Celebration of Life/Celebrate Life

Wow. What a beautiful way to send my Dad off to heaven. First off thank you to everyone who showed up to Celebrate my Dad’s amazing life. I fully feel like we gave him the celebration he truly deserved. Music, smiles, laughter, stories and even some snacks. Thank you for everyone who helped my Dad get the celebration that he specifically asked for. This is something he always talked about since first becoming diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis. He never wanted a sad funeral of tears. He always smiled through the pain and tried to make sure everyone else laughed too. I guess that is why he gifted us with his playlist.

Thank you all for sharing your amazing memories of my Dad with me. I have been reading all of them and I cycle between laughing and crying. He is such a special person I am so blessed to have as my Dad. Farrrrrr too many of you said that my Dad got you to buy way more records than you came in for LOL. Ohh my Dad in a nutshell. More than you signed up for but in all the right ways. I wanted to come on here and thank each and every one of you for being here for me during this extremely difficult period in my life. I feel like I understand and accept the emotions and then the complete opposite feeling hits me. Why? Why My Dad? I am continuing to pray and try my best. I ask that you all continue to do the same. Play your music loud and joyously for my Dad of course but it is also okay to acknowledge our tremendous loss and feel hurt. Please remember to celebrate the little things that make life so special. Celebrate Life.

I will come back soon to upload some of the photos, memories shared and more of his playlists of course. I love you all and so does my Dad. Peace

P.S. Please email me all your photos!! TY
