I would ask for prayers, but please not for me. I would ask if you could just send my dad prayers of encouragement in his new journey. He is a remarkable man with a rare and apprieciated life. He, I know, would not want sadness or pity around this occassion but rather an "Atta Boy!" and cheers and laughter for his newest adventure. While my heart aches with knowing how much I will miss him and I am glad to have the privilage to call him dad and know that I have his life as my example. |

Kate, the journey has ended on this side for your father. I so understand what you mean about catching yourself thinking of them. It was at least a month before I could shop at Wal-Mart without crying. Whenever I went there was something to pick up something for my dad. Most of the time my shopping list was a combination of things for him and things for us. I was so hard to walk through the store because I kept thinking "I need to get _____ for Daddy" and then it would hurt when I realized I didn't need to after all.
Take comfort in knowing that it hurts because you shared a great bond. God bless you for caring for your dad and loving him through the journey. He'll tell you that himself when you're together again.
God bless -

Dear Heavenly Father, please take up Kate's dad with gentle hands, Kate needs your Angels to put their arms around her during this time. Kate said her dad is a great guy, so you will enjoy having him around. Amen

*hugs* I'm sorry that he has passed away. I understand how much you miss him. My Grandma Catherine and I did everything together and I miss her terribly still after 6 years. I wish you solace and peace with your grief and that your memories of him burn bright for you. Thank you for telling us. He must have been a remarkable man and he has a very brave and loving daughter in you Kate.
Peace be with you

Just a note, my dad passed on Dec. 11th. I am caught by surprize on occasion, seeing something, or thinking that he might like this or that or think I might call and talk and then I remember he is no longer here in the physical sence. Just to say too that my heart goes out to all who have someone that they miss. HUGS kate |

Kate--my thoughts are with you and 'atta boy' for your dad. We walked the same path with my husband last year--knowing he was beginning a new adventure and smiling through the tears. MB

You got it, Kate. "Atta boy!!! Keep on keepin' on!"
Your dad sounds a lot like my own. Six years ago I walked the same path you are walking now, making the path home as easily as possible for our dads. What a wonderful spirit he has. What a wonderful daughter he has. He must be terribly proud of you. Keep us posted as the journey continues.
God bless -
