Dad missing for three years and honors him. You will never be forgotten. The memory of my beloved dad is in me. It’s a natural feeling like okay right? His memory is in the stories I tell. Or those shared with friends. family and mom. We loved education and learning. Dad says

He taught me many things from an early age. Since he’s gone, I look for ways to continue our bond. Grief is something you go through.

The good news about grief is peaceful and positive. Warm memories and connection with a loved one can grow. Grief is something you go through. It becomes a part of you. It’s forever.

Saying Goodbye Beloved Father

Those people came into our hospital room like a nightmare. You can see around it all if you peep out at the Holy Spirit. They demanded I tell them about Dad’s life. Where he worked and how he and his wife were such good companions and friends. I said the same thing 5 times as I stood there bravely and lovingly. We were trapped inside a hospital with no way out.

Still, tears hurt my eyes and face. The pressure was too much. Dad’s quietness as I watched and listened to his precious and natural response. We were from another world. This was happening, but not fair. Maybe we were fountains. Way back in the 70s sinners plunged beneath the flood and lost to their guilty stains.

Yes, Redeemed until we die. Redeeming love for our faith until we die. (Mercy Me) Just keep going because Heaven is on the other side. Lossing the connection to my father and the memories was hard to face.

How Long Do We Have

Later on, there was so much confusion and fear. I placed a call to get a counselor to help me. Someone called me or I called them. They could not help me until Oct 11. “I am pretty sure Dad can not hold out 9 days. Our family pastor had already come by.

These were quiet moments with my Father. He spoke to my mother on the phone and said goodbye honey “I’ve got to go”. He stayed up all night. Sleep takes over as he has so much medicine. I prayed off and on all night. We watched the helicopter in the early hours of the morning.

We tried to watch TV and President Trump. It was good for a while. Dad sighed and turned the TV off for good and said “Oh no”. Some people prefer to be alone if they are.

He may have been alone for 11/2 hours. It was a good time to safely pass on. I miss him so much. He’s safe above with our Heavenly Father. Dad missing for three years. His death anniversary 2023.
