My loving father passed on to heaven on Saturday, June 27, 2015. He is no longer in pain nor suffering the emotional trauma of losing his wife of 49 1/2 years back in 2012. There is comfort in knowing that they are back together again. Therefore I am taking a moment of silence here on my blog to mourn the profound loss of my dad and grieve properly. I appreciate everyone’s thoughts and prayers. I’ll be back in a few days. My advice for now is to go hug your loved ones and tell them how much they mean to you. Life is precious and every day is a gift!

I’m happy that he is no longer suffering and is reunited with your Mom now but I also know how your heart is going to grieve. If you need to talk or vent or scream, remember I know what you are going through and I’m here for you.
