Our fellow blogger Heather, lost her father unexpectedly two weeks ago and she’s been expressing herself through her blog. Her posts are heartbreaking yet beautifully written.
Today marks 2 weeks since my dad passed. Sometimes I think the word “died” and it makes it that much worse, so I tell people my dad has passed. He has passed from this world to the next, to what ever we have to look forward too once our earthly bodies can no longer hold us down.

Best wishes, Pete.

I agree. I lost my mom a year ago. I knew it was coming but it was still hard. Sometimes it still is.
