I am fighting back the tears as I write this. My father had a massive stroke a week ago. He passed away yesterday 20 minutes after a beautiful sunset. The sky was still pink. He was surrounded by his wife, remaining children, and three nieces. I sat with him during his final hours, touching him, talking to him, and reminiscing with one of my cousins, who was like a sister to him. He went very peacefully. I did not feel his last breath, but after a period of no breathing rhythms I checked for his pulse, and announced to my family that he had finally passed. He was a great man that touched many lives. His legacy lives on. Services are being planned for some time next week. His ashes will be spread on the Pacific Ocean. Please take a moment to consider the ones you love. You never know when will be the last time that you will be able to hear their voice or touch their warm hand. Give them a call on the phone a.s.a.p. and tell them that you love them, or- give them a special hug and tell them that you love them when you or they arrive home. Than you for your consideration and prayers. HelmsmaN      | ||

Helmsman sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family. I know what its like to lose someone close to you that you love. I had the misfortune of watching my grandmother die in front of me about 3 years ago (12-12-97). You never get over though, you have to get through it. Keeping them alive in memories is a good way. You family and friends help make it easier. All of mine did except my cousin. She said that if I would've acted faster and called 911 sooner that she would still be alive. I believed it for a while, but then I found out that my grandmother had passed before I even realized something was wrong. I dislike alot of people, but I hate my cousin. So much as to the point that I don't consider her my cousin, shes not part of my family anymore. Blood related or not. Sorry to cramp your post, but that always seems to come out when I reminisce about that day. I'm sorry for your loss. ------------------ | ||
