Twilitestar,



I seldom visit this topic which explains why this note is so late....



It is wonderful to read about how you and your family have handled your grief and are now moving on with life.

Your dad is proud of you all.

He knows how brave and caring you have all been.



I am very impressed with your family.



I have been a widow for over twenty years. Both of my parents have gone home a long time ago. With God’s help we all manage to get through the darker times and find ourselves enjoying the brigher things once again.



Thank you for sharing your experiences with the rest of us....



Enjoy your daughter and son-in-law and their kids.

They sound like such a worthwhile family.



BRAVO for all of you and may GOD BLESS YOU!

I was surprised to see this, my younger sister called me at about 6: this morning to say our Dad had passed away this morning. He was 90 yrs old and had lived as a hard worker the whole time. My Mom has been gone several years,
my wife in '04, my daughter in'05. Getting hard to find someone to talk to. So this forum I can relate to. But
I still wish I could hear from my grandkids...but their just too youthfully busy. Darn !

Sorry you've had so much loss, irezazpi.
Those grandkids need to be reminded that people don't live forever.
My condolences to you.
Be concerned about your future.
You'll spend the rest of your life there.

Hi Henrietta, I like your cat/ lion in the mirror icon. So cute! Thank you for your thoughts.

Irezazpi, So your dad and my dad had something in common...
working hard all their lives, and died on a Wednesday morning.

I can relate to getting young ones to spend time with you.
I have a nephew who will be 15 soon. I am hoping when he is driving age that I will be able to invite him over to help me do a chore or two, and either pay him or offer a nice meal.
He is now giving much of his time to helping raise his baby brother who is only one year old.

He is always glad to see me, but we have to make the effort to connect, which seems very hard, but is always worth it.
I do hope you will be able to see your grandchildren more.
Maybe you can ask them about their schedules and try to attend some of their activities?

Here are a couple verses for you:

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14:
Those Who Died in Christ
13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep,
so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those
who have fallen asleep in Jesus.
************

He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
Psalm 147:3 KJV

My condolences to you and your sister and family.

Thank you for your kind words 'Twilitestar' We seem to have about the same philosophys, but my grandkids are gone to Michigan and I'm in Oregon. I've been with-out them over a year now and believe it or not, I'm having to learn all new how to grocery shop and I don't have to pinch pennies as tight, but I'm still re-scheduling and cooking wrong for an old Grandpa with no kids around. It was interesting seeing this subject come up, the same day my dad passed on. He had a hard time accepting...he was getting older. Thats a tricky thing to deal with because one still has to make him feel worthy with strength that are needed in the family but I think when it dawned on him that every year he was a little older, he gave up...We use to tease him about living to be a 101, because not people die when there over a 100.
But 90 was enough for him and we respect that. soooo, life goes on...

Hi Irezazpi,
It is interesting the things we have in common. I found it hard to live by myself not buying groceries for 2, when my daughter moved off to college. It takes time to learn to cook for just one.
My dad also acted like he was going to live forever, working until a year before he died, then with a stroke he began to realize his fraility at 82. Then this year when he kept having to have surgeries, he decided to let go, and realize this life on earth was done for him. That is such a hard thing for anyone to do, but it makes it easier when the patient is able to make the decision for themselves, then the family can accept it with less regrets. My dad used to tease people that he was John Travolta in disguise. He did not want to feel old. I think he looked more like Dean Martin. The pic on my avatar is of my only child and her youngest son.
