I am today because of the love you have given me and the confidence that you have always instilled.

I knew you were there for me no matter what but I also knew that you believed in me, for that I will be forever grateful.

I realize that not everyone has a father like you and I want you to know that I don't take that for granted.

I will take the guidance that you have shared with me and make it a part of my life always.

I could not have had a better teacher.
Thank you Dad for Everything.

I Love You.

Your baby girl, April

My father, My hero... Forever

RIP DADDY

This is how I want to remember my dad, always helping someone never thinking about himself. He always made sure we were all takin care of before himself. My dad passed on June 25,2007. This was the first day of my new job as a nursing aide. He would have wanted me to go, so I went against my better judgement. I got off work and stopped at the store to buy a birthday cake because it was Bill's birthday. I came straight to mom and dads after that and as I walked into the door, he had just passed and I wasn't there!! I slid down the wall in disbelief. How could I not of been there?

This has played on my mind so much in the passed few weeks since he has passed. I love you Dad and we all miss you...

life...

It sure ain't always easy.
Yesterday my dad had a massive stroke on top of the cancer that he is dying from.
Now he can not tell us what he wants or needs.
he can not talk or use the left side of his body.
ugh.. and to watch my brother pick him up like a baby to put him in bed just made my heart sink.
I can't help but feel nothing but powerless there is nothing anyone can do for him really from this point on. Everyone was there but when you sit there and know there is nothing you can do , we all are going out of our minds.
