My Dad.

Chris... I don't know you personally and didn't know your dad... but I do know the sorrow involved when you lose a parent. Sadly, I've lost both my father and mother...
and I know first hand there are no words that can change it or make it any easier for you and your family during this time of much grief and mourning.
Please accept my condolences from across the many miles and try to find some comfort in knowing that we are all praying for the peace and understanding that will only
come to you and your family over time. I can tell you, as others have, that the memories and the love that you all have and will always have for your dad; your kids for
their grandpa... will always warm all of you much like the sun warms you on a cold day on the lake.
Find comfort that your dad has left a great legacy behind him here on the earth in you, your wonderful family and in your circle of friends... and I'm sure that's really all
that any father could want or hope for out of this life. Perhaps it is love such as this that is the only objective of all of the struggles of life and death on this earth.
Now, his rewards are with our Father in heaven. Peace be with you and your family in Jesus' name. Amen

I'm sorry for your loss. Cherish your memories of him and make all the memories you can with your own children. His blood flows through your veins and your childrens. He will live forever in you and them.

When you can, take a long day on a lake somewhere all by yourself, he'll be out there with you.

So sorry to hear this. I lost my Dad 12 years ago. Time will heal the pain and the memories actually get stronger. You will remember things in the future you thought you had forgotten. Thank goodness for no long sufferage. As time goes by you will CELEBRATE this time of your life.

Lost my dad on this same day when I was 7 yrs old. Makes for a very sad Christmas. My prayers go out to you and your family. I'm glad your dad didn't have to suffer.

Chris, I too will be praying for you and your family as you struggle through this life trial. Always remember that God knows how much you can bear. He allows things like this to happen to make us stronger. As the scripture says "Weeping will endure for a night, but Joy comes in the Morning". Psalms 30:5

Wannabe (Chris)..even though we have not met....just saw the post and sorry to hear about your dad. It is like so many have said its a tough time at the Holidays.....BUT.....rest assured, that as another one who has lost a parent at this time of the year (December 26th)....that even though the pain may not get any easier ....."The memories do get sweeter with time"..... not much one can say at a time like this .....but keeping you in my prayers man.
