It really is true.
All we need is love.
There was so much love yesterday for my dad .
It was a beautiful thing.
I'm doing good...really better than good.
Looking forward to catching up with all of you after a few days of rest and reflection.
Until then...I thank all of you for your kind words of comfort and love.

it sounds like you are doing well. That's great and enjoy some time of reflection and memeories
Sheryl~your post gave me the warm fuzzies. Really! I think you are doing well and I know your Dad is MUCH better off.
I thought about you yesterday, too, and hoped that saying goodbye to your father wasn't too sad. Glad to hear you are doing ok and look forward to seeing you blogging again.
Warm caring hugs,
Jan
I wish no one had to travel this road but unfortunately we all do. There are smooth spots up ahead and the odd bump but lean on those who love you and remember how much you are loved and you will make it through.
Hugs

one day at a time is all you can do!..just know that we are all here when you are ready.
I am so sorry to read of your loss. You have many wonderful memories. Don't forget to take some time to yourself and grieve. It's necessary. A wonderful man blessed with a loving and caring family.....nothing better than that. Big hugs, my friend. God Bless.
I'm happy to hear that you're doing better than good!
So glad you are okay. You are in my thoughts.

I know that for me, when my mom died, the service was a turning point in my grief. I felt better. Yeah, there were some hard times still... and after several years there are still some tough times. But, the memories grow sweeter.
Bless you!
God bless you all. ♥
I've just emerged from being under my rock - read your previous post and got goosebumps. My daddy's been gone over a decade, but when I posted yesterday, the tears still fell. The loss of a parent is beyond words. I feel for you!!! The loss will never be over, but, in time, as the previous commenter said, the memories grow sweeter. Hugs, hon, lots of hugs!
My dear one....take all the time you need. Your dad would be proud of you. Love, prayers, & hugs.
What a wonderful thing to be able to say about a funeral...that it was a "beautiful thing...so much love".
It speaks volumes about your father and your family. God bless you, your sisters and your mother.

I'm glad to hear you are doing okay. sandie
You are in my thoughts. Isn't it wonderful that the day was full of love. God bless, you and your family.
Blessings to you!

Life really is just one day at a time. Nice that the sending off your father could be a day filled with love.
To be able to say "see you later" surrounded by love is a blessing. It's lonely without him but it won't be long (in the Lord's time) before you'll be reunited again.
Take all the time you need ♥ and know that we continue to keep you and your family in our prayers. How wonderful that the day was filled with love, just like your Dad.
God's blessings and comfort be yours,
Kathy
It is a difficult thing to go through. You have come out the other side of it. I am glad you can find comfort in little things. Take all the time you need. We'll be here. Take care.
What a wonderful and love filled ending to the grief. You have so many people besides your family who are here for you and them as well.
(((hugs))) to you!
Sheryl, be gracious to yourself. As gracious as you would be to a friend who had watched her father grow ill and then die. A friend who had to bury her dearly beloved father. Be that gracious to yourself.
Peace.
A day to remember all who have touched our lives with love.
Hugs to you, Sheryl. Cyndy
You have been on my mind since you wrote about your Dad's passing.
You, your family (your Dad) touched more people than you know.
Go slow. Let yourself grieve; and remember the good times.
Can't say it enough. You and your Dad were so fortunate to have each other. It was the same with my kids and their Dad. They were like you and your Dad, but they didn't get a chance to say good-bye. The good part is that they never forgot to tell him they loved him and always gave goodbye hugs.
Miss you and love you. Let me know when we can get together.
I am so totally at a lack of words...here you are consoling me when you are in the middle of a gut wrenching time. I can not tell you how much your concern makes me truly believe, how much my blogging friends support me!
I admire what a strong and loving woman you are! I know you will/have found peace in your family's love.
My heart goes goes out to you!! So glad to hear you are doing better than good!! Sounds like you have found peace my friend.. And I do believe all we need is love!
Hugs, Linda
It's so hard to lose a parent because then we are nobody's child. But they still look after us, even when we are not aware.
I wish you comfort.

Dear Sheryl,
Thank you for commenting on my Saturday posting on splotching and spotting. I so loved the story you shared with me about that gracious hostess who knocked over her wine glass so as to make comfortable the person, who like myself is a spotter. I've often encountered just such graciousness in my friends.
Peace.
How ya doing there SweetieGirl? Please know we are thinking about you and your family and praying for your continued strength and love :-)
Sheryl, I'm so sorry to read about your Dad's passing. He was so lucky to have such a wonderful family. All the love and care he received, he was truly loved. You have lots of good memories of your Dad to see you through. All my good wishes to you and your family.
Loving you from afar :)
xo, misha
Oh I am so happy you are doing OK. The blogger families are the best at keeping us smiling I truly love all mine. I still wish I can give you that big hug, just know I am thinking of you. Take care. I am sure it was a beautiful service. B
Hugs to you. I have been praying for you. My dad isn't doing so hot. More and more confused. I cherish the time we have him.
aw. big hugs to you. real hugs, if you know what I mean.
xo,
Cheryl
I am sorry to hear of this, but am glad that you can reckon with it. Life is really tough at times. It's better to have known & loved him than to never have known him at all....I'll be thinking of you. My condolences to your family.

Remember to help your Mom take care of herself and you take care of yourself; it's a long, difficult time ahead of all of us.
