needhope Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 On Memorial Day, my wonderful, extraordinary father went peacefully to the other side. He had been in ICU for a little over a month and after developing ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) and infection after infection, God finally said enough. We had his funeral on Friday. It was a beautiful service. He would have been pleased with the overwhelming support we received. Now my family and I must learn how to cope with life without him. I miss him terribly already. I am only 27. Unless I am called Home early, I have many more years to live without him. Thanks everyone for your support. This community has been a godsend. Sincerely, Rochelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebywater Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Rochelle, I am so very sorry. I know well the feeling of looking at the many years that you hope you will have left here without a parent that you love so much. It just hurts.
