I'm so touched by all of your kind and supportive words. Thank you for taking the time to write them, it means a lot. This morning my dearest dad's heart had enough and he died. I'm saying this now when I can as it's just not real in my head at the moment so it's easier to say it. I don't want to hide from the bare fact of it. I'll be back when I can and it'll be normal service of happy. Not because I pretend it's all ok, but because life just goes on and he'd tell me off if I wallowed for too long.

Ohhhh Lisa!!
ReplyDeleteNothing I can say will help you through these extremely sad moments so I just want to send you my most sincere condolences to you and your family.

I have never commented before but feel compelled to now as i too lost my beloved dad recently. However it happens you are never ready for it but, as you say, life does go on and you will get through the sad times ahead. All the while you carry your memories of your dad with you he will only ever be a thought away. This quote has helped me and my 2 daughters a lot over the past few weeks and i often think of it so i'd like to share it with you (you probably already know it anyway)....'If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart, i'll stay there forever' A A Milne....Thinking of you and your family, Karen xxx

ReplyDeleteI lost my lovely dad last year. He was my first love and I think about him every day. But please know that it will get easier, a little bit every day. I promise.
You will be looking after your mum and the Buns and doing lots of running around but make sure you look after yourself too. It's very easy to put yourself last.
Take care.

Hello Lisa, I've just been catching up on your recent posts and I'm so sorry to hear your tragic news. Take good care of yourselves and cherish all those happy times.
ReplyDeleteKate xox
So sorry to hear about your Dad, Lisa. Take care.
ReplyDeleteHen x
I'm so sorry, there is nothing anyone can say to make your pain better but just know I'm thinking of you xx
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. It is a huge shock when your dad dies, a sort of emptiness carries you through the necessaries and you try to make sure the funeral is the best and that your mum is OK. Afterwards I came down mum's road and saw my dad mowing the lawn. I smiled to see him but soon realised it was his friend cutting the grass, they just looked similar from behind. For a second I thought he was still there, it was nice. Now I know he's gone, but he's still here in his garden, in me, in the house, in my children, he's never away, he made us and he is still loved. I can still hear him telling the TV off and muttering about next door's cat near his fish. I still don't park on his grass. Be strong, it eases. Now I go to mums and can still (not really) see him lowering his newspaper and saying hello love as I go in, its nice. He was a good dad so still is. Missed with a smile now, not a tear. Take care, Karen x
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear your sad news Lisa, but I pray you will find the strength to get through the next few days and be a strength for your Mum. It will be a great time to gather and grieve as a family and you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteLisa you are in my prayers! So sorry for the loss of your dad!! May you know how much you are loved! Many hugs to you my dear!! xo Heather
ReplyDelete...a big hug,

I'm so sorry....I know how you feel as my dad died 4 years ago & it was such a shock.
ReplyDeleteIn time you will remember with happiness not sadness. He did his job well if he has left you all wanting more of him. Look after yourself.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear of your loss. In our family, we've had quite a few untimely deaths - we have a habit of digging a bloody great big hole and putting in a beautiful plant in their memory. Flissx
ReplyDeleteJust to say .... I'm thinking of you. I've spoken to my Dad a lot this week - he died 19yrs ago when I was in my early twenties, but often (particularly when I'm struggling with life) I talk to him in my mind. Like my Dad, yours will always be in your heart too. Take care. XX
ReplyDeleteDad's know best.
ReplyDeleteMy heart-felt sympathy goes out to you and your family.

Oh I'm so very sorry. My thoughts are with you and your precious family.

Sending you big hugs Lisa... so sorry to hear your sad news... Jill x
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear your sad news. My Dad was taken by the angels last October the 27th after being diagnosed with leaukemia on the 1st October. It was such a shock and total disbelief very much like you but I can only say that with time it does get easier but I know that you will not be thinking that at the moment. I am thinking of you and your family as this sad, sad time. Big, big hugs, Sam (AKA Dottie May).
ReplyDeleteSo sorry...
ReplyDeleteCome back soon...
so very sorry to hear your sad news x
ReplyDeleteLisa! Oh Lisa. This is shit. I am just so sorry. I can never find the right words at times like this but one thing I know is it is better to say something than nothing.
ReplyDeleteMy heart aches for all the roller coaster emotions and fears that will hit you over the next year. And yes, it will be a year at least I'm afraid. It takes a year of anniversaries, birthdays and other events for your heart to process that you dear Dad has gone. What with the grief of losing him and the worry over your Mum and how she is coping with out her sidekick and the two Aunts having a hard time too...and the stupid car blowing up. Good lord, you've had it all thrown at you.
now take your time, do as you please, we will all be here when you want us, and in the meantime think of yourself and you most loved ones. You'll be in my thoughts.
Lots of love,
Gayna x x x
I am sooooooo sorry I missed your last two posts until now. And so very, very, very sorry for your loss Lisa. Life throws so much at us doesn't it, almost like kicking us when we're down is a favourite pastime. And to lose a loved one is the most devastating thing.
ReplyDeleteI know you will all be holding each other up with love, but don't forget, in the middle of worrying about your Mum and your daughters and your aunts, to look after yourself. If you need a space in which to vent we will be here, otherwise we'll be waiting until you're able to join us again.
Hugest hugs, Annie x
Hi Lisa I'm so sorry for your sad loss!

Hello Lisa, I am so sorry for your loss. You are absolutely right life does go on and I am sure your dad would want it too. I lost my dad 9years ago now and at first it was very painful, there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about him but it does get easier. My dad will always be with me and this best way we can celebrate our parents lives is to live ours in a way to make them proud. Take good care of yourself x
ReplyDeleteSo sorry, and thinking of you, love Claire xx
ReplyDeleteIm so sorry, i hope happier days will be with you soon x
ReplyDeletehey Mrs - just popped over to say hello - and that I hope you are holding up...and taking care of you as well as looking after everyone else.
