    Cynthia, sweetie, my heart is bleeding to hear your beloved father has passed away. I hope you'll find comfort in knowing he isn't in pain anymore. I'm sending you one giant hug to the UK.

    I'm so sorry to read of your Dads passing Cyn, he's at peace now, but no doubt watching over you and guiding you.
    You're the life and soul of the pad, you always have the kindest and most thoughtful words to say. Look after yourself. Much love to you, Sarita and your family :bk:angel

    I posted my condolences on Facebook, but I will include them here as well. Your father sounded like a very special man. And I'm sure you have wonderful memories of him. I am so sorry to hear of his passing.... You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

    One of the beauties of doing the MOC is "meeting" people like you. You are a joy, and an encourager, and an inspiration - things I want so much to be for others. I lived for 4-5 years in a depressed stupor - not really understanding why life just hurt so much, and when I snapped out of it and my mind was cleared - I realized just how much we need positive, uplifting voices in our world, and that our "Tests" can be testimonies for others.

    Your intentions will be in my prayers.

    Oh Cynthia, I am so sorry that you have joined the "not so exclusive" club of women who have lost their Daddies. I lost mine in 2011 and I'm only now really coming to grips with the fact that he is gone...You and your family are in my prayers in this sad time.

    Oh such a pleasure to host MOC!!! and it has been you guys who kept me amazed with your pages and chatting and laughing, trying to figure out those dolls :) I'm so so glad you had a good time :) I know I went a bit quiet now, working on getting black to normal -not that normal is a word many associate with me , but you know what I mean :)

    thanks so much :) I was so happy to see you scrapping at MOC, hope we will see more of you now :)

    I kept repeating that to Sarita, that he is now free of pain and that he will be watching out, protecting us.... we talk a LOT until September when he started getting worse...at least 3 times a week..
    Thanks so much Dawn :heartlub:heartlub:heartlub:heartlub:heartlub:beat:heartlub:heartlub:heartlub:heartlub

    :heartlub:heartlub:heartlub:heartlub:heartlub

    :heartlub:heartlub:heartlub:heartlub

    thanks so much :heartlub:heartlub:heartlub

    He was, indeed, Sarita too, her first tattoo she had done when we went to barcelona in 2016, are the three words he always told me were the formula of success, is difficult to translate to English properly but something like
    Capability - Will Power _ a drop of Luck

    Capacidad - Voluntad - Suerte

    He said Capability was about studying or getting the skills for whatever you want to be/do.
    Then the will power to work hard to achieve , and a drop of luck....which is not guaranteed but it is easier to come by if we follow the previous two.....
    she has the words tattoed on the side of the ribs, I'm sure I made a page or 5 :giggle

    I saw the Facebook post (yours) I need to go answer, thanks so so much :heartlub:heartlub:heartlub
    the phone has been non stop here with relatives calling from all over the world... some people I have not too much patience too...which are not aware of time difference ..... need to disconnect that phone,

    :heartlub:heartlub:heartlub

    Love you, thanks so much :heartlub:heartlub:heartlub

    Thank you :heartlub:heartlub:heartlub
    It is wonderful to start getting to know you.... your words are so right..... I'm not all that achieved though...I tend to get overwhelmed when things get difficult with hospitals appointments, stuff to do with every day practical things I haven't been able to do much of... I get frustrated and I need to pray very very much for keeping up positive... that is the beauty of this community.... I'm glad to have you part of the family :heartlub:heartlub:heartlub

    Cynthia, sending you hugs in this time of grief and prayers for comfort and peace for you and your family. It's so hard to say goodbye to a dearly loved dad. May your sweet memories of your precious times together put a smile on your face even as the tears fall from your eyes. Love you, sweet lady.
