Bluegrass said:My Dad was such a loving, kind and gentle person, we miss him horribly!! We'll be organizing a memorial at a later date, where we hope to celebrate his life, and our life with him. He was the family historian, took such beautiful photographs, slides, 8mm, reel-to-reel, all sorts of media, worked for many years compiling all the family geneology, had started an autobiography filled with stories of his youth in rural Georgia... He was also a musician and woodworker. It really seems unbearable that he is gone, but somehow we have to bear itChristie
Dear Christie - I'm so extremely sorry for the loss of your dad. Mine died nearly six years ago, at age 66, on the first day of spring. I still miss him terribly.
This may be too soon, but forgive me. You may not stay close to this site after all of the initial grief and I want to tell you something that I did that you might like. (My dad grew up in Missouri and always returned to his midwest roots although he traveled to and lived in distant parts of this planet.) I took some of my dad's old clothes, he loved to be well-dressed so I chose nice wool slacks with houndstooth and herringbone patterns and some old Pendelton plaid wool shirts, and had one of my friends make stuffed teddy bears out of them (she has a business along that line, so I hired her). I had quite a few made, enough for all of my dad's grandsons, his siblings, my mother, my brother and his wife, and my husband and I. I had them made in different sizes too and with neckties and bowties and fedoras, which my dad loved wearing. They turned out beautifully and everyone really appreciated having one of the bears from some of Daddy's favorite clothes. It took me a couple of years to heal enough to get around to having them done.
May the worst part of your grief quickly subside and may happy memories bring comfort to you and your family. With deepest sympathy, ~Susan
