My Dad Passed Away

( Its been 6 months since I wrote this about my dad and
I have yet to grieve for my dad. Still hurts and I am sad
 but can't let it out yet, that he is really gone) 

 

My dad passed away yesterday May 9th 2013 at 4p.m. I wasn't called or told until I phoned my mom this Friday morning May 10th at 11 a.m to see how my dad was doing. I'm trying to understand them not calling me but I wouldn't expect anything more or

less from my ex family.

 

I am so glad I got to see my dad on 4-30-13 before he started getting worse. I am forever grateful to my niece for letting me know my dad was asking for me and Ron so that we could go see him.

My Dad was so happy we came over and he sat in his recliner, held my hand and keep saying "I'm so glad your here". After a little while visiting with dad he began to tell us about this dream he had. He said he was on a big ship, and the way he lifted up his hands & moved them up and down like the waves in the ocean, and he talked about the warm day with the warm breeze.

 The look on his face in that moment of his story telling was priceless. I believe I saw a change in my dad at that moment and it seemed like he accepted his death that was coming. There was a different look about him and then he just sat back with this smile on his face and he looked so peaceful and content until he started to fall a sleep.
 

I will never forget that day with my dad and the wonderful hug we gave each other. It was so tight and genuine, and how he whispered in my ear "I love you very much." I think we both knew that this was the last time we would see each other or hug each other again. I will treasure that day, that moment, forever in my heart.
 

So good-bye Dad, I know you're in a better place and with family, friends, seeing my daughter Charlene & my furkids all surrounding you as you arrive. What a wonderful thought .. 
Dad, I will be seeing you again.
 

I love you very much.

You were a wonderful dad.

 

Rest in Peace.
Me & my dad in 1990

 

Love you daddy
