He's gone....

Thank you to all of my friends here at PR who sent prayers and well wishes to my Dad recently. My Dad was on the road to recovery, but something happened last night. It's still unclear. He fell and died from a blow to the head he received from the fall or had a heart attack or stroke and fell and died because of that.

He's gone and I'll miss him. He wasn't a perfect man, but he was my Dad and all I had.

RIP Dad. I'll miss you and you'll forever be in my heart.

With all of his grandkids in Christmas of 2005.

Brendan bringing my Dad is jersey before the biggest game of the season. My Dad was a semi-pro football player and coached for many years. I thank god I got him out to most of Brendan's games this season. I meant the world to him.

:cryin: I'm so sorry Jeta.
My heart goes out to you and your family.

I lost my Mum when I was 23, and my Dad when I was 34 so I know EXACTLY how you feel.
{{{hugs}}} {{{hugs}}} and more {{{hugs}}}

Awwww look at your Dad's face after that guy gave him a hug! Thank you so much for sharing these pictures with us. You captured some lovely moments there.

Wow, sorry to hear that. I had a similar thing happen in my family almost two years ago, where we were on the road to recovery and then the person died. I know how unbelievable it can seem. My condolences to your family.

Jeta,

I'm so sorry about your Dad. Thank you for sharing it here with all of us, your friends. I'm glad you posted the pictures, so we can see some of your family with their grandfather. That's a beautiful image of your Dad after his grandson gave him the shirt.

I'll remember you and your family in my prayers. God bless all of you.

May god be with you and your family during this difficult time, you have great photos, and even better memories with him. I'm truly sorry for your loss, and will keep you in my prayers.

I'm very sorry to hear this news. We all realize that we are on this earth for just a short time, but when death takes us home, it is very tough to deal with. Your fond memories of your dad will be with you forever. I'm so glad you captured these great shots of him, to share with us. He appears to really be proud of his grandkids. Just managing to capture a photo of an elderly person smiling, can be a challenge. He looks like he was a fun loving guy.

I'll be sure to say an extra prayer for you and your family this evening, to help you cope with this incredible loss.

Thanks for posting your most valuable photos.

Peace to you, Jetta and all those affected by your dad's journey.

Very sorry to hear that Jeta; I'll say a prayer for you and your family.

My deepest condolences Julie. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayer.

Jeta:
Sorry for your loss.

Julian

Jeta,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss, may you get comfort in those great pictures and memories.

Karen

Some great pictures to remember him b Jeta, may he rest in peace.

My condolences JETA.

JETA, My condolences. From the photos you have posted, it looks like he lived a full and happy life.

My best wishes to you and your family Jeta. A difficult loss for sure.

My heartfelt condolences, I lost my Father very young and my Mother 7 years ago. Just because we get older doesnt mean we love our parents any less than when we were
kids.

My thoughts and prayers are with you

Jeta , I am sorry to hear about your father.

Sorry to hear the bad news. My dad is 87 and I know somewhere in the future I will be facing the same thing. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Jeff

Sorry to hear that. Thanks for sharing the memories.

I'm sorry for the loss, Jeta. Thank you for sharing the memories though, and the pictures really capture the love he had for your family.

Sorry for your loss, he will remain alive in your photos and families memories . . .

Thanks everyone for the support. This has been a really difficult time for me obviously. I'm trying to write my Dad's obituary, clean out his apartment and plan a celebration in his honor. I still just can't believe it. He called me sometimes 4 x's a day. At times I'd feel myself getting irritated with all of the phone calls. Now what I'd give for that phone to ring.....

It'll get better I know. Thanks again.
