The Hardest Thing To Do

Thank you for sharing those great stories!
We are all sorry for your loss.
I'm still a youngster at 33. My Dad is 67. His mother passed nearly 4 years ago and the pain I witnessed him go through was very sobering. I am sorry.

On a side note, do you have relatives in SE Alabama?
 
I am truly sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my father- my mentor, role model, and best friend- four years in May. It gets better, but it is never easy. God bless.
 
You have my deepest sympathies. It sounds like your dad was a great man who did a great job of raising his family. From the short glimpse you've graciously allowed us to view it seems as though your father was able to deliver to you and your family "the American Dream".

It pulls at the heart to think of you trying to console your mother who lost her soul mate...the man she lived her life with...but at the same time it's encouraging to see that he lives on through the great family he raised. His name, his values, he himself lives on through his children.

You are rightfully saddened at his passing...but I hope you can also see just how blessed you have been.

Peace be with you and yours.

Best Regards.

Prayer from Texas for you, your family, and your father's friends for peace, comfort, and strength during this difficult time.

My dad died at the age of 85 as well. A veteran of WWII, he was a master control gunner in a B-29, the Honshu Hurricane.

He also taught me many valuable lessons and I miss him terribly

Thank you for your wonderful sharing now. We stand with you even from a great distance
 
I was very moved reading your post. I know that pain as I lost my dad a couple of years back as well. It is sometimes comforting to realize that the memories will live on - he is not gone from your mind and heart. There will still be times when it is difficult - but he is still with you.

All of us here would like to send our condolences - and please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Regards,

Pete
 
You made your father come to life for us if just for a few moments, thanks for sharing.

My Mother passed away last June and I am sure Dad (age 92) misses her terribly. The greatest thing any of us can do is raise children who are people to be proud of. I hope I can live up to the expectations of all my ancestors. I am pleased with my children and I pray they outlive me.
 
I'm 64 years old, and lost my Father in 1990, and my Mother 3 years ago. I am still in mourning, and haven't quite wrapped my head around the fact that all that I held dear and loved so much are now gone; grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, cousins, a wife...it is so hard to deal with sometimes, but my faith in His Eminence is what gets me through the day. Sincere condolences Colonel, and may your Dad rest in peace.

That is a beautiful tribute to your father. My family will remember you and yours in our prayers. Time heals.
