My Father Passed Away Last Night :(

Hi girls, my Father passed away. Those of
you who dont know... hes been fighting for
over 5 years of serosis of the liver,
active hep C and cancer. The last four
days I've been with him at his side, 2 in
the hospital and 2 at his house. I'm in
complete shock and it hasnt hit me real
hard yet. I'm thankful I got the time to
tell him what I wanted to. I told him
(even though he couldnt speak) everything
I wanted to, from telling him I forgive
him for anything hes done to upsset me
& vise versa, to bringing up old
classic family memories to tellling him I
understand that hes leaving me and that I
understand if he has to leave me from this
world into a new world of eternity with
our Lord and Savior. I'm making a tribute
album of songs for him for his celebration
of life get together. (since he diddnt
want a funeral. he wants us to celebrate
the good times, if that makes sense. so in
his honor ima make the best of it. his g/f
has angered me in this time of crisis
because she did his willwhen he was all
doped up on morphine and did it w/o
including my brother and myself, w/o a
notary either, so wasnt legal really. i
know what my dad wanted cuz he told me 2
months ago (when he was normal, not on
heavy doses of morphine) or so that he
wanted us kids to have his house and to
split his belongings. well she had him
sign the papers w/o a legal person there
to whitness and w/o us kids. she left us
nothing but some navy metals, pictures, 1
tv that barely works and a couple of
clocks. she told my bro he might get some
tools of my dads. well im over the angry
part about that, its just the principle im
mad about now. i mean that wasnt his
wishes at all, but if she wants to be
greedy, then so be it. she can have it
all, im not a material person, wasnt
raised that way. i just dont understand
how someone could be that way and say they
loved and honored him. she had no respect
for his wishes. so long as i get his
medals and pics im good to go. im just
happy that my dad isnt suffering anymore
and that i got the chance to say my
goodbyes. he is with the lord now and i
WILL see him again one day. there is a lot
of shady things this woman has done to me
and my family toward the end of my dads
days, very upsetting. ill post sometime
when i might want to vent, or maybe not
cuz it dosnt really matter anymore. i just
wanted to update you all. been the
roughest thing ive had to go thru and will
continue to go thru. im still in shock but
i know when it hits it will be really
hard. thank god i have my 2 month old son
to keep me going. my dad was 50 years old.

thankyou, im sure i will be posting a lot
on this tragic event in my life as ill be
going thru a ton of emotions. some might
be rants just so i feel im heard and so i
can get some bricks lifted off my chest.
ive held in a lot of things during this
difficult time. a ton of posts i want to
make in time (as i cope) will be about the
good times and how i feel about him going
home to our father and savior. i loved my
dad with all my heart and always will,
hope i can be 1/2 the mother of my newborn
(2 month old) son (1st child) as my dad
was a father to my brother and i. may my
father look down on me and smile, im going
to make him proud. =)

I'm so sorry for your loss. Am sending
you hugs and gentle thoughts.
Come To
Me
God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be
so he put his arms around you
and whispered,
"Come to Me"
With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you pass away
and although we loved you dearly
we could not make you stay.
A Golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove us
he only takes the best.

I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you stay
strong.
Just to let you know, the papers that she
had him sign are not legal so she will get
nothing. All his belongings will go to his
next of Kin. It is only legal when you go
to an attorney and have the papers drawn
up.
you need one of these too

I'm sorry for you loss.
I wanted to let you know that a will
doesn't have to be drawn up by an attorney
to be legal. I don't know what state your
dad lived in but in pa it doesn't even
have to be witnessed to be legal. That
may not be the case in your state tho.
Just to let you know, your dad's gf isn't
going to get everything right away,
usually there are probate proceedings in
court where the court will determine the
validity of the will. you can bring up
any concerns you have with the will then.
you'd have to check the laws of your state
though, i only know how things work in pa.
most lawyers will give you a free
consultation so you can ask questions and
determine what you need to do. i'm sorry
that you have to deal with all this right
now on top of how you already must be
feeling with your dad's passing.

I cant even imagine what you are going
through right now. I hope that you find
comfort in knowing that he has gone on to
be with the Father. He is in a better
place. Celebrate his life. I hope you
find peace, and I will keep you and your
family in my prayers.
