My Dad my Hero, mentor and now he is gone
My Dad my Hero, mentor and now he is gone.
Yea it has been exactly one year when l wrote this article..........and when it happened...not a really good week...........Life is filled with obstacles, you just have to learn how to deal with them..........we all suffer differently............sharing my pain helps..............if you have lost a loved one then you will understand why l wrote this...........please leave a reply......it helps!!!
I have been a way from Apsense for a while, dealing with something l hope no one ever has to go through. My father became missing on Wednesday of last week and finally seven days later the police located his body, badly decomposed as sad is it was at least our family got closer, not many families get that and have to live with not knowing what has happened to their loved one.
The seven day waiting period was the hardest time l have encountered in my life, not knowing where he was or where he could be, was mentally stressful beyond any words l can use to describe how l felt as well as the rest of the family and friends of ours. The pain will have an impact on me for a longtime and l am now finally trying to get back to my normal life, not going to be easy but time will cure the pain and makes me a stronger person.
The service and support we got from our friends, families where absolutely life saving you really have no idea until you go through this process of support. It helped comfort and made me strong for my family l don't think l could have gotten through this with out that support. I just like to thank all of my friends for their generous and over whelming support we got from them all..
He is now gone and in a better place, no more will "HE" have to suffer or have to see another doctor, hospital or any of that. He was very ill, most of his organs where failing and according to the autopsy report he would not have made it pass August of this year.....The cancer had spread beyond repairable.
I just wanted to share this moment with all who read this article and l certainly hope it helps you with something you had to deal with in life we all suffer and grief differently from one another. What makes us all so very special how we handle success and grief is our true colors of our make up. Yes it is not easy writing this article but l feel better doing it....
All The Best,

I see too many people today that do not appreciate much their parents while the parents are still alive... My parents left the world I live in many years ago, and since then I miss them... I understand you very well Joseph. Hope all people who read this and have parents will respect them much more by being there when parents need sons and daughters to be close... and I know, they need your presence very much! I'd give a fortune to have them back, but can't do it now! One day will be too late for

Never easy when you lose a loved one, and if that loved one was your dad...............there is not a day the goes by that l did not think about something l did or he did...not always good either...

A year has passed.....I can't imagine how it feels, my parents are both still alive and healthy. But I can imagine it becomes more difficult some time after the passing away and the funeral. After all arrangements have been made, the support will slowly fade (except from family and some close friends) and you are thrown back on yourself to cope with it all. I experienced similar when my youngest got brain damage from a flue virus. Plenty of support when it happened but pretty much alone in deali

Today is exactly one year when we buried my dad........We will be having a small family dinner in his honor this evening to share our love we had for our dad. Never an easy thing to deal with in life but we all will have to go through it one day.
This is life and we all handle these situations differently.............

It was like yesterday my father passed away and I had to fly from Michigan to Iasi in the very hard winter time. It took me 5 days to get there; he was in coma waiting for me to come from USA and after we met, he was gone in the next moment...
May God help you move on with your life! It is not easy, but this is life, has a beginning and an end!

I'm truly sorry for your loss, I, to have just this mo on the 6th lost my younger brother, due to a boating accident. I just felt the need to let you know "You will see your Dad, and all your lost loved ones again in the Resurrection"! Acts24:15; John5:28-29
Please take the time to read these scriptures and I promise you, you'll find some peace in knowing they are asleep and you will see them again. Daniel 12:2
