I was honestly hoping I wouldn't have to write this post for a long, long time.
On Friday, July 6th my dad grew tie-dyed angel wings. Crap. I can't believe it's already been 10 days.
My mom, sisters and I were holding him as he took his last breath. I can honestly say it was the most terrifying and beautiful moment of my entire life.
We had a wonderful service for him- everyone wore Hawaiian shirts and tie-dye [just as he requested] and we listened to Bob Marley. As hard as that day was, it was so nice to see everyone celebrating my dad.
Nothing can ever prepare you for losing a parent and even though we knew it was coming- it still hits you like a ton of rocks. I am firmly in denial but I miss him every day.

Jenny,good luck in this very sad time in your lives.I hope the good memories will comfort you in times of sadness.
Today is my father's 5th birthday in Heaven,and I can honestly say,it hurts today,just as much as it hurt 5 years ago,to be without the most important man I ever knew in my life.But the hurt gets easier to handle,and you learn to live with the remembering and the missing.It just takes a lot of time.
I can't imagine the hurt you and your family are feeling. I am so sorry for your loss.
((Hugs)) I am so sorry for your loss
I am so sorry; I am praying for your family in these beyond-difficult days.
