Dear Dad: Saturdays make me so sad and this is the 4th one since you died. I guess Saturdays just will never quite be the same again. That Saturday sure was sad especially for those of us who were at the hospital. I\'m going to design a little flower garden for your grave site once Kay gives me the info on the allowed dimensions and location in reference to your headstone. I don\'t know if the headstone has been placed

Somehow there are no words to say what I would like to say! I wish I could help your children with the emptiness they feel, but I cannot. You see, I know it so well. If you can, let all the others comfort you and know that we will all be together again someday. Till we meet again... Love Cathy

Dear Rita: Well so much for closure! It all really sucks. I don\'t know if I was lucky or not but I did spend more time with Dad Friday night - his last night- than anyone else. It was a quiet time because he was uncomfortable and trying to rest. Friday and Saturday were very difficult and if I let myself really think about it I get overwhelmed with just how difficult it was especially when we saw him after
Dear Rita: Well so much for closure! It all really sucks. I don\'t know if I was lucky or not but I did spend more time with Dad Friday night - his last night- than anyone else. It was a quiet time because he was uncomfortable and trying to rest. Friday and Saturday were very difficult and if I let myself really think about it I get overwhelmed with just how difficult it was especially when we saw him after the surgery. I am still surprised by it all. All of a sudden last night I said oh my god my Dad died three weeks ago today and started crying. We all held it together didn\'t we? I barely remember seeing anyone and yet everyone was there and you traveled so far. I haven\'t seen Mom cry yet but she looks very sad. No, no more secrets from Dad. I\'ll tell you this though society/life doesn\'t give anyone the time to mourn. It comes at you at times in waves. Not all at once thank god but at weird times all of a sudden you feel it. I hope next week will be better for all of us. Love you. Love you Dad. Miss you! Nina

Dear Dad, Here I am at work, on Sunday, as usual. It\'s been a month now, and I think the reality of it is just coming to me. I guess I\'ve been in some kind of strange disbelief, as now I cry more about it. Yes, especially saturdays. We did hold it together at the funeral. When I sat in your chair I had a rush of memory of the day you bought the chair. We went to the furniture
Dear Dad, Here I am at work, on Sunday, as usual. It\'s been a month now, and I think the reality of it is just coming to me. I guess I\'ve been in some kind of strange disbelief, as now I cry more about it. Yes, especially saturdays. We did hold it together at the funeral. When I sat in your chair I had a rush of memory of the day you bought the chair. We went to the furniture stores and you picked the one you were comfortable in and then we waited for the delivery truck and set it up. I hadn\'t even remembered it. I don\'t know who else was there, maybe Bob, can\'t remember. miss you love and hugs, Janet

Rita, I think I know what you mean. Everything is different - will never be the same. The world is different, we are different.
