How you can help

My father passed after only being in hospital for 28 hours and 55 minutes on my daughters 6th birthday...so my husband, my kids and I spent her whole birthday in the icu, only after the lady at the main entrance desk made my children stand outside with my husband in the freezing cold and they remained outside while I went up and made the toughest and easiest choice of my life to take my daddy off life support. We discussed all the final descions for the past two years, everytime I went to his camper I cried cause he would keep talking plans but November he said you ready , "ready for what dad" i responded. For this final ride. Little did he know he was coming home for another 2 months before it was really the final ride.... while he was in the hospital dying his apartment was getting robbed of my children's items to be inherited and all his personal stuff like his birth certificate, real id, a gun, stuff from the army, his shoes, money out of his wallet for his date with my baby girl to get her a make over and take her shopping at the mall to encourage her strong self esteem and encourage behavior of not excepting nothing less than her worth but showing her how a man is supposed to treat a lady...and except nothing less. He was always a great father even though he struggled with me even though I was his only child he struggled after splitting with my mother and had to enforce, some would think overreacted consequences for my behavior. I FORGAVE HIS DESCIONS AND DECIDED I WAS ACTUALLY GRATEFUL FOR HIS ACTIONS THAT KEPT MY UNBORN CHILD ALIVE... WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH IT. My whole life my dad was an over the road trucker and he dedicated his whole paycheck to ensure I was cared for properly and by many.... someone always ended up sabotaging anything good we had going for us. My father continued to be a overly excited papaw to my kids and in regret of my upbringing he decided time with us was more important than the checks he was sending. Which I'm so glad he did cause my babies loved my daddy so much, which makes it harder now to tell them everyday that I ain't sure when papaws ashes are coming home or when we will have the celebration of life because I was informed that the insurance company would contest the insurance claim because of him only having the insurance plan for 10 months. SO EVERYDAY SOMETHING GETS ADDED ON. REGUARDLESS WHERE OR HOW IT GETS ADDED TO THE TOTAL AND MAKES MY FUND RAISERS GO UP AND PEOPLE ONLY KNOW THE ME FROM 14 YEARS AGO... NOBODY WANTS TO LET ME BE IN CONTROL OF MONEY TO DO WHAT I NEED TO BECAUSE THEY DONT KNOW THE ME THAT STANDS HERE TODAY... THE ME THAT MY DADDY WATCHED PROUDLY WALK ACROSS THE STAGE TO ACCEPT MY ACCOCIATES IN HUMAN SERVICES AND APPLY TO FINISH WITH A BACHELORS RIGHT BEFORE HE PASSED AND NOW I CAN'T EVEN LEAN ON HIM WHILE I WHISPER IN HIS EAR.... "I was excepted into college again daddy" but I know he hears it now and I just have to get his final wishes done and make him proud he raised me. Cause I'm proud he raised me no matter how hard life gets. I'm used to struggling, I will overcome and accomplish all tasks at hand even if I have to get 3 jobs.... please help me celebrate my fathers life... the strongest man I ever knew...I used to be his angel but now he's mine.

We're planning a celebration of life around June so anyone interested even if you had problems with him come get closure when we have it, nothing more relaxing than a motorcycle ride and thats what is ending his celebration of life with everyone but me... I hopefully will be driving his financed bike.. but my celebration of his life will never end cause I couldn't handle that... so everyday will be reminders my daddy was here and he was amazing and everyone should know. Thank you for your time, you are amazing too, never settle for less...
