Letter to a father lost

[geeker2]

Sorry Kev.......

[Arletta]

Deeply sorry Kev for your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family for I have been there with both my parents and know the pain all too well.
Faith and time does heal and help us keep putting one foot in front of another. I bet he's looking down on you saying "Son! you are not going to believe what waits for you here!"

God bless you and your family.

Prayers for all.

Oh Kev I am painfully sorry for you and for you Mom.

There is nothing I can say that will help what you're going through but I do want you to know that, clearly, your fathers great qualities rubbed off on you.

He must have been an amazing man... I am so sorry that he's gone.

You are surrounded by love, even here on a horsie board, so never forget that... that you will always have people here to listen if you need us.

Take good care of your Mom (and of yourself, of course), and remember that some day you'll be able to think of him and many great times and smile again even if it seems like that day will never come.

Much love and deepest sympathy,

Gioia

Beautiful words, Kev. You were and are blessed.

My deepest condolences Kev. As you said, there is really no way to prepare for it even when you know it's coming. It's still just as painful. You will get through it but it will be hard. I truly believe that God gives us strength to deal with losing people we are close to. I say that because it is truly miraculous how we heal. I think you are doing the right thing by putting some of your thoughts in writing. Being open with your grief is healthy and cathartic. What you said was very touching. Your dad sounds like he was quite a guy. I'm glad you had so many great years together. God bless you and your family.
