Oh! Rindy, Please accept my deepest condolences to you and your family...the loss of one parent is always a most difficult and hard one...my thoughts and prayers are for you on this day...and though there is no real words of comfort that I can say except that I wish you courage and may you find peace within your soul. Diane a.k.a Lady of Avalon  |

| Rindy, I too wish to offer my condolences. Losing a parent is something most of us go through, but it is never easy. I know you miss him, but understand that he will always be with you..in your memory, in the words of wisdom or humor that come at unexpected times, in the little quirks you have that are like him, in any of a hundred different ways, he is there. And that's not even mentioning his love that will always be there too. No words can fill the loss, but know that your friends are here for you. |

| Rindy; You have my most sincere and deepest condolences on the loss of your Father. It is really hard when someone who has been there all your life is now gone. If I may though, also rejoice for he has started out on a new journey that leads to wonders unimagined. May the Creator watch over and guide him in his travels. Camac. |

| Rindy, I am very sorry for your loss and I will keep you in my thoughts. Everyone has said the words I would use but know as well that it only helps a little bit when the pain is so strong. You have friends here and I know we all wish we could be there to hug you and give you a shoulder to cry on. But know that we are here when you need to talk and to help you get back on your feet. Deep peace to you, Jay |

| Rindy, I'm new to this site, but just have to tell you I am so sorry for your loss. My Dad passed in November, and my Mom four years ago. I miss them more than ever in the physical, but I know they are always with me in spirit. I often feel their loving presence and reassurance. Just this afternoon I pulled an Angel Card, which was from Archangel Azrael, the angel who helps people transition through the veil to the other side. The message was: "Hello from Heaven!", "Your loved ones in Heaven are doing fine. Let go of worries, and feel their loving blessings." May the angels be with you in this difficult time. Maggie |

| Rindy, I am so sorry for your loss; you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know that they are happy. Author Unknown I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love. Leo Buscaglia |

| Hi sweetie! I just wanted to add my condolensces to the rest. I lost my dad when I was around 14, so I didn't really have time to get to know my dad like you did, so I can understand how much harder this is for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Luv you dear! Allen |

| Rindy -- He has a life in your memory, and a little spark of it is in the memory of everyone who knew him. When you feel like you can, tell us about him too. We're here and thinking about you. stoirmeil |

| I just want to say thank you all for your thoughts, and prayers and kind words of support. It has helped me very much. Losing a parent is very hard. The deacon had an example of everytime you cry think of it as your heart having a big hole and everytime you cry it scabs over and heals until finally you are left with a very small hole. It never goes away completely as the memory of them are still with you. Another person said congratulations to Dad on his promotion. I thought that was kind of cool. You folks are the best! Thank you again. Slainte |

| Rindy, My deepest apologies to you and your family. Losing a parent is so difficult, no matter what the age. Here is a little poem I have posted elsewhere on here that you might find some small comfort from these words: I’m Free Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free I’m following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard him call I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that place at the close of day. If my parting has left a void Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss. Ah yes, these things, I too, will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My Life’s been full, I savored much. Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me God wanted me now, He set me free. |

| Dear Rindy, I apologize because I've just known about your Dad... There are no words to describe what happens inside us in these moments.. I've lost mine when I was 14 and every day he's in my memories.... I'm very sorry for you and your family Rindy. I'm near you with all my heart.... iolanda |
| Posted by: JayHenson 26-Jan-2009, 06:02 PM |
| Rindy Here are a couple of songs that are comforting to me and 2 that I want played at my own memorial to hopefully help those I love find comfort http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag_vltbWHz8&feature=channel_page http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2aLSat3h0w&feature=related These are sung by Libera. I really hope they bring you some measure of peace. Hugs Jay |

| Rindy, I'm so sorry to see this topic. And I'm sorry that my laziness kept from from being here for you sooner. I'm fortunate to still have both of my parents, but a friend of mine recently lost her father to a sudden heart-attack (he was only a year older than me!). An only child, she was left with wrapping up his business in two fields (accountant and nurse), clean up his condo for sale, deal with relatives, etc. Seems to me that the tragedy isn't always just (!) the death, but the grief and difficult work that follows that death. I hope that you are getting a lot of support from your local friends and family, and that you've been able to take some comfort in the sincere good wishes sent to you by the members here. Love and hugs to you and your family! |

| oh rindy!! i am so sorry i understand your pain. my dad left in 1988 and you know what? You dont ever stop missing him. I cried just Saturday night on the way home from "Lord of the Dance" when this song came on the radio by MercyMe "Finally Home" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EkI0WE4Aps I’m gonna wrap my arms around my daddy’s neck And tell him that I’ve missed him. And tell him all about the man that I became And hope that it pleased him There’s so much I want to say There’s so much I want you to know Chorus When I finally make it home When I finally make it home Then I’ll gaze upon the throne of the King Frozen in my steps And all the questions that I swore I would ask Words just won’t come yet So amazed at what I’ve seen So much more than this old mind can hold Chorus Bridge And the sweetest sound my ears have yet to hear Voices of the angels There is Hope.. Peace to your heart. |
