Last Night…

IMG_2205

My wonderful father passed away. He was only sixty-one years old.

I’m truly in a state of shock…

I am numb from head to toe. I’ve cried so much I forgot what it’s like to breathe through my nose.

Words can’t even describe what a wonderful human being he was.

I will miss him so much….

    I’m so sorry, Estela. I don’t think there’s anything to say other than you and your family are in my prayers. I’m so so sorry.

    I truly believe that the best tribute we can give our parents is to be the best parents we can be to our own children. You are a wonderful tribute to your father by being an incredible mother to M. Thinking of you!

    My heart aches for you. All I can offer is prayers – and they are with your entire family. SO MANY of them. xoxoxoxoxo

    I feel so terrible. I know what you are going through. My mom passed away 4 years ago at a young age and it was the worst moment of my life. The pain will fade, but never fully go away.
    I hope that your family is with you for love and support. It is what you need most in difficult times like this.

    So so sorry…my dad is my hero as well, so I can only imagine the heartache you are feeling. There really is nothing that can be said to heal your ache, all I can advise you to do is just treasure the memories that you have with him. You family is in my thoughts and prayers. Keep the faith, Kat

    Much, much love to you. I thought of this often when my mother passed away: “I have only slipped away into the next room, I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Play, smile, think of me. All is well.”

    I am so incredibly sorry for your loss-I’m thinking of you and your family. I lost my mother way too young as well and there are no words to describe the pain–youll get through this and will be able to think of all of the wonderful memorises you have with him and smile…it’ll just take time. *hugs*
