My father passed
My Noggin ^ | 29 October 2018 | Rarest IA

Posted on 10/29/2018 6:44:37 AM PDT by rarestia

After a lengthy battle with pancreatic and liver cancer, my father Ronald Thomas has gone home to the Lord.

My dad and I were estranged for over a decade after coming back into each other's lives about 10 years ago. He was not a rich man but worked for every dime he had. He loved music, cars, and our country. He was a stalwart Republican and a vocal supporter of Donald Trump.

I don't often post vanities, but I'm asking for my FReeper family to send up prayers to the Lord for his passage into the kingdom of Heaven to finally be with his mother, grandmother, baby daughter, and the rest of our family who have gone before him.

I worked with an electrical engineer with that name. He was former navy. He recently tried to get in touch but Facebook wouldn’t let me respond as he had “an unverified account.”

Regardless, I am sorry for your loss.

I’m very sorry! My dad just passed away a few months ago and it was the exact same situation. We had been estranged for years and then we started getting together a few years ago.

I’m so happy you able to resume our relationship with him. I’ll pray for peace for you and your family.

Sorry for the typos. I didn’t catch them before I hit the button. Hopefully you can make sense of it. :-)

I know the heartache well having lost both of my parents.

My prayers go out to you and your father.

My father never served, but I wouldn’t have put it past him to not respond on FB. He wasn’t the most technically savvy man. LOL
