Thank you for being so open and honest with your feelings. Now, just give yourself permission to take the time to heal. Your mom will need it too, as you know. You and your mom remain in my thoughts and prayers. <br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />SueSuenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1420246450295101683.post-9965882863272621832009-09-16T21:30:11.431-04:002009-09-16T21:30:11.431-04:00i am so glad things went so well. tears and laught...i am so glad things went so well. tears and laughter is just how it should be. tears cause you miss him so and laughter cause you have fond memories of his life. <br />blessings,<br />aimeeaimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11465250814524292154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1420246450295101683.post-44317118574477576302009-09-16T00:25:20.986-04:002009-09-16T00:25:20.986-04:00Wow!

Know that my heart is with you. It has been such a privilege and blessing to know you, and I will be eternally grateful that you have shared this journey with us.<br /> For putting your life and needs on hold and taking responsibility for the care of your Dad and Mom, WE THANK YOU FOR THAT.<br /> For showing us your human side, frustration, anger, yet always acting in your parents’ best interest. WE THANK YOU FOR THAT. <br /> For going solo, without help, yet persevering to see that your Dad’s final years were the best they could be. WE THANK YOU FOR THAT.<br /> For sharing your sadness, personal, intimate, final conversations, reminding us that may have suppressed such memories due to an association with a painful time, just how precious a gift they are and should be embraced. WE THANK YOU FOR THAT.<br /> For voicing your Christian values and faith, providing a role model for those that may be facing similar circumstances. WE THANK YOU FOR THAT.<br /> Today as you honor the life of your Father, Know that your earthly father and your Heavenly Father are looking down smiling and I am sure they are both saying, WELL DONE, DAUGHTER, WELL DONE.Janenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1420246450295101683.post-36835421750357119172009-09-15T10:22:20.028-04:002009-09-15T10:22:20.028-04:00oh becky I am so glad that you are feeling a sense...oh becky I am so glad that you are feeling a sense of calm right now and that you enjoyed your time (as it sounds your daddy would have liked)...thank you for writing to tell us..stay strong...~tarahttp://blondiensc.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1420246450295101683.post-7057465285931754932009-09-15T05:00:21.801-04:002009-09-15T05:00:21.801-04:00Isn't it amazing how God can use the love of f...Isn't it amazing how God can use the love of friends to make even the saddest of times a celebration of life. Your Dad's visitation sounds so much like my Daddy's. As you say, there were tears but mostly a time of laughter and sweet memories. A time to see or hear from people that love you and love the Lord. When I think of how you and I met through blogging and share so many interests and then to find out that I actually had met your dad on several occasions, I am just amazed! God surely had a hand in us running across each others' paths! All of the flowers sound beautiful and I know they will bring you joy. A trip to the mountains with you and your husband will do your mama good. She's very blessed to have you to lean upon and you are blessed to have your husband's support. I know of all people, you understand that as much as I would love to be there today in person I cannot but you will be in my heart and prayers not only for today but through the coming weeks. It was always a joy to stop and chat with your daddy and now the plants we purchased from him are even more special because of my new blogging friendship with you! God bless Becky.
