This was a week of reflection, a week of stress, and a week of loss.
With the death of my father on Wednesday, I am learning a little (OK a lot) about what is involved in the 'after' part of losing someone. Even tho my dad's wishes were very simple, there were still so many calls to make.......
to Social Security
to insurance companies
to attorney's to find out what is involved in executing the will
to the funeral director
to family and friends of my dad
and the list seems to go on and on.
So even tho I feel like we have done very little except for a lot of sitting around the last few days...there were a few tears, a few laughs, and a lot of enjoying time together as family.......on THIS Sunday morning I am looking forward to going to church to praise God for the 52 years I had with my dad........
Until next time.... be BLESSED!!!

Bless your heart. Very sorry for your loss. I hope you have a joyful Sunday!
I am sure that even though you will not be alone, it will be a good time to listen to your own heart. One step at a time, one day at a time.
Hugs!
I will be thinking of you and your family today. (((((HUGS))))) and prayers.
Good Morning Kim, I thought about you throughout the day yesterday and I was hoping that you would be able to have some moments of light-hearted remembrance and, of course, cleansing tears. I was devastated when I lost my sister, and my wise aunt told me that "you cannot have such laughter and tears without a great love. After that, I rejoiced in my tears, I let them flow and was comforted in knowing that they were there because I had loved so completely. May you rejoice in your love. Blessings, Janet (PS. Wow! We're almost the same age, I turned 51 in August :-) Over 50 is awesome! :-)
I am so sorry to hear about your dad! I lost my brother 6 months ago and only now are things settling down a bit. But not really. The pain is still so deep. Blessings to you!
How sad. Make sure you take time to take care of you! I will say a prayer for your family.
I am very sorry to read about your loss. Just remmeber he is in Heaven now and all is good.

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of your father. I pray that God will comfort you and your family during this time. I know the pain of losing a father. You are fortunate to have had so many years with him, although I know that doesn't lessen the pain right now. I'll keep you in my prayers.
