My Father Died Today..

My Father Daniel Elijah Morgan, died in his sleep last night. He was in his eighties ( I know it's remiss of me not to know how old he was - It's one of those things I was getting around to asking ).

He'd had a stroke months ago, and was having kidney dialysis. The hospital called my sister as he failed to make his appointment. She had the sad task of finding him.

I loved him, he did some good things and some bad things but I loved him, and wish I spent more time with him, as I had to move far from where he lived.

I am so pleased that last night I spoke to him for the last time, but I said "I love You Daddy". So pleased

Life goes on and have to see what happens next week as I am executor of the will with my sister.

Warriors, if you love someone, anyone - Tell them you love them! They are not going to die tomorrow, but when someone goes away and you don't get a chance to say "I love You" or "Goodbye" unexpectedly, that can be the hardest thing. I didn't know it last night but at least I got to say goodbye. We were even talking afterward about having him come to us for Christmas.

Got to go now, but thanks for stopping by.

God Bless

Just wanted to get it off my chest. I am happy in myself, it's just that it was sooner than expected.

      Brian,
      My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I completely agree with you, that although it is sad to lose someone you love, we should celebrate the time we were able to share with them.

      I have a saying that I remember...always take the time tell those you care about that you love them when you get the moment to because there is no guarantee that you will get a moment to again. Even though I try to make it a point to tell my family and friends I love them, it also made me realize that it had been awhile since I had told my mom and dad that I love them, even though I talk to them frequently. Then, I ended up sitting listening to a fatherly lecture but at the end of the call my dad told me thank you for calling and telling him I love him.

      Bless you Brian, and thank you for sharing.

            It sounds like you have the right attitude and strength to get through this.
            They say we are a reflection of our parents. From what I have seen of you on this forum, I believe your father was a good man.

    Aww mate sorry to hear that. Losing a parent is hard no matter how old you are. Watching them get old and frail and knowing that time grows short can be hard to deal with. But you got to say you loved him! That'll make you feel so much better. I think there'd be nothing worse than missing the chance and wishing if only...

    It'll be tough with Christmas around the corner - it'll really hit you that there is a big place missing in the family get together. You'll cope though, and you've got years of memories to help you through.

    Make him proud of you.

    I am sorry for your loss Brian. Losing a parent is never easy because it is so final. I lost my father two years ago to lung cancer. He was 81. I still miss him very much. Like you, I did get the chance to tell him how much I loved him before he died. I will share with you a poem that brings me comfort and as you say celebrates life.

    I Did Not Die
    Do not stand on my grave and weep
    I am not there I do not sleep.
    I am a thousand winds that blow
    I am the diamond glints in the snow
    I am the sunlight on ripened grain
    I am a gentle Autumns rain
    When you awaken in the morning hush
    I am the swift uplifting rush
    I am the birds in circled flight
    I am the soft stars that shine at night
    So do not stand on my grave and cry
    I am not there.... I did not die

      My wife asked me how I was? I said there's nothing I can do. We have a young family and life has to go on. I am sad, and I will cry again but I'm doing all I can for my family now.

      Thank You again.

      Thank You Kurt.

      I'm feeling the loss again reading your words. I will miss talking to him most I think? Even though we were far away, I could talk to him.

      He got his laptop working recently, and my sister said he looked really pleased, because he could get back online. That was yesterday.

      I don't believe to talking to people who have passed away, but I'm savouring the good memories

      Thanks Kurt

        Brian,
        I just read your post and am sorry for your loss. If its any consolation - your words inspired me to walk away from this computer and go visit my parents, both of whom are in their eighties too.

        Helped a bit in the garden, found the missing screw for dad's glasses and mended them, took a cake, had a cup of tea. It was too easy.

        Thank you and God bless.

    It's been nearly eighteen years since my Dad died. I think what got me through the worst of it was the thought that it only hurt so much because I was so lucky to have known him, and that I hurt so that he didn't have to anymore.

    I once heard somewhere that no one ever really dies until the last person that can remember them is gone. There's a little part of them that's with you always. I still miss my Dad, but mostly I smile when I think of him now. So many daft memories.

    I hope the days get easier for you soon. Take care of you and yours.

    It is the nature of things. All of us know that this loss will come one day, but, still, we are never ready. Your father has lived his life and took care of his family, now time for him to get some peace.

    You should be glad you were able to tell him that you love him. He now lives in you.

    Been trying to respond to this since yesterday and kept finding myself picturing my Dads favorite chair under his favorite shade tree in his backyard and then getting lost in my head in the hours and hours of conversations we had over the years...until he passed away in February of this year.

    The stillness of the yard and the empty chair are still a little tough for me but the GREAT memories and the love he showed his family are as alive as ever...

    The bad experiences and memories? Well...they're just not important anymore...

      Dave you so touched a cord in me with what you said. I could picture a tree and chair and imagine the two of you talking together - What a blessing your Dad must have been to you. What fantastic memories you must have of him still.

      You said it! "Bad experiences and memories?" Not important.

      The loss of a father is hard. I know because my father died when I was 37 and I still regret not saying some of the things I wanted to tell him.

      You done a good thing when you told him you loved him. Bless you.
      Bless You Rick, thanks for taking the time out to say what you did. I really appreciate it.

      God Bless You and Yours - Always!

      My condolences go out to you and your family Brian.

      Stay strong and positive, knowing that you have the love and support of friends, family members and fellow warriors should you ever need it.

      I lost my step dad (more of a dad to me) 2 years ago and it did not hit me straight away, but with good people around me to turn to when I needed it, it helped me get through.

      Positive thoughts, strength and love being sent to you and your family from here in Brum...

      Daniel, thanks for the heads up! Really appreciate that

      Funeral date is set, so there's going to be much to do of course. We relatively okay, we'll see how things go on the day

      Cheers

    I loved him, he did some good things and some bad things but I loved him, and wish I spent more time with him, as I had to move far from where he lived.

    I am so pleased that last night I spoke to him for the last time, but I said "I love You Daddy". So pleased

    Life goes on and have to see what happens next week as I am executor of the will with my sister.

    Warriors, if you love someone, anyone - Tell them you love them! They are not going to die tomorrow, but when someone goes away and you don't get a chance to say "I love You" or "Goodbye" unexpectedly, that can be the hardest thing. I didn't know it last night but at least I got to say goodbye. We were even talking afterward about having him come to us for Christmas.

    Got to go now, but thanks for stopping by.

    God Bless

    Just wanted to get it off my chest. I am happy in myself, it's just that it was sooner than expected.

    Good Tribute post, and blessings to your Dad.

    My Dad also passed about 6 years ago. He was only 46.

    He was the only person I ever really looked up to.

    I'm so sorry to hear that. I lost my mother 2 years ago and all I can tell you is that the pain eases with time - it's really true. Take comfort in the fact that you said "I love you".

      Hello Brian, I send my love and prayers to you and your Family. You are so right about telling your love ones that you love them.

      My Father died when I was in the Military overseas. I wouldn't come home for leave because i didn't want to make that long trip. 5 yrs. later my Father died and I realized that I hadn't talked with him nor say to him that I love him. He was very proud of me too!
      Untill this day..22yrs. later- it still eats me up when I think about it.

      Be blessed,
      Truby
