My Dad passed away today after his six-week battle with lung cancer. I hope to see him again in Heaven. His last words to me, sent in a text yesterday, were “still fighting.”

He was to be admitted to the hospital yesterday afternoon, due to extreme weakness and dehydration. However, he collapsed at the Anne Arundel medical center. He briefly lost his pulse, but was resuscitated and immediately rushed to the hospital. He never regained consciousness, but before he collapsed, he kept repeating that he did not want extreme measures to keep him alive, so we respected his wishes. He passed away today, about 24 hours after he collapsed.

We pray to God for the outcomes that we want, but sometimes, sadly, the answer is no. He does things in His own way. Now Dad is with Him.

TSR, you have my utmost sympathies.

You’ll miss your Dad, but you will never forget his fighting spirit.

It will sustain you in difficult times to come.

Your Dad also made sure he had accomplished his life’s most important mission—he came to a saving grace in the Lord Jesus Christ.

He is more alive now than when he was on earth.

And when he looks over his life on earth, he will ne most proud of having a son like you.

God bless.

I am so sorry for your loss. He is in the arms of his Lord and pain free. You will see him again, death is NOT an ending, it is merely a parting.

Sorry about your Dad passing, TSR.

When my Dad passed I believed he was in a better place due to his decreased quality of living.

I look forward to being reunited with him and my Mom one day.

Prayers up.

Awww. So sorry. You have my deepest sympathy. I also lost my dad to lung cancer, almost 22 years ago. Now your dad is past earthly suffering and with his Creator. You have your wonderful memories of your time with him, to cherish forever.

Really sorry to hear about the loss of your dear Father, TSR. He is whole again and with the Lord, but his spirit still lives on with you and his family. Hold his spirit close.

My prayers are now for you and your family.

I'm so sorry for your loss, TSR. I lost my Dad almost exactly a year ago, so perhaps I can relate a bit, FRiend.

Prayers out, and a reminder that although the next few months will be hard, it will slowly get a bit better. May your father rest in peace, his soul comforted by our loving Father.
