So sorry to hear this. I'm sure he appreciated all that you all did for him these last few months. You did a good thing.

I didn't do anything special. You know several people have told me that I took such good care of him etc.....
See to me I don't think I did anything special, I fact it was a bit selfish on my part because I just wanted so much more time with him and took all I could get. I just simply did what any child would do for their parent. He used to hold my hand and help me with I was sick so it was my privalege to do the same for him. We had a long journey together and it was my job to end the journey with him. And on that note I think I will go lie down and try to nap before I drive 6 hours to pick up his grandchildren and turn around and come back.
Bless you all and again thank you so much for allowing me to come here.Welcome to earth, my name is Tia and I'll be your tour guide for this trip.

You know Tia, my grandmother died a while ago. A couple of weeks before she suddenly fell ill and was put into coma from which she never awoke. The thing is, that in the last years of her life she has lived life to the fullest, and when she was in her death-bed, she was constantly surrounded by her children and grandchildren. (she passed away before my eyes in fact) She had died happily and that was a great relief to me.
What I'm trying to say is that you've been real close with your father in the last stage of his life, and I think he may not have wished a better ending than to be with his loved one(s). I hope that the thought he died happily will be as much a consolation to you as it has been to me....

I'm sorry Tiamat. My grandpa passed away Sunday so I have a little idea of the sadness. Hang in there and know we are all sending our prayers and kind thoughts to you...Which side are we on? We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We are evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that. --Saul TighComment

Tia, I know it's been a long, hard time. Know that your loss moves us, too. Hang in there, now.Comment

Tiamat, The strength of your father shines so obviously in his daughter. From your posts it is obvious what a special man he was...it is equally obvious what a special daughter he has.
Hang in there, you and your family are being prayed for all over the world right now. May God grant you peace."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003Comment

When we'er born,
We cry, while all those about us smile.
We should live our lives so that when we die,
We smile. while all those about us cry.
Good job.

Remember him with pride - there seem to be a million reasons.
I was not that sad when my father died, because I knew it was coming. I had been mourning his death for two years before it happened. I had cried in front of my drinking buddies several times and explained to them my dad had cancer. So I had lots of time to prepare myself mentally, and let out some steam.So get your Naomi Klein books and move it or I'll seriously bash your faces in! - Supercitizen to stupid students

I shall pray for you and your family.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

My deepest condolences and sympathies, Tia.
I come to think that when somebody who loves you so much passes away, he/she actually never leaves you by the true sense of the word, for you are as the person that you are, a result of his/her love.
My prayers go out for you and the great man that your dad was."Common sense is as rare as genius" - Ralph Waldo EmersonComment
