(((((((wii))))))). It is so apparent how much your family means to you. I can equate your loss to that of my grandmother's...even though you know it is coming it is still difficult. You have my heartfelt sympathy and my prayers.
Hugs and love, kat

Thanks everyone, it's been a tough day! Been up since 3:00 am, spent the afternoon at the funeral home making arrangements which still aren't solid yet, went to Mom's with the family and we went through picture albums looking for good photos of Dad. The funeral home sent a lasagna home with us, that was nice. Dad's cancer doctor from the hospital phoned in the afternoon to see how Mom was doing, again, nice. Afterwards I headed up to see my two girls and make sure they're OK. The eldest stayed home from school and the youngest went to school and I drove her to gymnastics. I informed the coach of the situation and now I'm at home. I'm beat. I still just can't imagine that I'll never see or hear or talk to my Dad again in this lifetime...it's just too big to comprehend. Gonna try to nap now. Thanks for all the love and kind thoughts you've all sent my way, they matter!
I am so sorry about your dad's passing but he is in the best of hands now. Take care of yourself and your family and all of us are here for you should the need arise...

My condolences, WII. I haven't followed your path the whole way, but I know you're a conscientious and loving man who puts his family before all else. Take care of yourself so that you can care for your family, even your lost wife.
Wii Like everyone else, I am sorry to hear of your father, I know you will always cherish the wonderful memories you have of him He was a great man,who has a great son
love and hugs and prayers XX
Be Happy for this Moment, This Moment is your Life
Wii .... words aren't enough. This is such a big milestone in your life. Losing a parent, especially a close one, is hard. Take care of yourself, and console and be consoled in the arms of your family. God heard and allowed him to go in his sleep ... that is a blessing.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thanks again everyone. It's even harder this time of year because the baseball season is starting, Dad's favourite thing in the world (besides his family) and there's a federal election coming up in Canada and did he ever love to bitch about politicians (his next favourite thing in the world)!!! Today my brother is coming up to hang out together, we have no idea what we'll do. Last night I just sat and cried and cried. Every time I stopped, I'd start again! My head hurt from crying. I know it will come and go. The funeral service will be on Thursday and Mom has decided that if the church hall we want isn't available for a reception we'll just have it at home...end of story, Mom has spoken! Gotta go and clean up now, I wouldn't want my brother to see a dirty apartment, now would I
