My dear sweet friends,

My precious Dad passed away peacefully Saturday. I want to take this chance to thank everyone who has been so supportive and encourging. He fought hard and proved the dr's wrong that it wouldn't be 6 months, but 7. He didn't suffer and passed on knowing how much he was loved.

I hurt, I hurt so bad. It is like a big empty hole and the house is just so quite. There is no more routine, no more getting him up, no more getting him fed, no more giving medicine, no more getting him ready for bed....because he is gone, gone to a better place.

Some time ago I wrote about my dad and his having to wait all his life, he no longer has to wait, the wait is over. He is at peace and with my mom whom he has missed so very much.

I will be ok, it will get better, but there are bumps in the road that I know will catch me by surprise and thats ok. My Mom and Dad taught me well. In this last year my Dad has been with us he has taught me patience and being calm and for that I thank him. I am proud we were able to do all we could for him. He made it easy just by being Dad.

Dad, I miss you, I love you, I will always be Daddy's girl, your little girl and you will always be my Dad.

Again, thank you everyone. I will still be around...you can't get rid of me that easy!!lol

Love to all
Gail

Thank you so much for caring. I do know how you feel, yes, just 5 more minutes, one more hug, one more kiss, one more "I love you". However, it is not to be. But they do know and I have always felt that they are around us all the time. I had a bad day yesterday, but today is better. My dad's funeral will be on the 13th and I know it will be tough. But my dh and I were here for dad in the last year of his precious life and at the end. He lived with us and we put him under Hospice care right after we found out he had terminal lung cancer. I did have the chance to tell him it was ok to go, I would miss him, but we would be ok and that I loved him. He smiled and said I love you too sweetheart.

Sue, we will be ok, it will take time, but we will be ok. This board has been God sent to me when I lost my mom in Dec of 2004, and now with the loss of my dad. The ladies here are caring and so loving.

You have a wonderful day and please let us know how your doing.

Love ya
Gail
