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.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.  Better days ahead.

I'm so very sorry Denise -- it's hard enough to lose a parent and only worse when you were very close to that parent. I will be praying for you.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Denise. The love you and your dad shared will always be with you. My thoughts are with you and your family.

[Pam & Trixie]

Im so Sorry Denise.  Your Dad sounds like a Wonderful Dad, full of great advice & Love  for his 'Little Girl'

I know how hard it is to loose a parent.

I truly am so sorry Denise!! I went through this in April. I know exactly how you are feeling. I wish I had magical words to comfort you but alas no magical ones but I will tell you that you need to repeat the funny stories and laugh as much as you can. It truly helped me!

Sending you hugs and prayers!!!

So, so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts.

My dad died at the young age of 63. I felt like an orphan. There is just something so special about a father and a daughter and I am so sorry you lost your special dad. I love that he told you he loved you every time he saw you!  I am so sorry for your loss and wish you much comfort tomorrow!!
