My father was promoted to glory....

[shcreative]

on Oct. 3, 2009 after a long battle with Parkinsons. The last week of his life was so hard on mom, and me too as he refused to eat. When he died, at home surrounded by his wife and four kids, it was hard to let him go but we knew it was for the best. I know that my dad is in heaven playing his silver trumpet in the band, and I hope he is saving a place for me, and the other kids of his that play.

I would appreciate your prayers for my mom, 82, whom is so sad and lonely. This is such a hard time for her.

Thanks

Shan,
Im so sorry for your loss! I know how difficult this can be for you, and for mom. Celebrate the good times, and prepare for the party in heaven when you all get to join the heavenly band! You are both in my thoughts and prayers.

Praying for comfort and strength for you and family. How exciting to know you'll get to see him again.

I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad. What a blessing it is though when we imagine him with our Heavenly Father rejoicing in Heaven and when we know that we will someday join with him in heaven. Keep the memories of your father close to your heart. We will be praying for comfort and strength for you and your Mom.

Thank you for the prayers. We have dad's urn in the living room and it brings us both a sense of peace, we know he is in heaven rejoicing but still we have a little piece of him here with us.
Blessings

Shan, you and your family are in my prayers the good news he is with our Heavenly Father and his loved ones. When we all get to heaven what a day of rejoicing that will be to see Jesus and it will be one big reunion with our loved ones! VICTORY! although we know our loved ones are in a better place it doesn't make it easy to live the rest of our lives without them i lost my mother-n-law almost 3 years ago, 2 months after I had a bad car accident losing her unexpectantly was shocking it took along time for me to accept it. I kept wanting to believe that this was just a bad dream. I'll never get over it but praise God he is getting me through it! The hardest part is I don't know if she made it to heaven for certain reasons. I hope she is there I loved her she was like a mom to me and a wonderful grandma. My heart goes out to you and all the lovely sisters out there that loss loved ones..hold on to those precious memories, when I go to her house I am surrounded by her items that she enjoyed and that comforts me.
