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.
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.
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.
