Been A While

I've been off here for some time while my dad was in hospice. Well the inevitable has happened and we received a call about 4:30 this morning and my dad is now with his family and friends who departed over the years. I'm trying to keep myself together, but must say I've been better.

I've missed you

Jennie

jennie62 , What a great picture! Thanks for sharing. I truly understand where you are right now - my Dad was in Hospice before we lost him. Eventually and slowly, the sadness you are feeling right now will be replaced with happy memories that will make you smile. Trust me, that is what happened to me.

jennie62 , sorry for your loss. The picture conveys the loving relationship between the two of you. Love that your blue nail polish matches his shirt, father-daughter connection! And of course your beautiful matching blue eyes!!

MrBigCat The picture is wonderful and thank you for your wonderful words and keen observation, but the picture is of my mom and dad. They truly loved each other for 63 (almost 64) years.

You are so right, you caught on quickly to that. Dad and Mom loved each other and still do. I can feel him around us especially mom.

Fortunately I have family and friends who have been around mom, brother and me. I don't remember having so many hugs and kisses from so many around us. What's the worst is trying to get my mom to slow down and take a minute for herself. I finally talked her into letting me do her laundry today and everyone else has been bringing food for us. Something I can't believe because so how much food has arrived in less than one day!!! Thanks to my daughter who was able to explain to me last night after I asked "why people brought food" She said very simply "it's comfort food". I have to admit it is nice to find everything I need to heat up a meal so my mom doesn't do so much cooking for all who have been here. Those that have come over have refused to eat even though I'm offering everyone food (I'm going to take the food to the homeless shelter(s) and seniors, there is just too much!)

Mom and dad loved each other so much and for so long she wants to make sure everything is "just right". I've told her many times (as well as others, including my brother) dad would want her to relax and not worry about the "little things", but mom won't listen to me or anyone. Then again she never has. My daughter is too worried about me and not caring how she feels. So many times I've said she has had a loss too because she and dad were very close, but she keeps on worrying about me. Hmmm, she'd never admit it, but she is so much like my mom it is funny.

Well, not sure if I'll be around over the next week, (then again I could find a little time for me). Just want to make sure I say THANK YOU and give you all HUGS for being there and caring for me. I love you all and I feel grateful for having you as my other family.

Jennie62, it's Fancy1959. It is so very good to hear from you again but I hate the reason that it has happened. I wish to offer you my deepest condolences. I lost both my parents some time ago and it is never easy even if you know it's coming to to health reasons. Take some time for yourself and make sure you're okay before you over do it. I look forward to talking to you again and until we do please take care. Fancy

Jennie62. Sorry sorry for your loss. I lost both of my parents years ago and still miss them so much especially during the holidays. But I know both of them would be saying you don't have to worry about us ever again take care of yourself. Please take their advice for yourself.

God bless you and your family. May God comfort you in this sad time in your lives.
