I didn't realize he still wasn't feeling well. Take comfort in knowing that a part of him will always be with you. And some day you will be able to think of him with smiles instead of tears. I am sure your Dad is already reunited with your daughter and they have shared a big hug. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for taking the time to stop by Michael's blog. Your comments bring me great comfort - I consider you a true friend. <BR/><BR/>With deepest sympathy, JoAnneJoAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15817923654232939372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470741139187211963.post-79734687709347544302008-07-11T18:32:00.000-05:002008-07-11T18:32:00.000-05:00Just checking in to see how you're doing, Sweetie....Just checking in to see how you're doing, Sweetie.

Thinking and praying for you and the family as you go through these difficult days. There's a song that meant so much to me when my Dad went to be with the Lord. This is the chorus:<BR/> <BR/>"Just think of stepping on shore<BR/> and finding it Heaven,<BR/>Of touching a hand<BR/> and finding it God's,<BR/>Of breathing new air<BR/> and finding it Celestial,<BR/>Of waking up in Glory<BR/> and finding it Home." <BR/> -by Don Woertzen<BR/>I pray that God will wrap His arms around you and give you comfort. <BR/>Hugs.Ruthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06805965276576489908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470741139187211963.post-84825848718113516792008-07-10T14:59:00.000-05:002008-07-10T14:59:00.000-05:00Deb, I'm sorry for your pain...and share your glad...Deb, I'm sorry for your pain...and share your gladness for your daddy's release...you're so right...he's gone on home and will see you one of these days :)<BR/><BR/>...sheila from life @ #17https://www.blogger.com/profile/14307471105709629639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470741139187211963.post-24382629256420125632008-07-10T14:05:00.000-05:002008-07-10T14:05:00.000-05:00Deb, My heart breaks for you dear friend!

I know how heavy your heart is. And though you know your Daddy is with Jesus and truly home, it is still amazingly sad. <I>God bless your heart.</I><BR/><BR/>Deb, I think it is such a blessing that your Dad told you he was only interested in Jesus. My tears are just flowing as I picture you with him at that time. I was with my Daddy near the end of his life as he lay in the hospital. Just the two of us. I sat at his side as he drifted in and out of awareness. He was riddled with cancer and wasn't even able to move anymore. Suddenly, in the silence of that room, my Daddy sat bolt up-right in his bed and stared straight ahead. I was shocked and just sat there, frozen as I watched <B>a miracle</B> unfold before my eyes. In a very soft voice, Daddy said, <I>"You there. Call Your name to me!"</I> I looked and saw no one, yet Daddy kept his brilliant blue eyes focused. Then tears began to flow from his eyes and he nodded and whispered, <I>"I thought so, Jesus. Thank You."</I> Then he smiled and laid back down.<BR/><BR/>So you see, Deb, though God called your sweet Daddy home, He also allowed you the knowledge and peace of heart that your Daddy indeed did know Jesus. <B>What a glorious gift to recieve.</B><BR/><BR/>I hope you can feel my prayers and love going out to you, my dear friend. <I>God bless...<BR/><BR/>~hugs 'n love~</I><BR/>PearlPearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13005230621938925963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470741139187211963.post-61017076857272943882008-07-10T00:16:00.000-05:002008-07-10T00:16:00.000-05:00Oh, Deb, I am in tears for you and your family.
