| My Dad passed away at 2AM. He went peacefully and quietly.
He will be mised, but I know that he is in a much better place than he was for a long time.
I and my family wish to thank my muskiefirst family for all of their prayers and support over this last week.
Give your dad a hug, and tell him that you love him.
I'll do my harderst to get the lures that are ordered out in time for the opener. Right now 99% are done, I'm just waiting on checks. Megaturds just need to be assembled. So if you ordered lures, chances are I'm waiting on you. Then I think that I'll need some "away time".

| Beav- God Bless your Dad as he makes this transistion. Also- God bless you and the family for being there for him! My dad also served during WWII - What an incredible sacrifice they made!
My Grandpa had a stroke when he was about 55, it definitely had an effect on his quallity of life, I''ll never forget his last WI deer hunting season with my dad & my brothers. Every drive/movement we did was planned to push a buck by Grandpa. He killed his last buck at age 77.
God Bless your Dad & the family!

Your family will be in my family's prayers. I'm sure the circumstances may make it seem easier, but I'm equally as sure that it never really is. May your memories be fond and long-lasting.

| I was that which others did not want to be.
I went where others feared to go, and did what others failed to do.
I asked nothing from those who gave nothing,
and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness
should I fail.
I have seen the face of terror, felt the stinging cold of fear,
and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love.
I have cried, pained and hoped,
but most of all, I have lived times some would say were best forgotten.
At least someday I will be able to say that I was
proud of what I was...

God bless you and your family.
Five years ago my father, a tough Irishman, developed a cancer that could not be beaten. My mother, sisters, and I did what we could to make his life comfortable as he faded. As painful as it was to watch him go, I never stopped thinking of him as an Irish, poker playing, beer drinking, fiercely loyal, WWII vet you could count on. As I read your thoughts, and see the picture you posted, I'm sure, even after he's gone, you will always keep your father close to your heart, as I do mine.

The hospice people took over today, and after the first exam, the lady in charge told us that we shouldn't expect him to make it through the night.
Thanks to all of you from my entire family.
They can't believe that a group of people that they don't know would rally to support us at out time of need.

Best place in the world to grieve is on the water, once the family is ready for you to take some time away. I know an old fart who'd be delighted to see to it you get out there, just give me a call. Sorry to hear about your Dad, Beav, hang in there and give everyone in the family a hug or 100. |

I been on the road for work and away from the board quite a bit the past few days. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Next weekend (Memorial Day Weekend) will be one year since we lost my wife's dad. I still remember those last few weeks like it was yesterday, time heals, but it still stings now and then.
Prayers and thoughts are with you. |

I lost my Dad (my best friend) three years ago at 52, this poem meant a lot to me and I read it every day... hope it helps you too.
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says
"There, she is gone"
"Gone where?"
"Gone from my sight. That is all"
She is just as large in Mast and Hull and Spar as when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at that moment when someone says, "There, she is gone" there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout "Here she comes!"
Hang in there

I'm sorry to hear of the pain you bear with the loss of your father. Grief is a cyclic event and not linear. One day you might be fine and the next day the pain seems overwhelming. Something triggers a memory of your dad, and it all comes rushing back. Don't let the pain overwhelm you. The pain is trying to teach you something. It's teaching you that if you hadn't loved your dad you wouldn't feel the pain of his loss. So the pain helps us to realise just how much we loved another and were loved in return by them. That is a great gift, even thoug it seems that it's a great burden too. I don't know that time heals all wounds. Some wounds might run to deep to ever heal completey, but time does allow us to accept that which has happend and learn what we can and must learn from events like this. In time, the pain does lessen, and maybe forms a scab over the wound. But there it's always there underneight the surface and you learn that though it's there and may never completely heal, that your stronger than your pain, and the burden is lessend. In time it can teach wisdom.
In the last 8 years I've lost both parents, and uncle, and my wife. The hurt may never go away, but in time we learn that we are stronger than we ever thought. If things seem to overwhelming, join a grief support group. There you will learn that your not alone and the feelings that you think no one else can understand, you'll find that there are a lot more fold who understand than what you ever thought.
My prayers to you and your family.
" I am the way, the truth, and the light. He that belivith in me, though he dies, yet shall he live." Your dad is waiting for you, Someday you will be reunited with him, and then there will be no more grief. |
