It’s over. My Dad has left this mortal coil.
My mom said it was peaceful and was over in less than 4 minutes. The hospital did everything they could. For whatever reason, his body could not recover.
I am relieved and ripped wide open simultaneously. I know there is a lot more going on in my head than what I can articulate right now. It would be nice to pry it out with a knife but somehow I think that would precipitate a complete breakdown.
Many thanks again, to all of you, for your wonderful support. It has been a rock for me in this time of loss.
Timothy L, May 7th, 1944 – March 6th, 2009
I love you so much, Dad.
My deepest condolences and sympathy, Lach – to you, your mom, Bayou, and everyone around you. Remember only the love.
Much love to you and your family, dear one. I like the title of your post; he is free.
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. May your memories help you through this difficult time.
I’m so sorry. Wishing you peace and strength. {{{ }}}
So sorry to hear about your dad… be kind and patient with yourself. You don’t need to pry what you’re feeling out. Just feel it. We’ll be thinking of you.
So sorry, it is so sad.
You don’t have to pry it out, with a knife or otherwise. The feelings come when they will, and you ride them out.
And you will ride them out, because deep in your heart you know you can, and because that’s what you do for someone you love.
Take heart. Take some time off. And please take care.
I’m so sorry my dear.
Peace be with you, and your family.
Lach, I am sorry to hear about your dad but admire your perspective on the situation. Will you be going home for the funeral?
Thanks, all. Hugs to every one of you.
Yes, Bayou and I will be going home sometime next week. They’re doing an autopsy so the services will be delayed till around midweek.
peace.
I’m so sorry Lach.
You and your family are in my thoughts.
Hugs and peace.
I’m very sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself.
I’m so sorry. I’ll keep you in my thoughts.
I am so very, very sorry. Y’all are in my thoughts.
I’m late responding, but I’m terribly sorry. Knowing it may be coming doesn’t necessarily make it easier. Hang in there, kiddo. You’ve got a lot of people who love you around. *hugs*
I’m so, so sorry.
