I'm sad A dear friend of my dad's passed away this week. He was my adopted uncle and just one of the kindest bravest people in the whole world. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer three years ago and fought soooo hard. He refused to just wait to die so they traveled and spent loads of time with his grand kids. My dad is going to be a pall bearer with some other of their friends. What is really really awful is that the pall bearers were picked out when they first told him he was going to die and since then two of their other friends have passed away. One of them a couple years ago while at work (they all worked together) and another on his way to work this past december. It's so upsetting for me to think about. I never thought my parents were at that age where I have to be prepared for them to pass away ya know? It's hitting my dad pretty hard and his family is just so devastated. No matter how prepared you think you are...you can't ever bear the loss of someone you love that much Sorry for the sad post..but i needed to get it out a bit *cry*
Aww, Crystal, I'm so sorry! I know it's so hard to lose someone you love and especially watch the ones you love go through it. Thoughts are with you!!!
oh my goodness (((BIG HUGE HUGS))) sweetie... I can't even imagine how hard this is for you all... so heartbreaking
That really is so sad! I'm sorry that you and your family are having to deal with this loss. At least you can all keep his memory alive together and mourn together too. Big hugs to you!
You go ahead and vent girl! It's hard for me to think that my parents are getting older too and I see the sadness in my dad when someone their age passes.
