I hope you can heal whatever family wounds have been created. A good father would have wanted that very much.

and glad you won guardianship. That will likely help in dealing with the estate.

You both fought a good fight. Peace to you.

I wish you strength in dealing with your grief.

I was with my father when he died. I think he waiting until it was just the two of us. I think about and miss him every single day, and it's been 15 years.

Sometimes, when I'm really struggling with something, and a solution pops into my head, I wonder if it's him, still guiding me.

I'll keep you in my thoughts.

He knew he could let go..........because of what had happened, and how you told him...

May he rest easy now...

in the future, as you process all this, it will mean so much to you.

take care of you, now.

and you loved and took care of him.
It won't happen now as you grieve, but soon you'll be flooded with beautiful memories including the sound of his voice.

The place....speaking from experience..

Talk to local precinct as well.

Drew.

you did all you could; be good to yourself

I want to die as the day declines,
at high sea and facing the sky,
while agony seems like a dream
and my soul like a bird that can fly.

To hear not, at this last moment,
once alone with sky and sea,
any more voices nor weeping prayers
than the majestic beating of the waves.

To die when the sad light retires
its golden network from the green waves
to be like the sun that slowly expires;
something very luminous that fades.

To die, and die young, before
fleeting time removes the gentle crown,
while life still says: "I'm yours"
though we know with our hearts that she lies.

It seems to me, that maybe your Dad knew you had things in hand and he could rest now from his long struggles. May you find peace.

Jay

I'm glad you were triumphant and that he could go peacefully.
RIP

the amount of vultures that appear when someone passes away...

sorry your brother and sister felt a need to put you thru that :p

btw, what a weird cold response from the nurse..
surely there were kinder words then expire to use.. golly.


so sorry for your loss!

and I am glad you got the guardianship.

He didn't want you agonizing over a defeat in court after his passing.

at least it did seem like he got some peaceful news at the end. you did good taking care of him.

And for the trauma with your siblings, which makes things even worse.

I hope you have other loved ones and friends close by to support you now.

Through all of this, you stood for your dad. I am so sorry about his passing, but I am so happy that you were able to stay string enough to see he was taken care of.

You deserved the guardianship. You did, it is a tribute to how you took care of you dad.

MAy his passing be peaceful and I want you to know, I have a candle lit for you.

hope i am so lucky one day.

:hugs:

I'm sorry for your loss, especially after having to fight off your greedy siblings.

The loss of a beloved parent is very difficult. Please be very kind to yourself after the ordeal you have been through. Your devotion and determination are an inspiration.

LaydeeBug. I am so glad you wrested Guardianship from your very greedy-sounding siblings, and I am glad your dad knew you won before he passed. Money can be an awful thing. When my husband's dad died, the wicked witch he had married 6 months after my husband's (Chuck) mom died cheated Chuck out of his share of the estate. Even worse, within 3 days of his death, the Wicked Witch gave away all of Chuck's dad's belongings to some kid who was going to seminary school. He was also the nephew of a wealthy widower & a big shot at the church the Wicked Witch attended. Despicable. When Chuck protested, saying that they were his dad's things & there some items he wanted, the Wicked Witch--right in front of Chuck, his sister, and me--casually remarked, "Well, you were adopted. It's not like you were his real son." Chuck's sister said NOTHING, but I went postal on that POS. That was 17 years ago & Chuck has spoken to his sister twice. She wanted the money, which she got, but she lost her brother. Both times they've spoken, his sister initiated contact. After that betrayal, Chuck never wanted to speak to her again, and he esentially didn't.

Please accept this virtual hug and, again, my deepest condolences. You are a wonderful daughter & a wonderful person.

You've been such a caring person through this all.

You and your father were very lucky to have one-another.

Peace.

Huge hugs.

your papa and there is nothing greater than taking care of someone. Time is your friend here, honey. I hug and embrace both of you. Your papa is still with you. What makes you think that your father would ever leave you now?
He is there, just out of sight, holding you close. Hugs to both of you. You done good.

all of this for awhile now.

Sounds like dad hung on for you at the end.

words fail

LaydeeBug. And I'm glad you won guardianship. You will do what's right, and your siblings can just simmer.

I'm going to meet with our attorney as soon as she returns from vacation and make certain that our wills are up to date. Then I'm going to take our brood out to dinner and explain the whole situation to them. advance medical directives, durable power of attorney, disposition of the estate, the whole nine yards. I'm certain that at least one of them will be less than thrilled with what they hear but I want them all to hear it from their mother and myself instead of each of them making their own interpretations.

I'll be thrilled if one of them turns out to be as good a daughter as you.

I understand what you are going through with your siblings. Stay strong. I had a similar situation with my sister. This kind of thing brings the true colors out. You father was lucky to have you on his side. It is the best feeling to know that someone has your back!

Take care and stay true to yourself.

My wife is in a similar situation with her father and his conniving greedy son. She lost her mother three years ago in a similar fashion as you lost your dad.
Thee difference is, she told her mom it was ok to let it go. She closed her eyes and passed away right then.

My thoughts go out to you.
