I remember reading your post about your Dad, and can only imagine the heartache you go through on a daily basis. So young and when you referred to him as, '..my handsome dad..' really put an empathetic spin on it because I imagine going through this with my Dad, who is close to the same age :(<br /><br />You're amazing and so strong to share this with us. Even though we've never met, can I say I'm proud of you?? Proud almost seems like boastful word when this is all you, but if I can say it on a completely neutral ground, it is what it is. You're SO AWESOME for doing this. BRAVO, Yen, bravo. <br /><br />PS - love the sign of the boys putting up YOUR sign.

I'm a bit emotional at the moment!<br /><br />Good to hear that your Dad now has a place in the home and the care isn't falling solely on your Mum and the family's shoulders. It's a terrible disease but those days when he has a smile for you or a kiss must feel like winning the lottery. <br /><br />The very best of luck with the shop, you have a natural talent for vintage/thrifting as we've been reading on the blog all these years. I think I've only commented once before, on a post about your Dad but I do read every single post.<br /><br />I'm thrilled for you and your new venture and hope you'll still have a little time to update us all via the blog!<br /><br />Louise xWhat Lou Wore 365https://www.blogger.com/profile/17459151735002802694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408718927772235297.post-87419987033163092172013-12-04T12:14:57.012-05:002013-12-04T12:14:57.012-05:00Funny-You are earning what your daddy gave you.

Be funny? Be thoughtful? Be both? Funny-ful?<br /><br />Thoughtful: The last time I saw your dad I was over at your house, I think for my wedding dress and your mom and dad "stopped by" to give you those Grafton plates they bought at a yard sale. Then you gave me one cause I appreciated it. I saw it on my shelf the other night and it reminded me.<br /><br />Your parents passed down their skills and now you have a friggen store...a store, you have a store. You are a shop owner, a store. It's real and it exists and it's so cool...<br /><br />So..in essence...this is your dad's store too. :)<br />Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14515338152024357934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408718927772235297.post-72080731677711048502013-12-04T11:47:03.008-05:002013-12-04T11:47:03.008-05:00My heart goes out to you.
