I got the call tonight. My Dad died this evening at 6:30 ET. My sister called me while I was in Spanish Class. My heart is broken. My Dad was a great man. He helped my Mom raise us six children. He was an only child, but he has 15 grandchildren. He knew about my scholarship and Aaron graduating in May. I want to finish this semester strong in his honor.
Dad, I love you. I'm glad you're not suffering anymore. Thank you for being the best Dad ever.
I did it!
The happy graduate

Welcome to a Blog for Older Non-Traditional Students
Being an older nontraditional student is not always easy as we try to negotiate through a sea of younger faces and attitudes. We think things like, "Will I be able to relate to these 'kids' and fit in?", "Do I remember how to study, write papers, etc.?", "How do I apply for Financial Aid?", "What if I fail a class?". Life is an adventure to be lived - nothing ventured, nothing gained. As nontrads, our goal is still the same as our younger counterparts - to get our degree, whether we are on campus or online.

Oh, hun...I'm soooooo sorry about your loss. You have my condolensces. Continue to think of all the fond memories of your dad and how loved you are by him. He is and will always be so proud of you even looking down from heaven. And as you said, he doesn't have to suffer anymore. You and your family will be in my prayers. Stay strong for your father and try to stay focused for school.
Love in Christ,
~Ray~
