Mark & Brothers,
I went through a similar situation a bit over 10 years ago. I know that by being there for your folks and helping when & where you can is how you all get through this. And you will get through this. Thoughts and prayers.....PD
Dad passed away late last night (Ash Wednesday). My Mother Mary Ann and Brother Stephen were at his side, and I am told it was a very peaceful passing.
Dad never complained throughout this long illness. His only concern was for my mother... that we be sure she is taken care of. "I am going to a better place" he told me on our last visit, and I have no doubt about where he is now.
This was Dad's favorite painting, called "Welcome Home". It is hung on the wall of his bedroom. Wonder if it was anything like this for him...
Thank you all for your prayers these last few months. They are appreciated more than you can ever know.
Mark, I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad to hear that he went peacefully. You and your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless you all in this time of sorrow!
So sorry to hear of your families loss. I am sure your dad is watching down on you and your whole family from heaven and is very happy to have had you all in his life. My you find comfort in the wonderful memories you have of your father.
