Thank You For The Snow
Blogger friends,
My dad passed away this evening. I will give more information later when I am more composed. Thank you for all the kind thoughts and prayers. I am still in the Salt Lake City area, sitting at his desk, missing him.

Sam,
You have my deepest sympathies. I hope you know that your father is no longer burdened with the discomforts of life on this planet. I also hope you know that you will see him again. I don't know if that helps, but I hope it does in some small way. You and your family will be in my prayers.
My thoughts are with you and yours.
I'm so sorry. You are in my thoughts.
I am so so sorry Sam. Much love to you and your family. You someday will be reunited with your father like I will be with mine. This is only a temporary parting.
Sam~ You have my deepest sympathy. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I am sorry, God Bless
Said a prayer for you and your family. You have my sympathies in your time of grieving.
my heart breaks for you hun...
take care of you...
peace...
Oh Sam, I am so sorry. You and your family are in my thoughts. May you have the strength you need to get through this time. Hugs sweetheart.
I'm crying for you, with you. I am so very sorry - I know there is nothing else I can say.
I am so sorry for your loss.
I will say a prayer for your family.
I am so----SO sorry. I know he was glad to have you by his side.
Please take care and hang in there.
Dearest Sam,
I want you to know that my
thoughts and prayers are
with you. I lost my Dad
on Christmas Day this year
from complications from
COPD/emphesyema. I left more of a note below, but
please know I'm just an email away - I miss my Dad
too, Sam, and I know it
still feels very surreal.
Just an email away, if you
ever need me.
with gentle hugs,
Cathi xx
I came via Sasha. I know you don't know me, I've never visited before but for what it is worth I have you in my thoughts right now. xx
Sam,
I was sorry to hear that your dad passed away too. It's a hard time, I know. I know we don't "know" each other, but if you need any thing (talk, rant, rave, etc) I'd be happy to obliged. Ask Andi, I'm a pretty good listener.
Holy Shit. I am a month behind. I feel like an ass.
As some one who has experienced loss of an immediate family member I will say nothing except that I respect what you are going through. I will never say "I understand." (I did not know your father.) I will never say "I am sorry for your loss" (You did not "lose him" like a fucking set of keys. And I will never say "I know this must be so hard." I don't know. I only know MY story not yours. I would never be so presumptious.
These common statements are all bullshit. What I can send you is a tacit quiet "electronic" embrace of compassion. We all reel from death differently. I can only wish for you a way through this with whatever grace and tears you need.
It has only been a month and I hope that when you do think of your dad in the times ahead, you will smile more and cry less.
IF there is ever anything I can do, please let me know.
Peace.
