This past Friday…. my Daddy died.
I don’t even know what else to say after those words.
Filed in Life, Me | 37 dorito bits so far
I am the average 40-something woman, trying to juggle life as a wife and mother, working outside the home, and trying to keep it all in balance. It's not easy - some days are better than others. But, that's what it's all about right? I have a really AWFUL short-term memory so my family and friends lovingly call me "Dory", whom you might remember as that cute but forgetful little blue fish in "Finding Nemo". Feel free to pop over to the *About* page for more tidbits!

Nanion 25 Sep 2008 at 9:41 pm 36Our precious Dory as always is the light of our lives…….she has 3
sisters and 1 brother who shares that light. Each with their own very special flavor. I wish to thank each and every one of you who has responded so kindly.
Shannon has to be one of the most precious angels of our Lord. To make such a sacrifice to be here………and then to edit and put the video of Dory’s father to the beautiful finished product. What a talent! Each and everyone of you are wonderful. We appreciate you to no end.
We all share being human, what we do with being that is up to us.
I believe each of you are strong, caring, outstanding people. And as
Dory’s dad used to say……..Keep on keeping on!!!!!!!
