At 4:00 pm yesterday afternoon, my dad passed away. He had a very high fever that I could not get
under control. My siblings will all be
here by early next week and we will discuss the arrangements for a
service. He wanted us to cremate, so
there will not be a viewing. As soon as
I know what the plans are for his memorial, I will post it here.
This is all still sinking in. It’s going to be a few days at least before
the reality of this fully hits. Once I
have a little more of a grip on what we’re going to be next, I’ll share more
about my feelings. I’m still in a state
of “business” with this for a little while longer.
Thank you for you love, support, and words of
encouragement. I can’t see us not
needing that for a while yet. It’s still
sinking in that we no longer have either of our parents.
Oh Emma and sibs I am so sorry to hear of his passing. He was a good and kind man who's zeal and love of life has inspired me ever since we talked when your mom was ill. His running and bike riding photos and stories were great to see on Facebook. I rejoice in the fact that he now has no more pain and rests in the arms of his God and his one true love once again. My pain and sorrow is now for you and the other kids. My prayers are with you all. I know that you have been through so much in the last few years and pray for better and happier days to come. You all have had a great loss twofold but should rejoice in the love and time you had with them both. God Bless you all.
ReplyDeleteLove is pouring out to you now, Emma. I'm so sorry. When you come up for air, I'd love to talk with you. Big hugs.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words of support. This will no doubt be difficult to get through, but we are a tough breed! There are peaceful thoughts that come often and that's a good feeling to have during all of this pain.
