I am very sorry for your loss. I dread the day when I must say goodbye to my parents, if even for a little while. Be proud that your father raised a wonderful daughter. He did good.
So sorry...
I send my sincere condolences to you and your family.
Thank you all.
awww i'm sorry to hear your dad passed away greeny.
big warm hugs my friend.
As I've already said. Im sorry Beth. My thoughts are with you and your family.
So sorry for your loss Greeny,,,
I know you'll miss your Dad forever, but I hope that, over time, you'll remember the good times more than the painful end.
Just about when we think we're all grown up, we lose a parent and feel like a lost orphan child again.
Try to think of something that would make your Dad smile. I bet that's what he'd want you to do.
Thanks Kimmy, Simon and Markec.
You've pegged it, WS.
I grieve with you. I lost my father almost four years ago, and I think I will never stop missing him or thinking about him. You have a treasure hiding in your memories and dreams.
Peace to you and your family.
Hi, W2W and thanks for your kind words.
Thaks AM.
I'm so sorry for this tremendous loss, greeny. How are you doing?
I'm sending one really big hug, wrapping my arms around you. Put your head on my shoulder and cry.
Peace my friend.
Butterfly, thank you so much. I am much better. It was shocking on many levels but we all are doing ok and as a good friend of the family said "It's good for him but bad for us".
Mom, that would be what I'm afraid I'll need for awhile. And thank you so much.
Greeny,
I am very sorry for your loss.
Thank you Otis.
Sorry to hear that. I remember when my grandmother passed away. I went over to their house where I'd been a million times and I video taped everything, exactly as it was. It didn't mean much for the first five or six years but with each passing year, the visuals of all the little details of their lives captured in that instant are priceless.
What a great idea, VE and thanks for the kind words.
Sending you some soothing energy-- so sorry for your loss. Hugs!
Much needed and appreciated, Yolinna.
Just checking in on you...
Oh, Greeny. This is what happens when I get all up in my own business and take a break from visiting other bloggers.
I am so sorry for your loss, sweetie. May he rest in peace.
Im around Iamnot. Just not got much to say but thanks.
Lorraine, thanks so much, dear. And no worries about being busy. I can't say it's been a riot around here in the good times. In comparison your blog is hopping!
I just realised you posted on mine and I came looking, only to find this sad news. I am very sorry. My dad sadly was killed in '69 when I was 15 but I remember him so clearly. Take time to grieve - as you woulod know already.
Thanks for coming around, Middle Child. Come back any time. And thanks for the good thoughts.
