Nini,
I received your email and responded, but, again, I want to say I'm sooooo sorry! It's hard to go through losing our parents (both of mine and my in-laws are gone) but it's comforting to know their suffering is over!
I'm praying for you and your family for God's comfort, strength, encouragement and love!
LOVE YOU!
CJ

Nini.....my heart is with you. As you know, my Daddy went home in November. Maybe they are sharing a cup of Joe. :)

Nini, I am so sorry. May God's peace be with you. My dad got a little better right before he died, too. I think that happens quite often. Why I do not know...only God does. Prayers for you and your family.
Hugs,

So sorry. I dread the day one of my parents pass. Praying for peace and know that he's now with God.

Thank you for your prayers and friendship, girls. You all mean so much to me!
Sharon, I know you're ALWAYS here for me. You are such a blessing! I hope you know I'm always here for you, too. :)
Cindy, I know... I thought I was prepared; I thought I could handle it; but I don't think there is any way we can ever be prepared. There is no experience like it. I pray your parents live forever, and that every moment shared becomes a treasured gift!
Hugs and love -

Nini I am so sorry about losing your sweet father. I have not been on Maryjanes for quite awhile due to sickness and family at my house.
I lost my father 12 years ago and its a hard one for sure.......I still miss him but the good times now are what I remember best.I can smile now when I remember him when I use to cry. Time helps us deal with loss. Praying for you girlfriend and your family.Big hugs to you and yours.

Awww... Thank you, girls. I'll tell you, nothing really does prepare you for this. I've been feeling so heavy and so "pulled under" these past few days. I guess it's a bit of depression. Can't sleep, don't feel like eating, don't feel like doing anything really; I just feel all achy and blase. If I could sleep it all away, I would; but, as you know, life's duties call. In some ways, having to keep busy is truly a blessing. The hardest part, I think, is that there is no real closure - no wake, no funeral. So indescribably weird, yet very practical, as he wanted. It kind of leaves me feeling like I'm hanging off the edge of a cliff or something, though - I can't really put it into words. It's just so different. Nobody sharing stories, no communion of hearts, no real sense of comfort at all... It's just... Weird... And empty. And because of the holidays, it has taken for-e-ver for the final arrangements to be completed, which somehow makes it that much worse. As he is a veteran of the Navy, my stepmother was able to arrange for his interment on Monday or Tuesday at Massachusetts National Cemetery, where there will be a few words spoken and the playing of "Taps." I am truly grateful. She has also graciously offered his flag to my brother, which means so much me and my siblings. I know for a fact my dad would've wanted my brother to have it. He would be very happy, indeed. And my neighbor, being the truly loving father figure that he is, is making arrangements for a Mass to be held at our Church in his memory. Other than that, it's as if he was here one day and then isn't here anymore. Just so... WEIRD. Did I mention how weird this is?
Anyhow, I want to thank all of you for your words of comfort and support, and for the lovely cards I have received. I am always amazed by the wonderful outpouring of love as we farmgirls rise to these difficult occasions. To be the recipient is an absolutely breathtaking experience. I feel the love, and truly feel lifted up by your prayers. God bless you! Thank you!
Our sister Teri, aka kysheeplady, shared some very comforting words that I hope might also help some of you who are also experiencing the loss of a loved one. She said:
"I think Helen Keller said it best. 'What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes part of us.'"
Amen, sister. Amen! Thank you! Thank ALL of you!
Hugs and love to all -
