You have my condolences HH. I recently lost my only sibling who I have not seen in over 12 years as we lived on different continents. It's hard but it does get easier one day at a time.

I'm so sorry to hear this,just know the Lord will give you the strength to do the things you have to do.

[n4gix]

Even though I lost both my parents decades ago, there still remains a tiny remnant of pain. I send along my condolences for your loss dear friend, and share in your grief. What helped me cope was grasping tightly to memories of the good times, and letting the occasional bad times fade into the sunset.

[Daveroo]

HouseHobbit,,,im sorry to hear of your loss,,my thoughts and prayers are with you..

[beana51]

HH, you have my sympathy for your loss. I, like n4gix, have lost both my parents years ago. His advise is sound. It helped me to keep in better touch with my siblings and other family members. We honor the memory of those who have past by relating stories and memories of them with each other. This helps all of us and eases the pain and sadness of their absence, especially during the holidays. It did get better in time with me. I hope it will for you also.

[IanHenry]

Househobbit,
I’m saddened to hear of your loss and would like to offer my sincere condolences.

Regards,
Ian.

[TeaSea]

Hope you feel better HH. I too lost my dad two years ago this November. Time does heal to an extent, but every now and again I find myself thinking "wait until I mention this to Dad", then I get a bit melancholy.

[robert41]

My condolences HouseHobbit.

[yank51]

Hobbit, you have my sincere condolences. For me, it's been just over 4 years now, but I can tell you that you will always remember the good times you shared with your Dad....

[limjack]

Thinking about you as well brother.

[norab]

Hoisehobbit please accept my deepest condolences. I lost my Dad just after Christmas and it still hurts. We can never know the Lord's plans but rest assured that He will care for you in this terrible time. I grieve with you Brother.

[mikezola]

HH- You have my utmost sympathy- I suddenly lost my Dad two months ago, and I will probably continue to quote him years from now. Fortunately, the last time I saw him alive (on Father's Day) ended with a hug and 'I love you' from both of us...
I must echo what's been said already a few times here- they're never really gone as long as they are remembered...

Househobbit;

I am sorry for your loss and can truely share your pain, for my own father passed away as well; at about 11:50 this evening. He was in a hospital in Lafayette with double pnemonia, congestive heart failure, and an infection. He has been sick for several weeks so it is not unexpected; but never full prepared for it.

I believe Tropical Storm Lee was passing through the Lafayette as Dad passed on; like Mark Twain and Beethoven; that seemed like the right way for Dad to go. I'll miss you, Dad.

[PeteHam]

HouseHobbit & James,

You are both in my thoughts and prayers.

Grief is never easy and sometimes words can't express our symapthy.

When I lost my first wife back in 1992 these words from my daily devotional gave me comfort ....


In the pathway of faith we come to learn that the Lord's thoughts are not our thoughts, nor His ways our ways. Both in the physical and spiritual realm, great pressure means great power !

Although circumstances may bring us into a place of death, that need not spell disaster -- for if we trust in the Lord and wait patiently, that simply provides the occasion for the display of His almighty power. "Remember his marvelous works that he hath done; his wonders and the judgments of his mouth" (Ps. 105:5)

Mrs. Charles E. Cowman
Streams in the Desert Vol1<o:p></o:p>


I trust the Lord to comfort you in the days and weeks ahead.

Pete.

[SPman]

Sorry to hear of your loss.

My dad died a year ago - Sept 3 2010.

Your a good brother.. Love ya.

I have not replied until now as this has caused me to spend much time in reflection. My dad is still chugging along. I lost my Mom a few years ago, and I'm still occasionally hit with emotion over it.

For both HouseHobbit & James..

I am terribly sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest condolences. Hopefully the hurt will ease over time. I will offer prayers that it will be so.

God Bless,
Robert

[GT182]

My condolences to you and your families HH, James and Mike. Never an easy thing to go thru until it happens to your own parent(s). Thoughts and prayers with you all.

Both of mine are gone and it's a different world without them. But that's the price of getting older. Sadly, none of us can live forever.

[wildcat]

My condolences to you

Sorry for the loss of your father HouseHobbit. My very fragile and demented father will be 85 in december. I hope we'll see that happen.

Cees

[HouseHobbit]

Thank You to all,
I am home from burying my Dad.. It will be a difficult few weeks for my Mom.. I am trying to Help her get this all settled. And I haven't gotten this sorted out yet, still walking in circles here..
To My Brothers and Sisters here at SOH, THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH..
God Bless each of you..
Owen

[heywooood]

keep your head up kid, what would your father have you do but carry on and remember him well?
So just do that and live the way he taught you to and it becomes more and more bearable.

[HouseHobbit]

God Bless each of you..
I am Home from Kentucky, I closed the grave as I have always done for many years now in my family..
I guess I came to the realization it was final, when I saw Dad in the casket..
Now I will help my Mom and sister adjust, this will be very hard for Mom..

I hold to the Hope that my father is safe in Our Lords hands now..
And again someday we will be together, By God's Mercy and Love..
Thanks to all here my SOH Family..
