GD, I am so very sorry for the loss of your father. I will be thinking of you on Friday. Prayers of comfort to you. My dad has been gone for 9 years and I still miss him but smile daily because of him. Hugs to you.

GD, I've just come back to my computer after a few days away. I am so so sorry to hear about your dad's death. It's very hard to lose your dad, and must be so much harder, having already lost your mum. I'm so, so sorry. I know you wish you could be there for him on Friday but he knows how much you loved him and miss him. He will always be there in your heart, kept safe in your memories and love for him. I think he must have been very very proud of you because he raised a wonderful woman. Wish I could hug you in person. {{{{{GD, her Dad and her family}}}}} You are very special. Arohanui, much love, Haere ra, GD's Dad, farewell and Godspeed.

Thank you all so much for all your support and your posts here. I'm hanging in there. Will take off work on Friday, the day of the funeral. Also took off last Monday. Enjoyed taking Glen to the beach with GG (pictures on the thread "for anyone who needs a smile") to get my mind off things. It was a nice outing.
Today a friend is taking me to Ikea to get out a bit and to eat some Swedish meatballs in the cafeteria. It's nice to have good friends around. -
GD, is there any way someone can tape the funeral/wake for you so that at least you can see it?

It's going to just be a very small funeral. There is hardly any of my father's side of the family left - just the wife of a brother who passed last year and I don't know if she'll even make it as she lives in another part of the country. Then there's my brother and my mom's sister, her husband and daughter. And probably just a handful of friends. My dad wasn't one for big gatherings, so we decided to just keep it small. So there really won't be anyone there who could do any taping.
If my stupid boss pays me today (three days late) I'm going to try and see if I can order some flowers. -
GD, that would be a nice thing to do.

I finally got paid this afternoon when I got into work. Wednesday instead of Monday, but at least I got paid. The customers have been great, and most of the staff. Evil Boss Lady posted her condolences on my facebook page and hasn't said another word. All Big Boss has said to me was "please get me a protein shake". At least he said please.
Bike friend took me to Ikea today to eat Swedish food at the cafeteria and feel a bit like I was home, and buy therapeutic chocolate and salty licorice in the food market. We were there 3.5 hours and didn't even get through the whole place. It was a nice outing - good to get out a bit.

I really am sorry about the insensitivity in the workplace. They are really self absorbed I believe. I am glad you have friends that are with you. If you can't be with your family, this is almost similiar--good friends are like family--sometimes even more supportive. May you be surrounded by love and know peace.

They are, SM, unfortunately. Like I said, the clients have been great. Willow's dad texted me today when he heard and was very sweet. Someone came in this morning with a card. The intern yesterday went and bought me a treat of frozen yogurt. Very touching.
Don't know what I'll do Friday - maybe take Glen to the beach again :) -

I'm so sorry, GD. I wish I could be with you in person to give you a big hug. You know we all care so much for you because you have a heart of gold---that's proof of the wonderful job your father (and mother) did. {{Charlotte}}

GD, rather than spending your very hard earned dollars on flowers, may I suggest that you do something that is a tribute to your father. Did he like flowers? Then take a bouquet to an unsuspecting lady in a nursing home that hasn't seen that in years. Did he like to see sunsets? Then ride your bike to a point overlooking a beautiful sunset. Did he love you - of course he did. Then buy something for your home that is a lasting memory of him. He would not want the flowers, knowing how dear they come. Rather, celebrate his life with something that lives on.
Just my thoughts.

GD, I'm late in seeing this, I'm so sorry for your loss. Seeing WWM's idea I thought I would share what we did last year when our dear neighbor died (I always had joked that he was my adopted father). My fondest memory of him is seeing him work in his yard, so we contacted the Arbor Day Foundation and had 25 trees planted in his honor. It is not expensive to do this, but it is a lasting and living memorial. It can all be done online.
