Default 28 years later..

28 years ago, I was just a young 12yr old girl not understanding what just happened to my life. As my dad had died of ALS. At that time i really didn`t know what had happened other than i`d lost the most important person in my life. As i remember back my dad was a great man.. very loving,care free and always smiling at his girls. One day he was teaching me to write cursive... the next i was making a felt letter board for him to use.
I grieve still today at losing my dad.. my daily life is more manageable, but there was a time in my life that it wasnt so easy. I will be 40 in a few months.. and i guess realizing that i will be has made me remember all to well my dad was only 44 when he passed away. His ALS was very progressive.. within less than 2yrs and he was gone. I miss my dad.. i think of him often.I still cry.. i still wish he was here with me.

Thanks 4 letting me share here!
Robin

Post Hi Robin~

I have lost both parents and last July I loss my husband of 47 yrs. It is always hard to lose a love one. I guess my husband was the hardest. I don't have hardly any family left. The hardest thing I have ever done was to tell him I would be ok, that it was alright to go. He died in my arms.

The most comfort I got, was to see so many come to visitation and a very large funeral. I knew then that he was loved by so many. Keep your good thoughts. It's ok to feel sadness. Tears are a language God understands. We do welcome you here and feel free to express your sadness. My deepest sympathy goes out to you.

((((Robin)))) I wish there was something I could say to lessen the grief of your memories. I had a sister who died when she was twelve, and I was thirteen. I still have dreams sometimes that it was all just some horrible mixup and she's actually alive and well. I'm sending all my good thoughts and support your way. God bless you.
