Umm, things didn't go as planned today.

The understatement of the year. I'm not sure how much I will be around bloggerville. I don't know. I find all of you to be very good for me. You make me feel better. With that in mind - I just don't know.

How to say this...I guess there just isn't an easy way. My Dad passed away this morning. Very unexpected - massive heart attack. He wanted that. No lingering.

So ladies, if you could say a prayer for those of us who remain - I would appreciate it. And if you want to say something for Dad - thank-you.

Okay, I'm going to get off here for now. Please understand if you email me why I am not getting back to you.

My thoughts are with you at this time. It is never easy no matter how old one is or how prepared you might be.

Dear Denise,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my mom in June and it is never easy. Try to remember that he is in a better place (mom gave us some amazing glimpses in her final days) and is watching over you. He will never be far away. You, your family and your dad will be in my prayers. We will be here when you need us.

So very sorry to hear about your father passing away. I lost my Dad 4 years ago - I remember the priest told us at that time that 'Grief is the price that we pay for love'. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
