I just wanted to let you all know that my dad died this morning on his way to the hospital. He had pneumonia in addition to the cancer, and he was really weak. Please pray for me and my family right now. It's really hard.

Thank you.
Galadriel

I am so sorry. Please, please, talk to me if you need someone to talk to. I can't even begin to understand what you are going through, but know that I am here for you.

Yes, don't think I mean you should be in any hurry to go there, but when you do he'll be there, I'm sure.

Galadriel, I heard this song on the radio, and thought of you. I know the situation isn't exactly the same, but from what you have told us of your father, if you put it in context for yourself, I think it really fits. J absolutely loves this song. I'm sure if you could talk to your dad, this is what he'd say to you.

I'm Already There

(Richie McDonald/Gary Baker/Frank Myers)

He called her on the road
From a lonely cold hotel room
Just to hear her say I love you one more time
But when he heard the sound
Of the kids laughing in the background
He had to wipe away a tear from his eye
A little voice came on the phone
Said "Daddy when you coming home"
He said the first thing that came to his mind

I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
I'm your imaginary friend
And I know I'm in your prayers
Oh I'm already there

She got back on the phone
Said I really miss you darling
Don't worry about the kids they'll be alright
Wish I was in your arms
Lying right there beside you
But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight
And I'll gently kiss your lips
Touch you with my fingertips
So turn out the light and close your eyes

I'm already there
Don't make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart
I'm the moonlight shining down
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already there

We may be a thousand miles apart
But I'll be with you wherever you are

I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already there
Oh I'm already
There

I am so very sorry to hear that. I am praying for you and your family may you get through this event.

May You father find peace.

Galadriel! No!
Man, you probably know I don't prey... but my thoughts are with you.
If you ever want to talk to me, just e-mail at [email protected] and I'll get right on to you.
You've been a fantastic friend and I don't want you to feel any pain, emotional or otherwise.
Your friend,
Danni

Sorry to hear about yourdad.

I know this isn't really an appropriate time to quote Trek, but.......

"He's really not dead........as long as you remember him."

That was how McCoy consoled Kirk in ST2. I think the same is true for everyone.

I am sorry to hear this Galadriel...I will always be free to talk whenever you would like. Just PM me and I'll be there for ya, and remember, There's holes in the floor of heaven....and your dad is watching down.

ah, Lonestar and I'm already there.....that is one of my most favorite songs along with the other one I posted somewhere called There's holes in the floor of Heaven by Steve Wariner or something like that.

I cant say that I know how you feel, and I cant say that everything is ok. I can say that I'm sorry, and I am here for you. I can only imaging the loss you feel. I do know your fears though. 4 times now, we have rushed my dad to the hospital. I remember thinking God, dont let my dad die. I'm a daddy's girl, and I dont know how I would deal with your situation. Just remember all of the happy times with him. Remember how it felt to be in his arms. I know that if he's anything like my dad, you'll never be alone. I am always here to talk. Take care, love J
