I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad in 1994 (can't believe 10 years have passed). My Dad had a long illness-nucleic palsy (Dudley Moore died of same illness). At first, I was relieved that he was not suffering anymore. But in time, I began to really miss him...it takes time but eventually I remembered him- not as he was during the last part of his illness, but as he was before he became ill. Time can not heal the loss of a parent completely, but you don't think about it every day after a while. I will pray for you. God Bless you and your Dad. I can see from the picture that he was one of America's greatest generation (may we who come after be worthy).

I am very sorry for your loss. We lost my grandfather to Alzheimer's and now my grandmother is showing signs. It's such a horrid disease, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

We are losing these great men at the rate of about a thousand a day. Lost my father, a navy veteran of WWII just three months ago. My heart goes out to you.

Change is the defect of things below. Our brightest morn often ends in storm.
Summer's radiance gives place to winter's gloom. The smiling flower soon lies withered.
The babbling brook is soon a parched channel. The friend who smiled, smiles no more friendly welcomes.
Bereavement weeps where once the family beamed with domestic joy.
Gardens wither into deserts. Babylons crumble into unsightly ruins.
On all things a sad inscription writes . . . fleeting! transient! vanishing!
Time flaps a ceaseless wing, and from its wings, decay and death drop down.

But Jesus sits high above all this. He is 'the same yesterday, and today, and forever.'
Jesus cannot change. He is as constant as He is great. As surely as He ever lives, so surely He ever lives the same.

He sits on the calm throne of eternal serenity!

The love of Jesus is in perpetual bloom. It is always in summertime.
The roots are deeply buried in Himself; therefore the branches cannot fade.
Believer, drink hourly of this cup of joy. Christ loved you fully when, in the councils of eternity, He received you into His heart.
He loved you truly when, in the fullness of time, He took upon Himself your curse, and drained your hell deep dues.
He loved you tenderly when He showed you, by the Spirit, His hands and His feet, and whispered to you that you were His.
He loves you faithfully while He ceases not to intercede in your behalf, and to scatter blessings on your soul.
He will love you intensely in heaven when you are manifested as His precious purchase and crowned as His bride!
Henry Law (1797 - 1884).

Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
Abide With Me ~Henry F. Lyte, 1847


Eternal Father, Strong to Save

My most heartfelt condolences to you and your family. It appears from your bio of your dad that he left a pretty fantastic legacy to follow him.

Our prayers for you and yours are with you.
