My heart is broken and the pain is unbearable.. My dear sweet Daddy passed away Feb. 3rd. I have been in Florida for the past two weeks. His service was beautiful and I was told one of the most beautiful they had ever seen. Everyone who knew him loved him. He was the most kind, gentle man I ever knew. All of the family are devastated. He passed away exactly one week to the day after his baby sister passed away. My best childhood friend that I have not seen in 40 years came down to be there for me and she loved dad dearly. She said he was the finest man she had ever known. He truly was. I loved him so much and will miss him and his calls. He will be in my heart for as long as I live.

Pam, I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how close you and your dad were. I never met him but feel as though I had. Everyday when we talk you always filled me in on how he was doing and all the funny things he would say and do. I know this has left a huge whole in your heart. He is now in the arms of your mom and she will take very good care of him. He will continue to be with you daily as he will forever be in your heart. Hugss and love my friend.

Thank you so much Nana, you are so kind. I keep telling myself that he is with Mom, Timothy, his parents and sister and baby brothers. I will miss the talks I had on the phone wwith him several times a week though.
DeleteLove and Hugs to you as well.

Pam, I am so, so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I can't imagine the pain you are feeling but know that he is with God now. Sending my deepest sympathies and prayers and comforting hugs.

Pam, you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. You never forget your parents when they leave us. I think of mine daily. The pain of loosing them has lessened but they are always close in my heart. I am praying that God will give you peace and surety that your Dad is well cared for and he's looking forward to seeing you again. It just makes us mall more aware of how little time we have with our loved ones and to make the most of whatever time we have with them. Big hugs to you, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your caring, kindness and prayers Donna. it is true, we do have so little time with loved ones. I seemed to feel Dad would be around forever even though in reality I knew that wasn't possible. Thank you sooooo much for the beautiful card that you made and sent to me, your your kind words really mean't a lot to me.

Pam, I'm so sorry to read this, and to have missed it when you posted. I'm currently having problems getting comments to come into my email (since I've always used comment moderation). I'm trying to see my visitors another way, so I saw this in the reading list. I know your heart is aching and it will for a long while. Eventually though, you will be able to remember all the Happy, and the sorrow will start to heal. Your Sweet Dad would not want you to be sad for him. This is a tough time for you, (believe me, after last year, I DO understand!) - you just take the time you need to grieve, remember and heal. God Bless. Hugs
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much for your kind sweet comment Mary, it really means so much to me.
