My dad, age 94, passed away from lung cancer last night. It was rapid and he was not in pain as of my phone conversation with him Sunday. I wish he hadn’t led me to believe it would be longer than that. My oldest brother made it home in time to say goodby but I was waiting for an update from my brother to help us decide when to go.
Maybe we’ll hand out links at Dad’s memorial service next week.
TTYL,
Linda
linda…
such a long life he had.
I wish you had the chance to say goodbye to him.
and yet I hate goodbyes myself. perhaps that’s why he didn’t mention how ill he was.
he might wanted to spare you that.
I would rather remember the person the way they were the last time I saw them.
i’m so sorry.
bless you.
I’m so grateful he didn’t have much pain. I also did not get to say goodbye to my Dad in person, but I know he understood and knew how much I loved him. Hugs and prayers for you and your family.
I’m so sorry for your loss!
Parents never want their children to know the worst of things. I think dad was just protecting you as he has done most of your life. We are happy to read that he wasn’t in any pain. God’s blessings for peace, comfort and strength during this difficult time.
Very sorry for your loss linda
I am sorry for your loss but glad that he was not suffering.
So very sorry about your father, Linda. I’m sure you have wonderful memories and it’s so good he wasn’t in pain.
I’m so sorry for your loss!
