Oh Siggy, I am pouring out so much love to you right now. You will always be his "Little Girl."


Well, I can promise.

My daughter and I are close. We see each other every day. She's my friend, my confidante, my kid. I'm her friend, her confidant, her parent.

You get right to baseline, and she'll always be my little girl. She always sees me as the man other guys should be like. I hope and believe I'll die before she does, but whether or not that happens, that core elemental bond is always there.

As long as one of us is alive, she'll be my Little Girl, and I'll be her Daddy. It's the fact.

Best to you, Sigs.

May his memory be a blessing.

Every loss is different, because every individual is different.
But I remember how I felt when my dad (z'l) died.

I thought I would die of a broken heart, but I didn't.
Don't try to be strong, it's not necessary (unless that's your usual default setting).

Some days will be better than others.
You may never "get over" this, but you will learn to live with it.

Don't expect too much of yourself or other people.
Some people don't know how to deal with death.
Be prepared for surprises - sometimes the people you expect to support you are gone with the wind.
But you'll also find friends that you never knew you had.

You might feel that the world is spinning and whirling around you,
You're standing still.
Sometimes you might feel why is the world still turning when your daddy isn't here.

Reach out and someone will be there.
Always.

Good evening.

I have to say....

I was having a hard time. I couldn't seem to cry. I know I should cry. Wanted to cry. NEEDED to cry...but I could not.

Then, I came here and read your posts. I read the Personal Profile posts and all the PM's.

I'm gonna cry tonight. Y'all gave me permission to cry and throw up my pain and sorrow.

I thank each and everyone of you.

I offer you PEACE.

Hey.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts and words.

This Sunday will be the first Fathers Day without my Daddy. I will go to my family home and visit with my brothers, SIL, my niece and nephews. We will celebrate all the fathers there and be happy. And we will remember Daddy, my Philip and all the fathers who went beyond.

Fathers Day. Some times we will smile. Other times we will weep missing them. We will always remember what they gave us and how they made a such positive impact on our lives.

Peace.

This is a year of firsts. Some of them will be more difficult than others.

I'm glad you will be with family.
'A year of firsts', that wisdom is so unbelievably true, I had no idea, no real concept of that idea, it just becomes real, incrementaly, I guess as it should be, supposed to be, until it is.
Sig, it's so great you have great family, that makes so much difference, lots of care, much love, and great peace, to you and each and every one of yours, have many hugs and much laughter.
