Thanks for posting that M23...I have something to tell you ...and it freaked me out. I want to email it to you....please email me at my yahoo address below. I think it will freak you out too !!!

Oh poop on it...I'll post it here. It's not that big of a deal. I just don't post much about my children on here.

Here goes...I have 2 sons...
Justin 20
Evan 16

How wierd is that.

I have a daughter... Keeley who is 18. (if Keeley had been a boy, his name would have been Aaron Thomas) but she wasn't a boy....so she's Keeley Lynne... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> My son's name is Evan Thomas! Aaron nicholas is the baby! HOLY MOLY...Justin Alexander is the 9 y/o!

I think we have more in common than we realized!

I'm trying so hard to write the eulogy right now..have put this off so long...I am in shock though right now..I guess the hard times will come later...especially with my wondering husband sstill wondering..although he claims to LOVE ME...whatever...thank you so much!

I knew that would freak you out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
I have a Justin Andrew
and an Evan Douglas

just too wierd.

You are STILL in shock...and from my own memory...it took about 2 to 3 months for the shock to wear off. You will go through the motions of life..that's about all.

It's survival right now...you're the eldest daughter... like me..... and it's our job to take care of stuff... haven't you figured THAT out by now ????? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

When my mom passed, I was concerned first with my dad, my brothers, my sister, my kids...and many months LATER...bam...then my own grief set in.

Be prepared for this.

This is difficult. I tell you with love...that it's going to get worse before it gets better.

Indidently, your dad passed away on my birthday.A and our OW lives in Texas.

You and I are living in a parallel universe....does this mean I get to hunt D23 down and smack into his own reality ?

Don't worry about him right now. I have my suspicions on what WILL happen, but it will be in your VERY best interest to let him meet his OWN demise..and you know it's coming..right ???

Sometimes...we all have to hit ROCK BOTTOM...before the fog REALLY clears.

((((M23B))))

I haven't been on the computer (except for work) in a few days. I am so sorry to hear about your dad. You've been, and will remain, in my thoughts and prayers.

It's almost like you wish you could wear a sticker like they give you when you give blood "Be Nice To Me..." One that would say "Be Nice to Me, I Buried My Father This Year."

I hope that people treat you nice for awhile...as long as you need. You are a special lady. I'll be thinking of you.

Kandi -

I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. I read his obit, it is beautiful and speaks of a man who lived his life well.

He has left a legacy that will mean much to your 3 boys...something that you can thankful for.

I'll pray for you, too.

I am Dad to 2 boys.

*hugs mom* hey sweetie sorry I haven't been around....been dragged through the mud a bit lately...but I want you to know I am here for you and we all love you here and anytime you needs us all you gotta do is post....*hugs* we wish you and your family well and our prayers are with you...

I'm so sorry for your loss. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

You are indeed a strong woman.

Mom
I just got on the forum and saw this. I am so sorry for your loss. The obit describes a loving family man. How is your mum holding up? And how is your father's mother?

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Kandi, thanks for sharing your father's obit. he obviously was a wonderful man. I will be thinking about you today as you say your final goodbyes.

I wrote more to you the other day on the other thread you have going. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and those who loved your dad. God Bless! CV

If I should go before the rest of you
Break not a flower nor raise a stone
Nor when I'm gone speak in a Sunday voice
But be the usual selves that I have known
Weep if you must
Parting is Hell,
But life goes on,
so sing as well.

I lost my Dad and my Mom. I feel for you.

Your soul sort of diverts paths around the hole your folks deaths leave but the holes themselves never close up.

be happy that you were loved.

And as my Dad said to me on his deathbed when he woke and caight me weeping:

" Don't cry son, its supposed to happen this way"
{{{{M23B}}}}

M23B,

Sending thoughts of peace and love help to you and your family today. Your father's loving presence will be with you always. My mother died almost 23 years ago, and I feel her presence strongly at times.

Thank you all for your support through this incredibly hard time in my life. The service was very beautiful and the weather was perfect. I read the Eulogy and I made it thru without a full breakdown. My H was by my side the entire time with all his support. He held me and was ready to take over if need be....I will miss my father tremendously, but I do kknow he is in a much bettre place and he is no longer in any pain. Now I just need to focus on the Xmas holidays and try to make life as normal as I can for my darling children...

MT3B-
I am glad you have made it through this. i was happy to read that DT3B came and showed his support for you in this time. I will continue to pray that he sticks around and does his best to make this marriage work, and to right his wrongs. Continue support will be needed. My best to you and your family.
