I just wanted to thank you personally for your selflessness in posting in my thread the other day. Knowing you had your own feelings to deal with around your own father your act of kindness did not go unnoticed.

I hope the sad loss of your father will not deter you from continuing to be all that you can be in this life. I know I would be heartbroken if I lost my mum but I have great strength today knowing I would deal with that loss accordingly. My mum was very lucky in respect that no permanent damage was done and she is at home now convalescing. If anything I hope you can take some comfort from knowing that a fellow MWO member was touched by your post and was able to share that back with his own family.

God bless you and keep you and your family during this time and always.

Love and Light
Phil

Your parents are the same age -- 67 years young --as my parents (also divorced).
I'm so sorry your dad lost his fight. God's grace.

C, just another personal note; I have dreams almost every week about my Daddy, and in them he is always strong and healthy, as he was before his illness. He comes and helps me with problems, saves me in situations, and reminds me that just because I can't see him, he's still with me. I can't tell you what a comfort it is, whether it's my subconsious or it's really him. My hope is that something will happen to give you the same peace this has given me. Right now, the grief is numbing, and the details cause the days to be crowded with things to be done, but soon you will be able to gather your thoughts and memories, and the good times you shared will become OH! so much sweeter. Thinking of you.

Dear MWO friends

Hi all,
I spent this afternoon at the funeral home with my family, making arrangements. It will be Friday, Sept. 18, with 2 viewings during the day and evening and a service at 8 PM. A dear friend of mine from college, who is now a Catholic priest and lives in Washington, DC, is coming to officiate (it's a 6 hr. drive, but his parents live not too far from me). It is a casual event: the men are requested to wear Hawaiian shirts. My dad is a guy who loved to have a good time. I spent this afternoon in my backyard, with the lil boys, writing the eulogy with my sister and brother, and I am going to read it. We then pulled bunches of pictures from the photo albums to put on the storyboard.

My dad's 67th birthday is Sept. 25. We are going to throw him a birthday party that day -- after all, it's a Friday! You are all welcome to join us. My husband doesn't know about this yet, but frankly, I don't care.

You guys are the best.
xoxo
CS

Oh, CS, that sounds like a wonderful way to say goodbye to your father and send him on his way with love. A birthday party this month sounds great. I'm sure he'll be there, at least in spirit, and will enjoy it.
