another dad gone, things ive learned

[rob10858]

like i've said before, the entries that i send to you folks are never seen by anyone but me. the wife makes fun of my private 'turbo buddies" but she let's me type last night my beloved wife's father died, this coming after both of my parents passing in the last six weeks. there is a circle that has surrounded our families, since we all met 18 years ago. my mom and dad's house served as a hospice house for all of my wife's family and friends during their stay in winston salem, and i know that my parents were very proud to be able to help their favorite people , my inlaws , even after death. its too bad that more people hold resentment for such petty things that occur in all families. once everyone is gone, such as in my case, at the age of 42, what's left?

Amen.

there is lots left....

Pack,

I can uderstand the pain that you are going through, just know that it takes a day-by-day knowing that things are getting better. Nothing that I can explain, you'll just experience it.

I am now my father, my children are me.



I will carry my parents in me forever



I'm proud to be my father in my children's eyes.



Life goes on.

Well said Larry, life does go on as it will when we too are gone. Sorry to hear of your loss packman.

So sorry about your loss. You all are in my prayers.

Sorry for your loss. I know what you mean about close family. It is a blessing that some never know.

Packman,



My dad died in '78 and I still miss him. Nothing fills that hole in your life. However, you just have to go on. Play with your grandkids. That helps a LOT!

Sorry for your family's loss,,,,,,,,

Packman,

I think LarryB said it best,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Now it's your turn to pass on all the good things you've learned from those that are gone, to the ones that are still here.

May GOD bless you and your family.
