Heading to San Diego today

[Lamonster]

I posted this on my 109 board but I thought I would let you guys know what's going on in my life right now. This is what I posted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I had planned on running out with James next week but my Dad's bone cancer has took a turn for the worst.

I know a lot of you have lost loved one's and I thought that I knew how it must feel but I've got to say that I've never felt so helpless seeing there is nothing I can do to fix this. I knew when I went to see him and my Mom a couple of months ago that it may be the last time I would see him alive but the reality of that has not hit me till now.

Through my youth I gave my folks a lot of grief and there were times I wish I could go back and make right. We do have a great relationship now and I love him dearly but he's been in bad pain for the last 5 years and he's told me he's ready to go. I'm not even sure how to pray for him at this point other than God's will be done.

My Mom is not taking this very well and if it wasn't for my sister being there to help I don't know what she would do. She doesn't drive and counted on my Dad for everything. I think there is a long hard road ahead for all of us.

It looks like I'll be going back to San Diego in the next day or two so please pray for my Mom that she will be able to cope with this and that I would have the wisdom to do the right thing and be a help.

Have a great time in Daytona and thank you all for your friendship.

I am very sorry for what you are going through. You will be in my prayers.
Both my parents died a few years ago within a month of each other so I have a idea of the pain.

I'm sorry to hear your family is going through this. You and your family are in my prayers. May you have a safe trip.

 

[NancysToy]

I know exactly what you are going through. I have been through the exact same thing myself, and it is difficult for everyone. Don't worry about the grief you once gave your parents. We all did so, and they did not put any of us up for adoption. They love you, and they accepted the hurdles willingly. Be there for your parents right now, and we will help be there for you. Together we will get through this with love and prayers. Hang tight, Lamont.

Lamont,
You and your father and your family have already been in our prayers and will continue to be there. I pray for peace for you and your mother and your sister. From speaking with you, I believe your father is already at peace and ready to go home to The Father. It is comforting and hard to understand all at the same time. It still hurts, saying good bye as we are left on this earth to finish out our days. I know you take great comfort in the knowledge that you are not alone though, and that Christ will be with you through all of this. Be safe in your travels as you head to San Diego and just remember that your parents have already forgiven you the grief you caused them just as our Lord has forgiven us for the grief we have caused him. Now is the time to spend in their presence with love, not sorrow. In Christ Always,
Deb

My thoughts and wishes are with you and your family. My dad passed away on my wedding day and I was no where near, it still pains me.

You are a joy to your dad and mom. What is most important is that you are sorted. Your love for them showed thru your posting and I am sure they feel the same.

 

[Big Arm]

Lamont, You and your family are in our prayers. Take care. ray:

 

[docdoru]

Lamont: over time your emotions and feelings will balance out. I think it is a very common and expected reaction. Eventually you will probably come to terms with the reality of it. Thats seem to have been my experience when various tragedies befell my family members.
Be safe on your trip!

 

[retread]

Lamont, my prayers, and the prayers of my church and riding friends will be with you and your family, lean on Him, He'll always be there for you.

[IMRU3]

In sadness, there will be joy. In pain, there will be healing. May God's love comfort you and give you strength in this difficult time.

Lamont, My prayers go out to you and your family. when his spirit leaves this world his pain is over. The pain and grief for you and your family will last a long time if not forever. I lost my father 3 years, still have not gotten over it. Living on part of the old farm doesn't help much.
I meet you in Myrtle Beach. I was on the red flamed BH trike. Was looking foward to our Spyders meeting in Daytona. But as I well know Family Comes First. Your in my prayers.
