My little corner of the world will never be quite the same. At 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 14, 2013, David Curtis Sweeney, my Daddy, succumbed to an aggressive case of lymphoma. We'd received the diagnosis on Thursday evening and hasn't really had time to absorb the enormity of it all before he was gone.
For Daddy's sake, I'm glad he didn't linger. He passed peacefully with Mom holding his left hand and me holding his right. When my turn comes, I hope I'm lucky enough to be wrapped in a comforting blanket of love like the one that surrounded Daddy when he slipped away.
I want to write more about him, and I will. As Mom puts it, "He had a good life, and we had a lot of fun." There are stories to tell, and I will tell them.
But not just yet. First I need to heal a bit more. But the stories will be told soon, I promise. Not today, but soon.

My heart goes out to you and your family. My prayers are with you. There will come a day when you think of your dad you will smile more often then you cry. All the first are very hard, but we get through them and go on to the next. God bless you all.
