I have gotten so personal in this column so many times. I write from my heart many weeks and this week I can’t help but do it again. My father passed away this past Saturday. As he is all that is on my heart this week, my column today is dedicated to him. My father was my rock, he was a comfort to me when my husband passed. He was the strength I needed throughout my life. He was a teacher of so many things throughout my years. He was everything in a way no one else ever could be.
