I am so very sorry for your loss of your father.
ReplyDeleteConnie it has been almost 11 years since we sat together in the coffee shop at Strong and discussed our father’s failing health. I lost my father just a few days later, you’ve been fortunate to have had your dad for another 11 years.
I know that doesn’t take away the pain of your loss. It is ALWAYS to soon to lose a parent.
I hope God will bless all of you and your families with Comfort tree and peace.
“ Those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us everyday.
Unseen, unheard but always near,
Still loved, Still missed and very dear”
