OT: My Sad News

Glengary · Post by **Glengary** » Sat Jan 19, 2002 7:42 pm

Steve,
It's been six years since I lost my Dad - and we were very close. I hope you can find peace and comfort in appreciating the good things you shared, in knowing that the love between a parent and child is unique to itself, and that many people within this community (as well perhaps in the other "communities" of your life) empathize with you and support you in this trying time. Keep the good things of her close to heart.
Tim

Dear Steve,

It's been almost two years to the day since I lost my mother at about the same age as yours. I share your grief and pray for peace and comfort in the midst of your loss.

Steve,

I want to add my condolences to the above. It has not been long since I lost my mother as well and there is often something special between mothers and sons... I'll play a tune for her as well and keep you in my thoughts today.

Steve,

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my father a few years ago, he was only 54. I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you, and I wish you the best during this difficult time, and beyond.

Take Care, and don't hesitate to shout for us here on the message board if there's anything we can do to help.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my Dad 6 months ago and I know it is hard to give them up. But, I know it helps me to think of him able to play music again in a better place than I can imagine. I prayer is that your Mom is enjoying renewed life too. You and your family are in my prayers.

Steve, I'm very sad to hear of the loss of your mother. My prayers are with you and your family. It's a tradition on this board to play a tune for the loved one. Many people played for my dad two years ago when I announced his death here. I'll play a slow air and think of you.

Steve,

Very sorry to hear of your loss. I am blessed to still have both my parents, to whom I am very close.

My heartfelt sympathies to you and your family. I too lost my ma after a long ugly illness. I treasure the memories of her before she got sick. She was caring, gentle and what I treasure most, full of fun and laughter. She always had a joke or story for me when I came home. She and my father were the smoothest dancers on the floor at weddings and get togethers. I wish you peace Steve, and may your memories of your mother in the good times bring a smile to your heart.
