Remember, he will always be part of you...

10. Thanks *hugs* It's been easier than when I lost mom, because I didn't have another
parent's grief to cope with along with mine. But still, yesterday kinda hit me hard all of a sudden. :(

11. Hang in there. I lost both of mine last year,
The toughest part for me is not being able to tell them any good news that happens.

:pals:

13. Thanks! *hugs* I know what you mean. I am sad that my kids are growing up without their grandparents
who would have enjoyed them so much! I had a very distinct feeling the other day that my dad misses the boys.

12. Almost a year now since my mother died.
A year ago yesterday we found out she had a brain tumor and cancer all over. She was gone 6 weeks later. It was a weird feeling yesterday, and I suspect it'll be even weirder on June 6th.

I'm very sorry you're feeling this way. :hug:

14. Thanks Forky! *hugs* I am feeling somewhat better.. or maybe I am feeling less because I have
been eating too much. *sigh* That's probably more likely.

We lost my MIL to pancreatic cancer in a similar fashion. They found it too late, so she had a "short" illness and then passed on. :( Damned cancer.

15. I'm sorry. It's a tough thing...
My mother died six years ago and I still miss her, and my dad just passed away two weeks ago. That hasn't quite sunk in yet, but it will. I still want to call him up every evening to see how he's getting along, like I'd been doing for the past few months since his health started failing, but then I realize I can't do that any more.

My condolences. I really do know how you feel.

17. Yeah. It really is tough when you think of something you want to share, but then you can't. :^(
