In reply to Cissy. Thank YOU for sharing, Cissy. How beautiful that your Dad's lasting impact on your son influenced where he is today so obviously. Yes, I have to agree, the separation that death causes is truly the hardest thing I've had to endure in this world. Thanks for taking the time to share.

I too was homeschooling my son when my father passed away……It will be 8 years ago this Valentine’s Day that Dad left Mom and me and my sisters, Luckily we all (daughters, sons-in-law, grandchildren and Mom) went to see him in the hospital 3 days before he breathed his last. My little family was at church when we received the call that Dad was gone……next we met for his funeral at the Military Cemetary…..all cried during the service. Years pass and now my son is in the military because of his Grandfather’s beliefs and because of his own love of this country. Losing a loved one is one of the hardest things to endure in this world, but I look with hope to see my family all together again beside the Creator. Thank-you for telling your story, and allowing me to share mine. ~ Blessings ~ Cissy

In reply to thalma kyner. Thank you, Thalma, for taking the time to comment. It truly means the world to me to know that my sharing is helping someone else. It's been difficult (yet simultaneously therapeutic) to share my heartache, but God is so good in letting me know that it is having a positive impact on others... there's no better reason to write. Ever.

Thank you so much for this blog, God has used you. I´ve had several good cries since finding your sight about 2 weeks ago. I grew up in Connecticut and now live in Alabama. I do miss the beautiful Autumn and snow ( though not the shoveling). I´ve been missing my parents alot since November. My father passed away 5 years ago in November (1 day before my son´s birthday), and my mother´s home going 5 year anniversary will be in July ( 1 day before my anniversary). I was the one going through their house and things which was very hard, but also gave me a lot of time to grieve in private. I am very thankful for the time to remember them as I went through their things. How Great Thou Art is my favorite song and I sang it, and worshipped with it many times during those times. Thank you for sharing. Isn´t our God wonderful? His peace certainly is beyond comprehension.
