I Am A Mess

PICTURE OF MY DAD, SISTER AND MOM AT OUR WEDDING 2 YEARS AGO

We are still waiting to hear from the coroner about the cause of death, although he did say it was something Cardio Vascular. My dad was 54 he would have been 55 on December 30th. My dad has been awaiting surgery for the past few month for some clogged Arteries in his leg and groin, we were told he was in no immediate danger and as long as he took his medicine ( which he did) he would be fine. I am so happy he came to stay with us for this past month, he wasn't supposed to be here he was headed down to stay with his sister in Hope BC, but then I had car problems so he stayed to fix them, the he stayed here to watch the cats when we went up North to my Mom's, and for some reason both he and I thought he should stay here through August.

God always has a plan, the month he was here he got to spend time with the girls, strengthen our relationship, be with our cats and dogs who he adored. So I just hope he knew how much he was loved. I am thankful and grateful he was taken when things in his life were good, he was around family, and taken while he was sleeping.

My heart hurts at the thought I will never see him again, I miss him already, we would have coffee on the fronts steps in the morning together so this morning was particularly hard.

Thank you so much for all you thoughts and prayers they mean so much at this time. I am also sorry for being so blunt yesterday, I just didn't know a good way to say it.

Kelly, I didn't see your post yesterday; my deepest sympathies to you and your family. My dad died suddenly too, as well as my younger brother. It is shocking and traumatic. I am glad that you have had this past month with him. My heart sends hugs and prayers your way. Hold onto your family and faith.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your father. My heart goes out to you and your family. My dad was the same age when he passed as the result of a major heart attack. It sounds like the time you spent with your dad lately was a real gift. I hope that will be a comfort to you in the sad times.

Kelly, I'm so glad you had the quality time recently with your dad! That is something you'll cherish forever; some people don't get that before losing their loved ones because it happens more unexpectedly. I lost my dad when I was 9 (he was 47) on a Sat. morning and there were many times I just ached for him when it was time for our 'rituals' just like you having your coffee with him. You're in my thoughts & prayers for healing. Allow yourself to grieve as long as you need to.

Kelly, please accept my sympathy for the loss of your dad. I lost my mom suddenly when she was 55. I hope the happy memories are fast to replace the sadness you feel.
