Nobody's Little Girl Anymore

Nobodys Little Girl Anymore is a memoir centered on a life-altering event of loss and letting go healing and becoming thankful for everything in ones life. This book details the journey of watching a close loved-one wither away remembering all he did and gave and learning how to move on with that void in my life.My dad was everything to me. Hero protector teacher disciplinarian father papa jokester and friend. We shared a very special bond but it wasnt until his terminal diagnosis that I realized he was bigger than life to me and that he molded my entire being into someone who understood so much about whats really important. He always led by example: How to appreciate the simple things in life how to take nothing for granted how to die with grace and dignity. He did all of this with a bit of sarcasm and brutal honesty. As I sat and watched this giant of a man fade away before my very eyes in a very short amount of time I was able to capture my every thought and memory through journaling. I was able to take each day and digest it as best as I could. I took the time to reflect and see with fresh eyes all the things that my father had instilled in me from my earliest memory to the very end. He imparted such profound yet simple observations and wisdom until he could no longer speak. Thats who my dad was. And as I mourn and will continue to do so my life moves on without him. I sadly come to realize I am nobodys little girl anymore.
