My God, I can't even imagine! That's a very serious fear of mine as the days and months are more quickly turning into years. My Dad, besides my wife, is my absolute best friend. I am SO SORRY to hear of your loss. A very special prayer goes out to you and your family. Hang in there man! Just know in your heart of hearts that your Father would not want you to be sad....!
I know he wouldn't want me to be sad...but it hurts so damn deep inside that I can't help but be sad. I don't know what to tell my kids....that their papaw is gone.....how do you do tell your 6 and 2 year old's that papaw isn't coming back.....
That's a hard one but as far as the 6 year old understanding goes, a book called "The Fall of Freddie the Leaf" does wonders in explaining this for all ages. Check it out, he'll get it.
I'm so sorry Shane. Had he been ill, or was this sudden? I lost my mom many years ago, and I still miss her greatly. You and your family are in my prayers. Keep your father alive in your children's heart.
