Bad News

My Dad had another bleed this morning. Bigger than the last one.He is back at the hospital and they are keeping him comfortable.There is really nothing they can do. It is just a matter of time.He'll be going "home" soon. Pray for strength for all of us as his journey comes to an end.

    Lisa, it doesn't seem possible that this morning I could be reading such happy postings and so late tonight I came to check since I was missing your Mom's presence. I am saddened beyond words...and feel I should have all the right things to say...but my heart is breaking with yours. I am so sorry...please keep the faith that his heavenly Father will keep him in his care. Peace and prayers to all of your family and most especially your Dad. Love, L.R.

    I wish it didn't have to come to this. Usually I don't post on any sort of blog but today I feel like I should. I truely believe that God had every reason to take him this morning. And with that, I find some comfort. I hope everyone else can find comfort with that too.

    I love you all so much. And I love you, Lisa.
    Please send prayers for my family and I to make it through this tough time.

    Lisa, it is now Tuesday morn and I have seen your mother's flickr post kindly letting us know of the passing of your father. The tears are streaming down my face for you all. My deepest sympathies ...I will write you a letter in a bit. I cannot find the words right now. I am sending you so many hugs and prayers for strength and endurance. Peace sweet lady, L.R.

    Oh Lisa,
    I was hoping to wake up to hear better news....
    I am so sorry, my friend. I know it doesn't help to hear everyone say that he is in a better place now because of course you want him here with you. But, after all of the struggling that he has been through these past two months, just know now that he can rest at peace. Although too short, he lived a beautiful dash with no regrets, I'm sure. He sounded like a wonderful man whom so many loved. Also know that when you walked into the door at the rehab center, he remembered you. How could he forget such a beautiful daughter like you. You couldn't have been more supportive of your dad. You should feel proud of yourself for all that you did for him and the time spent with him. I can tell you that for awhile he will be the last thing on your mind at night, your dreams will only be about him and he will be the first thing on your mind when you awake each morning. Yes, the most vivid images in your mind will be of how you have seen him recently. But, as time goes on you will begin to feel some peace and the real images of your dad will become stronger again. Continue to look at photos like those that you just posted on the blog. Remember his beautiful, healthy smile and shining eyes. I know nothing can make you feel better right now and you wonder how the rest of the world can go on when such a tragedy has taken place. I know it's hard. I have so much more to say, but it will have to wait. I know what you are going through, sweetie, and I'm here. Someone sent this poem to me last year when my brother passed....thought you'd like it, too:

    Perhaps they are not stars at all,
    yet openings in the heavens,
    where the light of our loved ones shines down upon us to let us know they are always with us.

    I love you,
    Jan
