Spoke too soon. We lost my dad this morning.

Some of you may remember my post about my 92 yr old dad getting Covid and being treated with Convalescent Plasma at the end of May.  At first I didn't allow myself to hope he'd survive.  But, once a month had passed and he wasn't experiencing any outward signs of infection, we thought he'd gotten lucky.

 

On Tuesday he was admitted to the hospital with low oxygen, found to have pneumonia, also staph infection in his blood AND due to these things, his heart was being strained and blood enzymes indicated he was having a heart attack.  He passed shortly after midnight.

 

I'm taking solace in our belief that Dad's reunited with Mom, whom he missed terribly and I'm thankful we don't have to send him back to the NH.  But it's sinking in that he's really gone.  Smiley Sad

So sorry for your lost.

 

Dear Lord, even though i do not know this poster I ask that you grant Kalli and her family strength and peace. I ask that her father is reunited with her mother,  his wife, and that he is now finally at peace. I ask this in your name.

 

Amen.

kalli,

 

The loss of a loved one, especially a parent (and a last parent, at that), cuts a hole in your heart that never really mends.  I am sorry that you lost your beloved father today. 

 

Try to take solace, as you have already noted, that he has now been reunited with your mother.  Find some ease for your pain with your memories of your time together.  There's nothing like our fond memories.

 

May he rest in peace.

@Kalli  I am so sorry for the passing of your dad.  Condolences to you and your family.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

@Kalli  Your post brought me to tears😥. I am so, so VERY sorry for the passing of your dear father. I pray that God wrapped his loving arms of comfort around him, and that his journey to heaven was a peaceful one.🙏🙏

 

I pray for continued solace for you as you begin to process this difficult time, and although I don't know you personally, your story has touched me, and I truly care.🙏.
