Requiescat in pacem John Walter Sulcoski July 1, 1934 - Dec. 23, 2009
This is one of my favorite photos of my dad, taken when he was young, and having fun, and when the infinite possibilities of life were stretched out before him.
I'm going to be offline for a while, so play nice while I'm gone.
I lost my dad on Christmas Eve too, quite a few years ago now. I'm so sorry you've lost yours too, and at this time of year that is usually so full of joy. Sending you hugs of understanding, and wishes for peace and family love to comfort you.
My FIL passed away on 12/23 the year we were married I remember trying to do all that was needed and keeping some sort of holiday for his grandchildren who were too young to really understand what was happening ...
My entire family's thoughts are with you and your family. Do what you need to do. Come back to use when you are ready to come back. -Loraine Guritzky and the gang
My deepest condolences on the loss of your father and hope that the grief which surrounds you and your family now will lessen and meld with the wonderful memories you will always hold of him.
My mother passed days after receiving a diagnosis of acute myeloblastic leukemia; in fact, within hours she was in that semi-coma. She had thought she was merely taking a long time to get over flu.
It was a shock, but looking back, I see that she was spared weeks & months of terror. I'm grateful for that.
Your father was also spared the long stretch of terror.
The pain of loss is hard, I know. I hope these next months of adapting go quickly for you.
I am so very sorry for your loss. It is so scarey how life can change in an instant. May you find peace in having your family around as you all get through the next tough days and weeks ahead.
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Father in 1999, holding his hand as he left this earth. He is still a part of me. I wish you peace and comfort at this time and in the weeks to come.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I am just catching up on blog reading and your post about the funeral was very touching. What an abundance of wonderful gifts and comfort you received that day, in so many different forms.

ReplyDeleteMy best to you and yours.
