My father slipped from this life Tuesday morning at around 5:15 am. He breathed his last as my mom, my sister and I held him and told him good bye and kissed him. There is the emptiest, blackest, achiest place in my heart right now and I'm afraid the pain will never leave.
However, I know that Daddy's gone home to be with his parents from this life, the grandparents he never met and his heavenly Father. He will get to argue the finest points of theology with the best of those who have gone before him. And he will sing with the heavenly chorus.
My father had an amazing life, a 50 year ministry, and a wealth of friends and family who will miss him terribly. But we are all comforted knowing that he is at peace and where he should be.

I am so sorry Beth.
I am so sorry for your loss Beth- it is one that never leaves you... embrace the grief and take one day at a time. It will contain within it many beautiful gifts- and you'll come to know and love your father in new and different ways. Even though he isn't with you physically, your relationship with him is still very much alive. It took me so long to realize that with my mom. 3 years later I'm still learning. :O) I will remember you in prayer.
So sorry for your loss. We will keep you in our thoughts and hearts.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom to a heart attack just over two years ago and there's not a day that goes by I don't think of her.
My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
So very sorry for your loss, Beth. There is nothing that can prepare you for this and I can only hope that you can somehow feel the love and support that is being sent your way. Your are cared for deeply by your friends. I have been sent here by someone who loves you.
