Well, today isn’t the greatest day. My father passed away last night at 11:40pm. I had the great honor of being with my dad almost every day for this past year and a half, and many people have told me that he was really proud of me for stepping up and taking care of the practice when he became ill. I always think that’s odd when people say that because it wasn’t a sacrifice at all to do that for him. In fact, I feel like I’m the one who benefited from the experience. My dad was such a positive man, and everyone he met loved him. He was a social butterfly, and he loved people. Everywhere we went, he knew someone. Even last night as I was going to his hospital room to see him one last time after his death, 2 of the nurses knew him because they were patients, or had a family member who was a patient. He was probably the best chiropractor I’ve ever known, and I’m not just saying that because he’s my dad. That man had a gift that most doctors will never know. He had a connection with people that went beyond physical touch, and you knew it the minute he put his hands on you. I loved working next to him every day, and together we made a great team. In fact, I think the hardest thing for me is going to be looking into the next adjusting room and not seeing him there every day. I don’t want to keep writing because it’s too sad right now, but you should know that we lost a great man last night, and I have no doubt that my dad fulfilled his purpose on this earth – his presence here made this world a better place …
