He Left Me....Softly....

I wasn't going to do this...
With all the Chaos... I thought...maybe...after 24 years...and an hour... I could get through...losing Dad... without tears... and such Deep Sorrow...
Not happening...
As I listen to this Beautiful Song... Dad, couldn't have left me, any other way...He Loved Me...Too Much...To Watch Me...Begging Him... To Please... Stay....
 I have always deeply regretted, I wasn't at his side, holding his hand... when he went away....
God knew...as did Dad...I could never have let him go...

they always seem to know. My father in law waited until everyone left and he had told some of the family to go on home. Passed shortly thereafter. Keep your head up. Did you get a pic of the corner cupboard before you loaded it? Kindest Regards, Wanda

Dad died, as a surprise, to all of us... but... I know... if he had known, he was dieing... he would not have wanted me there...Begging him, not to leave... He wouldn't want to see me...on my knees... in such a sad...and hopeless situation...
I'm glad he didn't know, 'til the very end...
I went to his Grave, this morning... knowing, he isn't there.. just a place... to think...
Miss Him...

The pain of losing a parent lessens as time goes by. But, I never thought I would hurt for so long. I too, lost my mom. I was not with her. We lived one block away and I was not there when she had her massive heart attack at 58 young years. I still cry alot and share alot. It is my way of not letting her go. Peace
