Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 Thank you for the reply. I have greatly appreciated all prayers. There is definate power in prayer. The nurse who was with dad said he just turned his head, looked at her with his big blue eyes, shut his eyes, and went to sleep. I am so thankful for this. Keeping you in my prayers as well.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 Barb Thank you for replying. Yes, I agree, dad's last few days he was surrounded by love, respect, dignity, and the chance to live as a grown man making choices. I hope you and your hubby are well and that life is treating you good. Take Care Sandie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 Donna Thank you for the reply. You are so right, there is a big hole, yet it seems to be in my heart. I know that my dad's decision was the right one to make and for that I am proud to call him my dad, father, and mentor. It truly takes a brave person to do what he did. Here's hoping you and your family are all well. Sandie Des Moines, IA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 Awwwww, my dad's big blue eyes. Yesterday, during times of our visit he would fixate on me making complete eye contact. It was as if he was trying to tell me something and I would ask he needed to tell me something. I told him to talk to me as I would truly love to hear his voice. I feel now that he was trying to tell me good bye. I will always admire him for his courage! I really hope life is giving you happiness!

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2002 Report Share Posted September 21, 2002 Sandi, I am so sorry. I was so very shocked to read your posting this AM. Your loss has effected me greatly. To close to home. There is so much I want to express, but for now I cannot find the words. I have great respect for your Father. To have had this horrible disease and still have the strength and mind to go the way he wanted to go and you respecting his wishes. The love he gave to you with those big blue eyes the last time. He was telling you " Thank you daughter for the time, love, and care you have given me. " I truly believe he is happy and at peace with your Mother now. I see them both with arms wrapped around each other, big blue eyes looking down, very proud and very content in knowing they raised such a wonderful strong daughter together. I am here for you when you need me. Debbie Curtis Iowa+ Iowa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2002 Report Share Posted September 21, 2002 Bertha Thank you. I always look forward to seeing your posts, this time being the same. I told my brother that I feel somewhat lost as I tried to give so much time for dad...doing the research and fighting as his advocate...now where do I fit in. Life may take me down some different path now and I will go with honor knowing my dad was the strongest, most brave person I have ever met. Thank you for your kind words. How is your hubby doing? Hoping all is well with you. Sandie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 21, 2002 Report Share Posted September 21, 2002 Debbie Thank you for the reply. I had wanted to call you personally, just didn't. And not even sure why. I greatly appreciate your reply and the caring way you expressed it. I will try to call you soon, maybe next week. Please continue to hold your head high, be strong.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2002 Report Share Posted September 22, 2002 Dear Sandie, I have been where you are now. I know the " hole in your heart " . I also know, from our phone conversation of some time ago, that you realize that now the only one that can " fill " that hole is Jesus. I will always miss my earthly Father, but my Heavenly Father promises that I will someday be reunited with Dad as long as I place my life in the hands of Jesus. For me, I have found consolation in this truth. Here is a verse that has given me great comfort.....I pray that it will do likewise for you....... Romans 8:38, 39, New International Version For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Sandie; He always keeps His promises! with Love & prayers, your sister in Christ, Leanne Re: Re: Dad Won His Battle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2002 Report Share Posted September 22, 2002 Sandie, I am just catching up on emails. I am so sorry for your loss. I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers. God Bless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2002 Report Share Posted September 22, 2002 Leanne Thank you so much for comforting my faith and soul. As you knew with our phone conversation, I do believe in God and the power of prayer. My dad's passing is a testimony of that. He was up walking the halls the night before he died, very coherent, used the restroom (of which he had not done for about 4 wks)...and what a statement: " I am fine and healthy, my mind and body are functioning, all faculties are well...now I will lay down and go to sleep " ... This is my interpretation of how my dad finished off his life...with great dignity and honor and I know this was powered by Someone other than myself. Thank you Leanne, and God Bless you! Hope to talk to you soon and here your comforting voice again! In Christ ~ Sandie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
