My mom visits me more so than my dad in my dreams - he almost never did, but I would get glimpses of him at random moments over the years - each time making me catch my breath and reminding me that even after he left, he is still with me.Nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236806773789677957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385056842641555305.post-6860513033017893382014-06-20T11:07:01.645-04:002014-06-20T11:07:01.645-04:00That was beautiful Kathy!

I've 'spoken with' you before and you've so kindly emailed in acknowledgement that I'm currently in the middle of all of this. I'm sorry that you had to cry those tears the other day, but i'm pleased that you were given the space to do so. Thank you for this post today - please know that I'm thinking of you, even from this geographical distance.

But God is all good, He has no darkness at all, He does not put sickness and disease on anyone, but we live in a polluted world, thanks to mankind and the things they do. But God redeems us from destruction through the work of his Son Jesus, and our healing is when He takes us home, so I can see my father in my mind dancing on the golden streets and that makes me very happy, and that when I see him eventually whatever painful memories I have will be gone as well.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385056842641555305.post-50671736743513139612014-06-18T18:32:39.374-04:002014-06-18T18:32:39.374-04:00Aww what a sad but sweet story .

So sudden - so out of the blue - so damned early! I was just finally feeling like I was healing from losing my mom 2 years before and BAM - he's gone from my life too.<br />It hurts - it still hurts, but the pain lessens, and the laughter gets louder as I think of him in so many things I do and remember. <br />I feel your pain, I know your hurt and I walk along side of you as we find the "new normal" with someone so much a part of our life, gone.<br />{{{hugs}}} girlfriend!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04989147951807102134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385056842641555305.post-63451477398094877402014-06-17T12:34:50.480-04:002014-06-17T12:34:50.480-04:00thanks for this post.

And he was there when you visited with him even if he seemed far away. The touch of a loved one is never ignored. Your story holds true to any of us who have lost a parent that was such a big part of our lives right to the end. Not everyone is so blessed, so I admire that you recognized what you had and you are spending your life honoring it. That is a truth that is the best guide and it will serve you well. Sorry for your loss ... proud of how you are dealing with it.<br /><br />Andrea @ From The SolAndrea @ From The Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657271089899579261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385056842641555305.post-31327707654164395342014-06-17T10:14:06.785-04:002014-06-17T10:14:06.785-04:00nice post and photo, Thanks for sharingnice post and photo, <a href="http://irwansulis.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Thanks</a> <a href="http://lapakiklangratis.com" rel="nofollow">for sharing</a> False Ninehttp://irwansulis.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385056842641555305.post-25271198876160372732014-06-17T07:55:34.872-04:002014-06-17T07:55:34.872-04:00Great shot!!
