Sorry for your loss. Sounds as though you were able to hear him say he is pleased with you. Hold on to that. As other said, remember the good, but also remember the tough times. They won’t be as tough anymore. May you and your family have peace in this time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Sorry for your loss. Even when it's expected, it's never easy. May your family find strength and peace.
Easy Livin' 3000 , I know your pain. My dad died this Nov. 16th. Your post made my eyes tear up. We will get through this man for the remainder of the family members. Hang tough and believe he is in a better place with no pain.
So sorry for your loss sir. I felt so sad when my dad & mom passed. Memories & photos are a great comfort to me. I sincerely hope our brother Greenstick will read your post. Been praying for him. I will pray for you & your family as well.
By your eulogy I can tell that your a good son. My father and I rarely saw eye to eye but our love was never in question. Mom is the one who needs support now.
Sorry to hear about your loss Easy Livin' 3000 ... May he rest and peace and May you find that peace That God Gave us When his only Son Died for Us...
So sorry to hear about your dad, Easy Livin' 3000 . Praying for Peace and Comfort for you and your family.
So sorry to hear this Easy Livin' 3000 Unfortunately I've been there already as my dad died when I was 43. Like your dad, mine was expected too, but you still are not prepared for the actuality when it happens. Even though time has passed since, I'm still not 100% past it. Remember the good times, because that's all that you have now. RIP
I'm so sorry for your loss Easy Livin' 3000. From what you said, he loved you a lot, and you are a good son. He wouldn't have said it if he didn't mean it.
We made the final arrangements this morning. He wanted to be cremated and some of his ashes spread where he grew up, in the sand hills of Nebraska. Beautiful country if you ever have a chance to get there. This will give Mom an excuse to get back out there and see both sides of the family. Reminds me of Gus McCray's final request to Captain Call. Dad and I shared a fondness for Larry McMurtry stories. I'm going to try to peel myself up tomorrow morning and go split up some of the two big oaks that they had taken down a few months ago. He would come out and sit and watch me when I was working up their firewood. I provided the labor to feed their stove for most of my life, ever since Dad put me on the business end of the chainsaws and splitting tools, I think I was 12. He didn't like the work, and recognized my affinity for making big chunks of wood into smaller ones. He did a passable job keeping the chains sharp for me. I hope Mom will still want to use the stove from time to time.
