Dad passed away yesterday

I don't know you, but am so saddened to read your story. I lost my dad several years ago, but stories like yours make it feel like yesterday.

And I must share that I absolutely believe our loved ones send us signs. My dad loved the great blue heron. Well, just after he died, I started seeing these birds everywhere. Even driving down Route 66--6 lane highway on either side with no water in sight (herons are fans of the water) and here is this graceful, beautiful bird flying along my driving path. I take great comfort everytime I see these birds. I hope your dad doesn't continue to soak your bed, but he is surely with you.

Hang in there. My heart goes out to you.

Your story was very moving about the birds and your dad.  I had to laugh when you said my dad soaked the bed.  He was one to buble a bit when trying to communicate, and like me he spilled and bumped into things.  I can still remember at my cousin's wedding, my grandmother (Dad's mom), when she went to sit in the church pew, knocked down the kneeer in front of her and it made a resounding thump on the hardwood floors.  Soon after that, when my dad was seated, he ended up doing the exact same thing!  It was funny and my sister and I said "like mother like son".  It was hard to stop giggling about it in church. 
Thanks for your kind words. 

Sorry Jennifer.  I lost my dad 10 yrs ago and still miss him a lot.  He also was obese most of his life (and like your dad got skinny the hard way - cancer).  I  wish he could see me now with a great son (named after him of course) and down 90 lbs.
Peace

Oh Jennifer, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my Dad over 14 years ago and I still miss him to this day. I do believe your Dad was reaching out to you with the cup. I had some weird experiences too shortly after my Dad passed and my Mom had experiences shortly after my Grandfather passed, even though she did not know about it at the time.

Your Dad will always be with you. God bless him, you and your family.

Thanks, Ellen.  I also wish my dad was lucid during the time I started seeing Jim, so he could have met Jim and seen how happy we are together.  I didn't bring Jim out there to meet dad since it would confuse and agitate him in his condition if he didn't know who someone was. 

So sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss, but his suffering is over. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Stay well, Leslie

very well of could been your father with the water cup trying to tell you hes ok now . I know its hard and a blessing at the same time by meaning hes no longer suffering, your in my prayers and god bless

Thanks, and I see your WLS is around the corner.  Best of luck to you for a safe and successful surgery. 

{{{Hugs}}} I'm so very sorry Jennifer.

I lost my dad 9 years ago and I still think about him each and every day.

Sounds like your dad had a sense of humor huh?  I do believe that was him that flipped the cup of water. :)  The night my dad passed I saw my first and only shooting star.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hugs,
Angie
