Remembering a Special Person

[lbeery]

Today is the 11th anniversary of the passing of my father.  I still miss him so.  He was a very special person, outside of being my father.  He loved us all very much and loved life.  He was always doing something new and loved to create things.  He would come up with the most helpful gadgets when anyone was working on a project.  Loved to do a special holiday decoration project, built beautiful furniture and helped all three of his girls refurbish their cars.  Even more than when I was young, I miss the benefit of his experience and advice.  I seem to be picturing his hands as they went about their tasks....sanding wood, changing oil, building fence, digging holes, reading the paper.. Ha, he used to read the paper to us at mealtimes and add funny stuff between the lines.  He had a great laugh and would literally laugh out loud at cartoons.  HE and I always did the Marshall Dillon shoot out from Gunsmoke.  Hope he and Mamma are together and happy.  We sent them our dog last fall...hope they are all together.  Damn.

 I feel for you. Even though the years fly by, it's still hard, especially on the day they left us.  My mom has been gone for 4 years - I agree with you about the memories and thoughts staying with us.  I hope you hang in there.  It's been said that even though they aren't here with us in person, they are always with us in our hearts and memories.

My dad has only been gone for almost 6 months and its been really hard specially since I have been taking care of him since I was 19 yrs old.  He pasted away in Sept. 2010 very unexpectly and when you go from a daily paying every bill, groceries, making sure he has everything he needed plus his meds being done weekly it is very strange not doing it now.  I let myself shut down and its been really hard to get myself back to a better state of mind but with God and his word beside me I am beginning to feel better about things.

I wouldn't want to have him back in the state he was in due to so much pain and losing his ability to walk and move b/c I know he's not in any pain now.  I will always love him and I know I will get to see him again one day!  Sorry for getting so lengthly with this but just wanted to express this.  Thanks for this post.

I'm so sorry.  As a parent that would be so hard to deal with.  My daughter-in-law has miscarried twice.  I hope things ease up for you soon.

Thanks for all your kind thoughts.  Guess everyone has someone important gone from their lives.  I think it is important to think about and mention they often so that they are alive in our memories and so their angels can find us.

The day before you posted this thread was the 19th year since my uncle had got brutally murdered. I always feel the emptiness inside when March 25 comes around every year. The person who committed the crime only got 5 years in prison. That's not fair at all. They somehow managed to have a trial without a jury. That wasn't fair either. Personally, I think the judge who decided this was paid off by the defendant. I swear there's something wrong there. He should have still been rotting in prison. That's just my opinion. I feel so much that you lost the person you loved because I really know how that feels. It's an emotional scar that is hard to erase. Of course, the memories you had with your loved one are the most important. If you have pictures of him, even better. I have very few of my uncle. I keep those pictures very close to me.

I have loved ones on the other side that I will see again someday.  It's hard missing them at times, but I would never want them to come back to this earth.  They have fought the good fight and are enjoying the rewards of their hard work on earth. Each of us have our loved ones in our hearts and if they are relatives, a part of them is in us, and lives on in our children, and then their children. On and on it goes....

My auntie died on March 25.  I am so upset about her death.  My heart goes out to everyone who lost someone special.
I was thinking about planting a tree in her memory.
