Sorry for your loss. Can't beat a father daughter bond. My father will be gone five years in July. It's easier now, but when something breaks in the house my first thought is still to call him.

luv, your words were beautiful. How lucky was he to have you in his life! I agree that it is a gift when we are present when someone we love dies.

I know it is heart wrenching seeing it. My late husband died in my arms unexpectedly. My Mother died with me, my brother, his wife, and my sisters at her bedside.

We all die. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a daughter like you in their life. My girls called their Father "Daddy" too. When I saw that it made me think of my husband and I could hear my girls calling "Daddy".

I just talked with my oldest daughter about "Daddy" yesterday. We talked about how much we missed him. Now it is with wonderful memories. As I sit here posting this I have tears in my eyes remembering the loss.

I know that even though your Daddy is in a better place and he has escaped the pain here on earth, you will still have times when you miss him. Those will be the times when you and your family will remember all of the fun and love you gave him and he gave you.

GOD has given all of the living a gift by letting the sadness when our loved ones were in our life fade away so that we only remember the good times and the love that was passed back and forth when they were alive.

Take care. Annabelle/Linda

luvboyds...I am so sorry about the loss of your father. Your father appreciated everything you did for him. I am sure your felt honored to there with your Dad at the end of his life here on earth and onto his home in heaven. I felt my dad leave this earth last December and knew he was entering heaven. Positive thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time.

Unfortunately, I know how it feels to lose someone to this nightmare of a disease. As we all say, he is no longer suffering and is whole now.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Although many people think we've already grieved this loss for years, we have not and the grief process is much different from other long-term illnesses in my opinion.

Be very, very gentle with yourself and if all you want to do is sleep right now, go right ahead. Don't push yourself to do more than you can easily do.

And I promise you, the thoughts about these last years will leave eventually and the memories of the good times will come back. It will take time.

Bless you and you are in my thoughts today.
