Deja Vous Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I had this dream last night about my father. He is at his cabin in Parker for Feb, and I guess since I called him last night he was the last thing on my mind.. Anyhow.. during my phone conversation I metioned some to the allias names as I chattered away.. Then I talked about the shoots, the parties, reloading, and our party line... the right.. lol.. Somewhere in our conversation he said.. So when will I meet some of these characters... So,,,, my dream then lead up to him meeting some of ya.. lol... And it was pure silly, because suddenly he was my Dad again at a very young age, and very tough ...... My non drinking, non gambling father was in for a shock as people dressed up in old west attire milled about his backyard drinking, smoking cigars, telling jokes, and calling me Deja instead of my real name, or my nick name.. lol.. The dream was a riot.. Dad was speechless .. lol.. Truth is he would love ya'll .. but man was it funny... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad was speechless .. lol.. Truth is he would love ya'll .. but man was it funny... So how about you start planning a fourth of July party for him and get all the Cow-folks to come to the BBQ! Just do it - you'll treasure the memory the rest of your life. Shadow Catcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deja Vous Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 I have thought about that.. it could be fun.. but there are certainly people I would like for him to meet.. I hope to get that done by the summer.. but only time will tell.. When your father is 91 you move slowly, cuz he does too. Right now he is busy with AZ kids. and in a month he will be back home in Hesperia looking for my company. At 91 he is a tough old guy for sure.. but I think he might like meeting a few of my friends now. He is pretty hard on me, always has expected a lot more than I could ever deliver. And expected me to be a lot harder than I can be. Being the youngest has best a test, I tell ya.. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the one thing that makes me so sad is my first husband.. He had cancer and I was so SURE we could beat it.. but he hurt, and he gave up and he took his own life the one thing you should nto do per God. It was pretty hard to accept that.. And to not have the chance to try to make the whole miracle thinger work.. I believe in miracles.. and he took that away from me.. along with the best love I ever.. had .. I know now that feeling of love, compassion, sparks flying, and wanting to be there forever will never happend again.. I thought it would but this year I kind grew up a bit I guess and listened to other people who kind reminded me of those feelings.. So, I know God has some plan for me and I am hanging on for it.. I would be a nun but its kinda too late for that.. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be a nun but its kinda too late for that.. lol Deja, I have learned that if you stop looking for love, it WILL find you. I was not looking for love when I met my wife. I wanted 3 things. To dance, drink and listen to the musice. And that's all !!! Now look what happened !!! I was at a truck stop out side Washinton D.C. on the outer beltway on July 4th, 1990. I was out of hours and why too tried so I shut down and got some sleep. Before I did, I called Dad, wishing him a happy 4th and went to bed. Saw him on July 5th. As I was leaveing he said, "Take care son, I love ya !" That was a warning sign as Dad never said anything like that. July 6th, at 10:00 am he had a massive heart implostion, meaning his heart colasped on it's self. Cherish every minuite you have with you're Dad !!
