I'm doing really well. I know it's something sad we have in common that we both lost a parent so close together. The hardest thing for me is seeing mum without Dad, and often she just seems lost, like half of her is missing...after 60 years together :( Going to visit her sometimes makes it all feel harder. I see her a couple of times a week, and try to bring some joy into her life. It's early days...and I know it will get easier in time. I miss my Dad, his jokes and funny stories and that he used to call me Lindy Loo :) He loved his garden and one day when I went to visit mum and she wasn't home and I walked around the back of their house and saw Dad's compost bin. I started crying....the garden felt so empty without him. I can imagine losing your mum would be even harder. My heart truly goes out to you Tania xoxo I'll keep you in my prayers.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089908106331409725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849778772100810529.post-13218001056368960002021-11-06T04:40:07.455-07:002021-11-06T04:40:07.455-07:00Hi Linda, I have just seen this post, and I am so ...Hi Linda, I have just seen this post, and I am so sorry for your loss.<br /><br />Your Dad was the same age as my Mum, and they passed at similar times. My mum died 18th July 2021 aged 81.<br /><br />This is a beautiful tribute to your Dad. He was indeed a handsome young man, I can see you in him.<br /><br />I am missing my Mum terribly at the moment. My life feels empty because she is no longer here.<br /><br />God Bless you and your family. Hope you are doing okay.<br /><br />Love Tania xxxTaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849778772100810529.post-76771280207388456712021-10-14T12:09:12.349-07:002021-10-14T12:09:12.349-07:00Thank you for your kind encouraging words Karen :)...Thank you for your kind encouraging words Karen :)Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089908106331409725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849778772100810529.post-61319060643841520402021-10-12T22:06:25.483-07:002021-10-12T22:06:25.483-07:00So sorry to read about your loss, though what joy ...So sorry to read about your loss, though what joy to know he knew the Lord!

Regards the post: the words just flowed. I wanted to record everything while it was still 'fresh' as I'm quite a forgetful person. I phoned mum this morning and she was cleaning :) she likes to keep busy. She knows it will take a long time to accept life without Dad and she's wise enough to just give herself that time, however long it takes. She has all of us for support too.

Reading about your father reminded me so much of my own father. He passed away in 2018 age 90 and I miss him every day but know he is in Heaven. Thank you so much for sharing the list of lessons learned. Ive put in on my refrigerator as a daily reminder. May God continually bless you and may you find comfort in the happy memories of your dear father.
