I feel I got to know him in some small way through your expressive and beautiful writing and surely it must have thrilled and gratified him beyond words to have a daughter as lovely and gifted and LOVING as you are.<br /><br />I can't believe that sky on the night he passed. It does seem made just for him and fitting that would be. There are so many fathers who are not like him and he deSERVES to be honored.<br /><br />I wish I could offer something besides typed letters on a white page. They seem like nothing. These are the times when we blogger friends wish we could climb through the internet and hug those we have come to love.<br /><br />My prayers will be for you and your family as you deal with the grief and loss. But I know we do not grieve as "those who have no hope." Praise God for KNOWING where your father now is and that he is well and whole.Robynn's Ravingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619286823020924023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-5797242969604591282010-07-08T13:34:40.557-05:002010-07-08T13:34:40.557-05:00Oh, my heart's friend.

I'm so sorry to hear...What beautiful words... <br /><br />I'm so sorry to hear of your father's passing. Sounds like you've had a wonderful life as father and daughter, such a gift. <br /><br /> It amazes me, what the sky shows us in times of trouble and even loss. Perhaps your father was showing you all the glory that was his life with your family.. and that he is OK and at peace. <br /><br /> When my daughter was in a coma after a bad car accident.. I had gone home from the hospital to change clothes after a very long day. There was a sudden and fierce thunderstorm lasting only about five minutes.. and then the most glorious rays of sun through the clouds and beautiful sunset. It felt as if the world was telling me it was going to be OK. The world was right. :-)Karen thisoldhouse2.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03302171590212119499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-14182775891239491332010-07-08T08:13:20.530-05:002010-07-08T08:13:20.530-05:00Such a loving tribute to your Father Vicky.
