Riograce Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 If a little girl is very, VERY lucky, the first man in her life who loves her unreservedly, thinks she's smart enough to be anything she wants to be, and *knows* no other man is good enough for her, is her daddy. A few hours ago, I said my final goodbye to him at the funeral home. Through the heartbreak, I feel profoundly blessed to have had him for fifty-plus years and know that there was never a moment when I wasn't one of the dearest things in his life. I wish all little girls could be as lucky as I was - and am. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

pwilhelm Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my Mother almost a year ago....and while I grieve a little everyday, I am profoundly joyful at having such a wonderful woman as my Mom. This past year has changed me greatly, my gratitude for her love is immeasurable. It sounds like your Dad was an awesome man and an even more awesome father. His love will never leave you.

fishnthec Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 What a beautiful testimony to your dad. My biological father was killed in a car accident when I was just 4. I was lucky to be blessed with another "dad" to raise me, but I will forever be sad that I didn't have that father/daughter relationship that you had with your dad. I am sorry for your loss.

LPPT Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 So sorry for your loss, the loss of a parent leaves us feeling a little alone in the world. There is security in the love of a parent that nobody else can fill. Link to post Share on other sites
Riograce Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Thanks to everyone for their kind words. As LPPT said, the world does feel a little colder with him gone. The last several days have just made me more conscious of the family I have left and the friends who care and the acquaintances who are good enough to sympathize with my loss - and say so. I'm grateful for all of you. Link to post Share on other sites
