Jay, all my thoughts are with you and I'm sending huge hugs your way.
I'm so happy that your father got to see and hold all the boys. That's so important and a loving memory that you'll have forever. I remember when you took Buzz to meet him for the first time, that was so lovely.
So sorry to hear about your dad. I've been there too, and my thoughts are with you. Keep up your positive attitude, and know that you and your kids being there makes all the difference in the world.
jay i am so sorry for you and your family my grandfather was put into hospice care 3 years ago when i was in the middle of giving birth to my 3rd child it was a really hard time i will pray for you and your family.
First, I cannot thank you all enough...the prayers and thoughts and comforting words you guys offered really do mean a lot. I am sitting here with a borrowed lap top, on the hotel internet connection, in the middle of the night and reading them has made me smile.
This afternoon we lost my dad. Sad barely begins to cover what I feel BUT... I know that it is just a wonderful start for him. It's sort of crazy but although I am so sad, I am even more happy for him and relieved that he is no longer in pain. Life is so precious and amazing and I am even more determined now to hold on to the joys life brings and commited to let everything else fade away.
Dh, myself and Buzz were with him along with my sister and his brother/s-i-l. I don't think you could have asked for a room full of more love. Having all of the boys around him these past few days (along with all of his other grandkids and the rest of the family) made his final moments ones full of laughter and playing and I think all of us will always cherish those memories.
Anyway, thank you all and I will try to get back to sharing more about our trip (now more than ever, reliving the happy times at WDW sounds like a very good thing to me) sometime later next week. I am sorry to have hijacked my own trip report and I promise that as soon as I get back to a bit more of an even keel, I will bring back the pixie dust and shake out the cobwebs of sadness and get this trip report back on track. I am have so many more wonderful memories of that special trip to share and I am even half smiling now thinking about getting to take a trip back into my memories of them.
Oh Jay, I am so very sorry. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and your whole family. I'm glad your dad is at peace though. I'm also glad you got to spend that precious time with him. Again, I am just so sorry.
Jay, I'm so sorry for the loss of your dad. I know what you mean when you say that you are so sad, but so happy to know that he's no longer in pain, and in a better place now. We lost my dad after he struggled with lung cancer for 6 years, and by the time he passed, we so wanted the struggle to be over for him. You know he'll always be with you, and your wonderful family will help you when you are missing him. My prayers for you and your family.
