Candice, How proud your Dad must be of you right now to be able to take charge.  This shows great inner strength and character.  My prayers are with you.  How old was your Dad? Love, Diane

My dad was a young man of only 53.  He would have been 54 on Tuesday.  He suffered from obesity, diabetes and sleep apena.  I honestly believe in my heart that the sleep apena is what took him away from me.  He dreamed of the day that he too could have WLS.  My heart hurts so badly to know that that chance is gone now...

Candice, Your Dad was very young indeed.  You need to try to get some rest soon.  I am sure that is difficult right now.  Try putting a cup of milk in the microwave for a minute and drinking it warm.  Don't let it boil, just get hot.  The heat releases an enzyme that will help you relax and go to sleep.  Remember that as painful as this is right now, your Dad is in heaven, a much better place than here.  He is with God, out of pain and no longer obese, because the Bible says we get a brand new body when we get there!  Sleep well little one. Lots of Love, Diane

I am mostly a lurker and have posted a few times, but feel like I know everyone on here.  I am so sorry you have to go thru this pain. I lost both of my parents withhin months of each other. I am sorry for the hurt you feel inside. No one wants their loved ones to die, but what a peaceful exit for your Dad, he feel asleep and woke up in Heaven.  My prayers are with you and your family.   

Candice, I am so sorry to hear of your family's loss. I can tell you the pain will always be there but it gets to where you can stand it. I am praying for you and your family. Beth

Candice Sending prayers and positive thoughts to you and your family. I am very sorry to hear of your loss -- it is never easy. Know your father is in a better place with no pain and no obesity. Hugs to you Mary

My sweet girl,      I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear about your loss. I lost my dad unexpectedly in April of 2003. Worst day of my life. I didn't think I would ever get past it. I was Daddy's little girl too...still am, always will be. My father knew how much I loved him and there was nothing left unsaid between us. That, and knowing he is with Jesus, is what gives me peace. I pray that you find yours.      We are here for you, honey. Don't forget to take care of you through this too.      Love you!             Mare         xoxo

Dear Candice,

Although we do not always understand, why?  We can be assured that God does know best. We, Trust He will provide you and yours with the added strength you need during this trying time.

My thoughts are with you,

Love Reenie

I love you Candice and my thoughts are with you. Hope we can get together soon when things settle down for you. Your father is not suffering any more and that is a blessing. Take care and I am here for you.                                                  Annie
