Extremely Sad

  • Popular Post

I was excited a few days ago hearing my surgery date was moved up to May 23. A few days ago my father went into the hospital to have a lobectomy. He is now in ICU on life support.

They filmed him just out of surgery, barely unable to speak but he smiled and mentioned my surgery. I live out of state but hope he is still there on Wednesday when Im able to visit.

I'm so sad wondering if he will be around, concerned if he is suffering, right now they medicated him so he cannot move. He's up and down. It feels like a lot on my plate.

I feel heart heavy, that my personal happiness is also mixed with one of the most heartbreaking hurdles in my life.

Thinking of my father, praying for his health, hoping for the best. He would want me to be healthy.

I love you dad.

    My father passed away this morning.




    I'm so sorry! It's very hard for a girl to lose her daddy. My dad died unexpectedly at age 56 when I was 34 years old. Even now, 30 years later, I still miss him! Just know he will always be there watching out for you! Blessings on you.

    Thank you all for being so kind. The dust has settled and I keep going with him in mind. I feel a lot of peace now and in hindsight it was wonderful he didn’t suffer long.

    Just returning to thank you ALL for such kind words and prayers. I won’t forget it ever.
