Tomorrow is going to be the hardest day of my life... need encouragement..

[Denise & Hunter!!!]

Someone told me yesterday that it was going to be the first day of the rest of my life...... yesterday was the day my beloved dad passed away.  He was 74 years old and I wanted him for 74 more.  I didn't get what I wanted.  I was very close to my dad, I am an only child and the picture of a daddy's girl.  I still can't wrap my mind around not being able to talk to him and hear his voice.  

 

Tomorrow are his calling hours and Tuesday is his funeral.  In a strange way I can't wait for them to be over so I can start to cope and then on the other hand I don't want it to come at all so I don't have to say good bye.  Actually, I already said good bye for now but I miss him beyond what I ever thought someone could feel.  

 

There is one very special Doodle Kisses member (she knows who she is) that was with my dad and helped my mom the night this nightmare began.  She is going to forever hold a special place in my heart and I will never be able to thank her enough for helping my family when I was not there.  

 

So here starts the rest of my life without my dad, but I will treasure every piece of advice and every word that he said to me.  I always know that "daddy loves me" because he told me every time I saw him.

Denise, from one Daddy's Girl to another, I am so sorry.  You will be in my thoughts and prayers.  He will always be there in your heart and your memories. 

[Deanna Munro]

I'm so sorry.  Very touching how much you love your Dad.  You are in our thoughts.

 

[Phyllis & Duffy]

Denise, so sorry to read about your dad.  Mine will be gone 23 years this August.  Just amazes me that it has been that long and I still miss him terribly.  I too was daddy's little girl.  I think all daughters are daddy's little girl.  He will live in your heart forever and the feeling of him being there with you never goes away.  Cherish your memories.  Just take it one day at a time.  There are no rules to follow. Everyone mourns in their own way.

Denise,  you are one of the very lucky and blessed children to have had such an amazing. loving father. Many of us have never known that kind of love and quidance. Celebrate what you have had and relive, retell and repeat those happy memories to keep him alive and vivid in your heart and mind. I will pray for your strength and acceptance as you grieve for your precious dad.

[Linda, Webber and Seda]

I am so sorry.  I wish there were some words of comfort that would make it better, but I know there aren't.  Wishing you strength for the days ahead and comfort in the memories you have of him.

[Clifford, Cloud, Jake..and Kim]

Denise, I'm sorry for your loss.  I'm sure your Dad gave some very special messages to Hunter and she will share them with you when you need it most.  You had a great relationship with your Dad and the memories will always be with you.

[Elizabeth & *Kosci*.]

Sorry for your loss,our thoughts and prayers are with you.

[Smita, Ollie and Juno]

I am so sorry, Denise. I know that words are never enough but our thoughts are with you. I know how hard it must be right now but I hope your fond memories carry you though this tough time.

[Kaytlin and Cooper]

Oh Denise, Im so very sorry. I lost my Dad 11 years ago when I was just 19 and he was 49. I know just how you feel. Time will ease your sorrow, but you will always miss him.

[Susan and Sasha]

Denise...

I am so very sad and sorry for the loss of your precious father!

I too...lost my Mother a year and a half ago...and I can totally understand the loss and pain that you are feeling.

I think of my Mother Every Day...remember the Wonderful memories that we had together...and will keep her in my heart and thoughts Forever!

I know you will keep your Father in you heart and in your thoughts Forever too!

It's important to be with family and friends during this time Denise...so if possible....that would be my encouragement to you.

Talk about all of the good times...the stories that make you laugh...and all of the Wonderful things you can remember about your Dad!  That seemed to help me and my family get through the most difficult of times.

I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers...
