For all those that sent prayers to help his recovery, thank you.



My father passed away just a half hour ago. Please pray for him.



He passed from brain cancer at the age of 68.

I will forever miss him.

George,



I'm sorry to hear of your loss and my thoughts are with you and your family. I'm sure many others here feel the same way. Not much can be said at times such as these that will make you feel any better other than knowing others are thinking of and praying for you.

My dad passed away 6 years ago at the age of 55 from a heart attack. I miss him every day. It is something a person can never get over. I know nothing can make the pain you are feeling be less, but my prayers are with you and I hope that in the days and years to come the memories you have of your time with him will be a comfort and a blessing that you are able to treasure.

I am sorry for your loss of your dad, remember awhile back though I told you the Lord is a comforting Lord. He will easy your pain and loss. One of the abilitys he gives us is that we can remember them and that will stay with us until we see them again. I believe this time on earth is a learning process to prepare us spiritual, and all will face the passing over sooner or later. I'm just glad that we have a Lord that loves and cares enough to die for us so we can live forever with him.



Don't be surprised if some how some way your dad lets you know "hey son I'm ok now, for sure".



Your Dad and whole family are in our Prayers.

Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes. My family and I are comfoted by them.

TorqueThis, sorry I have not contacted you. But,things progressed quicker than we imagined.

Tony, yes I do remember. You wrote a very nice response on my other thread. I, am my family felt comfort with it.



I'm having a very difficult time with this. i was trying to prepare mysylf over the last 3-1/2 months, but I was just fooling myself. This is far more difficult than I ever could have imagined. He has only been gone 1-1/2 days, and I can't think about him or see a picture of him without crying. As I'm doing right now. Over the past 10 or so years, I had just started to get very close to my dad, the way I always wished I was. I think we had finally understood each other. I was fortunate enough to hear my dad speak proudly of the work I've been doing to my house, and I was able to tell him something that I had wanted to for many, many years. He said, he knew it all along.



My father lived for his family. We were always comforted knowing dad was around. Even as an adult, I knew I could always call him for honest advise by someone who would be looking out for what is best for me.



My fathers wishes were to be cremated and just have a Memorial Mass, which we will have this Thursday. The funeral director we went through was very kind and actually surprised us with this. We will be able to have a Military Honor Gaurd for my father. The reason this is important to us, is we have been trying to get VA help for my dad, but they had classified him as not a veteran because he served his whole service in peace time. I thought this was total B. S. , I even contacted my local Congressman, and he confirmed it.

My dad is deserving and able to have a Military Honor Gaurd. They will not be able to play taps, or gun salute because it will be at the Church. However, my mom will be receiving an American Flag from the Honor Gaurd! I KNOW, my dad must be looking down, smiling, and pleased that he will finally be recognized for his service. He has ALWAYS been a proud American.



my thanks again

George

George,

You have my deepest sympathies for your loss. I know your pain as I lost my Dad 3 years ago after his long battle with MS. He was only 60.

Even with time to prepare for death it is very necessary to grieve as you are now doing. Keeping their sorrow inside is the worst thing someone can do. Eventually time will lessen your pain, but it never really goes away completely. Still, take comfort in knowing that you and your Dad will have a joyous reunion in heaven someday.

God's blessings to you.
