    My Daddy Passed 11-15-05

    in Remembrance

    Posted

    Today is the day for the funeral.

    It's going to be so hard!

    My dad was a huge horseshoe player when I was growing up.

    For the funeral, I am walking up in the beginning of the service with his horseshoe box with a brother on each side of me. At the front of the chapel, I place the box next to his picture and open it (he's been cremated so no casket), each brother will take out a horseshoe and place it on either side of his picture.

     

    If everyone could please think of me to give me strength to do this, I will need it. I don't know that I will be able to do it without breaking apart.

     

    Positive energy will be need tonight from 4-8pm central time.

     

    Thank you to everyone that has PM'd me. I have gotten so many from people that I don't even know and you have no idea how much it has meant to me.

     

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    My mom called me at work around 9:15am today and said that my dad passed peacfully in his sleep which was the way he wanted it. He had been in hospice since July and his body was gradually fading away. I was supposed to watch him this Friday night so my mom could have a break, Friday will be his memorial service instead.

    This was expected, just not expected right now. We really thought he would make it until Christmas. He will be really missed and I love him so much!

    I just got home from making all the arrangement (who knew it would take 3 hours and cost so much just for cremation and a memorial service??) and took the pups for a short walk in the rain/snow that is falling. I cried hard and am crying now. I thought I was all dried up already. I never knew how I would feel when it finally happened and had been trying to prepare myself. Tonight, I asked my mom at dinner, when will it sink in?

    I'm home alone right now and will go snuggle with my pups. My house is sooo quite except for the tippy toes of my foster dog roaming around downstairs on my wood floors.

    Please keep my family in your thoughts.

    edited to add that today is the anniversary of my dad and his first wife. I think it's awesome that he went back to be with her on this day.

    Her mom passed away at 2:30am this morning from a hard battle with cancer.

    Please keep Trish in your thoughts, she's really taking this hard even though she knew it was going to happen. The funeral will be Friday.

    Trish doesn't visit GT much but I will pass on posts to her.

    Thanks

    Kari
