    Kathryn ~

    I want to send my condolences on your loss of your Father. It is so very hard to lose a parent. I haven’t posted to the forum in quite some time, but I do pop in every once in a while just to keep up on how everyone is. I lost my Mother Dec 8, 2004. The first few months were really hard for me, but time does help somewhat, as I am sure people will tell you. I do miss my Mother dearly. It all happened too fast and I was not ready for her to go. I have many cherished memories of the times with my Mother. May your memories of your Father keep you strong and help to get you through the coming days. Take care.

    Barbra ~
    I am so sorry to hear about Ron. You and your daughter were faithful and caring to Ron. My Dad and I were with my Mom around the clock for her last 10 days in the hospital. I was with her when she took her last breath. Your daughter and I have something in common…my Dad said I was the strong one too. I didn’t think I was that strong, but I know I got my strength from above to get me through those days. I pray for you and your daughter and the rest of your family in the days to come. I know it won’t be easy, but I know there will be family, friends and your “special friends” from this forum that will be holding you up in prayer to give you strength.

    April ~ I am so sorry to hear about your Mom-In-Law. I know what you mean about the peaceful look. My Mom looked peaceful when she passed away in December. I hated for her to leave us, but she had a calm peaceful look about her. It has been almost four months now and it still seems like yesterday. Your memories, time and prayers from friends and family will get you through the days to follow. Be strong!

    Lisa,
    I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. I lost my Mother December 8th to a combination of MDS, pneumonia and a collapsed lung. She spent 10 days in the hospital. I know how exhausting you must feel. I wish I could say the pain will go away for you, but I haven’t reached that point yet. I know everyone says time will help and I am just waiting for that to happen. I only know my Mother left peacefully and didn’t shed a tear. Heaven knows I cried enough for both of us. I will pray for your strength to face the days to follow.
    Sincerely,
    Missy
