On August 29th 2012, my husband and I were sitting in our trailer on Galiano Island …. after an exhausting day of work in the garden field … We decided to pull out a picture of my Dad and I. I sat there and a sudden deluge of tears began…I was unable to stifle my tears. It was about 10pmish … and about 2 hours later I discovered my Dad passed away. It was that exact time that we were looking at this picture when he was passing. 💓 That event crushed me, and shortly after I was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis. Not surprised that I got a chronic illness.. when I was clearly depressed, that my Dad left this dimension too early. 💓 Thank you Dad for being my guiding light, and showing me that the true path to happiness is to follow your heart and never give up on your dreams!!! 💓 My father died of cancer, and shortly after I got Ankylosing Spondylitis. Who knew that this dark, depressing series of events would lead me to what I am doing now!!! I would have never got into Ayurvedic Medicine and plant based therapy if it was not for my Dad passing away of cancer … and then me getting ill with AS. 💓 Thank you Dad for always sharing your wisdom and compassion with me. I loved talking to you….and we always had the same politics … lol … 💓 I feel your presence everyday, thank you for being such a loving Father. Love you Dad!! OHM
