Re: Good Friday...not so good

I am sorry Jules, I hope he is at peace and with your Mom now.{#emotions_dlg.wub} We have something in common...I lost my Dad on Palm Sunday. I wish I had gotten the call you did in time so I could have had a last talk with my Dad...instead of being called just after he passed.

I am happy you had the opportunity to tell him good bye and what he meant to you. That was a gift. God Bless Jules.

Jules. Oh my. I am so very sorry to read this. I can feel your pain so vividly in your post and I am just so sorry.

You were very good to your father and he knew that you were there with him until the end.

I agree with Jannabelle. That puppy came into your life at the time you need him the most. That was meant to be.

So sorry to hear of your loss. It sounds like you were very lucky to have a great dad like him. I hope your wonderful memories of your dad will help you through this. He will always be with you, always in your heart.

Re: Good Friday...not so good

Thank you everyone for your kindness, condolences and prayers... I for sure need lots of those right now. I am so thankful I was with him since I was not able to be with my mom when she passed, and that was something I'll always regret. After all this time of being with my dad, if I had not been present it would have been too much for me to handle. I hated him being in that place, know he didn't always get the best care, and I was trying so hard to make sure he did. If he died in a place of strangers, where it is just business as usual, I would never forgive myself. Even after, my dad's "room mate" was complaining he wanted the door open for some air, fully aware my dad had died and that they were trying to give us some privacy. They finally came and moved him out to get some food..... I understand they are used to seeing elderly and sick people die all the time, but today it was my dad. I am glad he didn't suffer, and had prayed it would happen peacefully for him.

I know he is already feeling and looking his best, maybe dancing with my mom with Nook running around.... it's just so hard for "US" when we are left behind.

Your words all mean sooooo much! {#emotions_dlg.wub} Wish I could express it. I have cried so much that I seem out of tears, but I know soon more will come.
