Sorry Tami~~~~Peace to you and your family

Tami, I am so very sorry you lost your Dad. Unfortunately, you are now a member of a club no one wants in. I lost my Dad 26 years ago.

There is nothing I can say or do to ease your pain, but I truly wish I could. The only thing that will help is time.

I pray you find peace from this devastating sorrow. God bless your father's soul.

Tami,I'm so sorry!

Sorry for your loss. Special thoughts for you and family.

Tami, what strength you must have to jump online and let KT know of your loss the very day your dad died!

I'll certainly pray for you, that's for sure!

Sincere condolenses Tammy and family. It's been 16 years for me, and I still miss him terribly. Hugs and prayers for you all.

I am so sorry Tami.

Tami, I'm so sorry.

(((((Tami and Family)))))

Tami, I'm so very sorry for your loss. Even though we expect it, losing a parent is awful.

((((Tami and family))))

So sorry for your loss., Tami.

Oh Tami, I send you my sincere condolences as the loss of a father is really heart breaking and it takes quite a while to recover. Be kind to yourself, cry when you feel the need and know that he's safe and sound and waiting and watching. God bless you and may he rest in peace, amen.

((Tami and family))

Dads are special, and they always stay in your heart.

So very, very sorry.
There will be a lot of crying when you least expect it, so give in to it.
(Both of my parents have been gone for several years, and it never gets easier...)

Sending you hugs. May you always remember and treasure all the good times you had with your Dad.

I am so sorry Tami.

I know you'll get through this, but such a loss is never eaey. My thoughts are with you.

I'm sorry he wasn't able to recover. You must be exhausted from waiting and hoping. Rest. Grieve. One day the happy memories will help balance the sorrow and shock you feel now.

Sorry for your loss. I know he will be missed.

Tami, I am so sorry for your loss. Peace to you and your family. Satine

Oh Tami, how sad. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss. Wishing you comfort and strength at this difficult time.

rest in peace...for every "little girl" who loved their dad....

Thank you all so much. It means a lot to me. We moved him to hospice on Thurs. evening. They were fantastic with him, and us. Both of my DBs and one SIL stayed with him the first night. I tried, but Dad caught me when I came back from the restroom about 2:45 am. He thought I had left earlier. On Fri. night it was my youngest DB and I who stayed. Dad didn't fuss that I stayed. My other DB had a major heart attack several years ago, and desperately needed some sleep. Mom & Dad have been staying with my youngest DB. Mom will continue to. He is in charge of everything. He is doing a wonderful job, and my SIL is good with mom also. Dad was very restless until about 4 am. We were constantly jumping up to give him a sip of water, or move his bed position. When he slept, we rested. They gave him more meds about 4, and I jumped up a couple more times for water, and one last bed position. He slept then without moving or drinking until the end. As my DB watched over him, he realized it was going to be close. Other DB was on his way, and was going to pick up breakfast for us. DB called and said don't stop. I saw him coming up the sidewalk, and said here he comes, and you could see the breathing change. Dad had heard me. DB walked in as far as the foot of the bed, and he was gone.

Dad was Dad to the end. The Tech came in about 10:30 to check on him and empty his Folley bag. She checked him, went and got the container, looked at him again, and bent over to empty the bag. His eyes opened, he said "Caught you" and closed his eyes again. She about lost it! The she laughed and said it was a good thing she hadn't opened the valve! The room would have been baptized! When she came in later, I asked her if she was going to want to work night shift for a while. She laughed and said "Well, lets just put it this way. It was a trip to the rest room, with a clean up on isle 3!" It was a good memory to leave us all with.

I had had maybe 5 hours of sleep when I posted yesterday.
I took a 2 hour nap, we went out for supper, and I slept all night, barely moving. Today, as my DB didn't need me for any arrangements, I took my DD, and my DIL to be looking at dresses for the wedding. It was good to be out thinking of something happy, and we had a good time. Tomorrow, DD & I are going thru photos, and put them together for the funeral. As DD's birthday is on Wed. we are waiting until later in the week for the funeral.

Thank you all again, for the thoughts and prayers.

Tami

Sorry for the loss of your dad, tami.

(((Tami)))

so very sorry Tami......

I'm so very sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry, Tami. It sounds like he had a peaceful death, which is a nice thing. It's good that you have something positive to focus on as well.

(((Tami))) I'm sorry

Thank you all so much.

GrammyMyrna, besides family and personal friends, my friends here at the KT ARE my strength! Every day, no matter what is going on in my life. I have not seen you here, so welcome! When you have been here for awhile, you will know what I mean.

The arangements were made this morning. Viewing will be Thurs. Funeral on Friday. My kids came and helped me go thru photos today. Those are scanned in, and now I need to go thru all the ones on my external hard drive. They will be put on a flash drive and the funeral home will run a slide show on a TV of them all. The memories have been good. So far, I am doing good. When it really hits, I know it will hit hard, but I know I will get thru it.

Tami

i am so sorry for your loss, tami
