Sad News. Prayers requested.

My father passed away last Tuesday. It was something we have been bracing ourselves for but it still was a heart wrenching moment when it happened.

He is at peace now after a long struggle and in that sense I'm relieved. Although I would have not wanted him to suffer so long, it did give me a chance to tell him how I loved him and the regrets I've had.

He was able to make peace with God so I'm asking for prayers for me and the family during this time.

regards

Dave

    I'm so very sorry for your loss. But your loss is heaven's gain and will one day be yours again. I lost my own dad 2 months ago, so I understand your pain.

    God bless you & yours.

    My deepest condolances Dave. It's always hard to lose a parent. My mother passed away on Dec 15th many years ago so Christmas has always had a sad overtone since.

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D
