hey there say, johntp... thank you so for checking in on us and on lynne...
EDIT: LYNNE, just saw your post, up above... been thinking of you too, us both, at the same time... will have to talk about this, later, :)
am doing better now, than when i was 'praying hard'--it tires one out, you know, as we feel so bad for our loved ones pains and fear...
daddys, as we most-all know, are very special... at times, as, kids, we hardly known them, as, they have to work so much... and we then, have to go to bed, to go to school...
mine, sadly, i only got to see, the last years, by phone, but, i had his picture here, always, on the shelf...
i keep walking it around the house with me, and think of him, before he
got that sickness in his system, when he was 'daddy of the house'
and loved his front-room... :(
say:
pray for my mom, she has the worst memories, to get through, after seeing him in the hospital... she wonders is she will ever get them out of her mind, :(
thank you so much, for caring the life-loss, that we all someday,
have to see our beloved folks go through... :(

Again, how are you doing Neebee along with your Mom and Family? Thinking and praying for you all.
Today we put my Dad to rest. I know many of you here on Super Topo have already experienced this in your lives. It is a solemn, difficult, emotional time. My Papa is with my best friend up in the Heavenlies. He's fine. It's us here left behind that hurt and have sorrow....missing a big piece out of our lives.
Life is about connectivity. When a huge piece of our lives goes away forever we all who are a part of that piece have to readjust. We are in flux until we figure it all out and readjust. Missing persons.....But love remains forever.

hey there say, thank you jim...
say, i just edited the first post and put a photo of my daddy...
it was from a special occasion, it is the one that i always kept around the house...
hew as very tall, and he even HAD an extra vertebrae in his back...
oh my...
a complex, but simple man, modest, while being very intelligent...
not much into the emotions of things, though he was there for those
that were in trouble--it was just his way...
had a good sense of humor, and taught us to swim, and
the importance of school and good job, though me, and some of us,
just couldn't seem to 'swim all that good at some of the school stuff',
but we all appreciated good work ethics...
we all wish we had more time with him... it was such an odd strange
awful situation for him to go through...
well:
sure wish you all had more time with your
dear folks, as well... hope that many NOW, will get that precious time...
hugs to lynnne, right now, too...

hey there say, lynee, oh my... LOOK what god did:
we just 'connected...
posted at the SAME TIME, :)
Life is about connectivity.
SO TRUE about the 'shifting' around, with the missing piece gone, :O
say, please POST a photo of your and your daddy, by the EDIT, too, on the thread above this post, and i post my photo here, so we both will have NEXT to each other... (if you would like to, i mean)
HERE is me and my daddy, again, like what i just put on the first page...
i keep praying that my mom is okay, as, we know, it is harder on the moms...
:(
most all of my pain, when out, in prayers, when i prayed for my daddy, due to his great pains and fears... :(
i will forever know that i did my best, for him, so that helps right now, as you know, it is that 'jesus' hug, that we get later, that really helps, or, we'd cry too much--especially when it is not a natural old-age death...
hugs and love to you dear lynnie...
ooops, or lynne, post it in a new post, under me, i had too many
between us, just now...

He's the Dude that gave me my love for the outdoors.
"Always leave your campsite better than when you found it." Which meant perfect. Even if you arrived and there was no wood, when you left you found some and left enough for a good fire for the next traveler.
Mom made our first tent for our first camping adventure.
Later we branched out into backpacking. Took her two weeks to put together packs, food and gear for 7 kids and two parents to backpack into the Sierra. Youngest was 5, I was @ 14. Never forget it. The fish we caught and ate along with the purity of the Sierra back then was magnificent.
Thanks Neebee for letting our Dads and Families be honored together on your Thread. Special. lynnie

Lynne, accept consolation, condolence, and a somewhat limited hug (time and space thing) from me.
I need say nothing else for a change.
Except like Red Skelton used to say, "Good night and God bless."
And neebee, it's gonna all be "Otay."
I'm glad you are you
And trouble is nothing when you're
Friendly with Jesus.

hey there say, lynne! wow, lynne! your daddy looked so strong and agile, well, as for a 90 year old... wow...
my daddy, who just had turned 84 in the hospital, had been very stiff from arthritis and got out of breath easy, due to some firbosis in his lungs... (they said no idea from what, as he did not smoke and rarely drank, and then, only wine, or a beer) ...
he was not the active outdoor type, though...
but man oh man, he'd read a book in a night, if he so chose... :O
fast, there, for sure... ;)
thank you for sharing part of who you are... our folks do make a large part
of us, as well as what we choose, out there in the world, AFTER they get done with us, ;)
and your mom looks so wonderful happy with him...
thank you so much! will see if i have a more recent pic of my daddy, later...
ps:
hugs to all those that have lost daddys, :(
share something sweet about them, today with a loved one, whether
in person or by phone... you will be glad you did...
