I Miss Him So Much!!
I miss my Daddy so much! I just started thinking about him and then all of a sudden memories flashed before me. It will be a year this April 17th and I can't believe its been this long. I'm Daddy's little girl and even though it didn't hit me hard when he died, it is getting to me now. I guess it's because he was sick for so long and I knew his time was almost up. I'd give anything just to see him again! I know he is in a better place and I wish I was up there with him. I'm sorry, I just had to vent. Anybody else missing their loved ones?
Yes! My Mommy passed in 04 & my Dad in 08, I miss them both, yet I was most close to my Mom because she raised me as a single parent. I was just thinking yesterday how I would love to hear her voice again, just a couple of words. I miss her hands, the last time I saw her alive I had been sick and she was sitting next to me hold my hand checking on me while my husband was at work. I remember looking at her hand and seeing how our hands looked exacly alike accept for a childhold injury. Everyday my daughters do or say things that I wish I could share with her. Her, voice, her calls, her laugh, we sang together all the time, watched movies, shopped, talked about our faith, anything was open to discuss, I love her and miss her so much. I do know where she is though and I am grateful to God for that.

I feel you. My dad died a little over a year ago (2/4/08).The thing is, he was also sick a long time and had dementia. So, the dad i knew and loved was gone long before he died. That doesn't make it any easier though. He and my mom were married for 62 yrs. so, i can only imagine what she goes through.
My oldest brother passed in 06 (8/11/06) suddenly. it seems he want into a diabetic comma. So, trust when i say, i feel you.
You have got to remember the good times, the funny times, and even when they ticked you off. It helps you remember their life and takes a little sting out of death.
Prosperousldy33,
Your post brought tears to my eyes. Like you it did not hit me hard when my daddy died because we knew it was coming. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer and only given two months, but he made it ten. He died in Feb. 2005, however now, I have some really bad days. There is not a day that goes by that I do not miss my mother. She did 13 months after my daddy, Mar. 2006. They were both such characters. My mother was so rooted and grounded in the word of God, and I stayed grounded through her, but since she has been gone, it has been a struggle for me. My father on the other hand, was a what will be, will be kind of man. He had such a sarcastic attitude, but you could never get mad at him. I will never forget, I went on a diet before he passed away and I was so excited about losing six pounds, and when I told him, he sounded so excited for me... then he said... baby that is really good, now lose six more.... that was so funny to me. If anyone else would have said that, it would have been on, and not in a good way.
Anytime you need to vent, girl vent... It is hard without the people you love... I just thank God for my memories, and for blessing me with good parents, I may not have had everything I asked for, but I had just what I needed... I was truly blessed to have them...
Stay Strong,
Michelle
