A very sad day

Today has been the saddest day of my life as my lovely dad passed away. He was 91 years old and died unexpectedly in hospital. He was taken into hospital on Friday after a fall, resulting in a broken hip. Over the weekend his health deteriorated  so much that he was unable to have the operation to repair his hip.

 Not only was he my dad, but my best friend and the most kindest man you could ever wish to meet. He never complained and was always there for me when i needed a shoulder to cry on.
God Bless you dad . Love you lots and lots xxxxxxxxx

  2. I can not begin to imagine the sadness that you are feeling right now and nor do I want to claim that I know what you are going through as I too have lost a very dear and close family member, as grief is very personal. All I can do is make sure that my family and I send you all our comforting thoughts and warm blessings to help you through your terrible loss. May you always remember the good times with your dad and may you take some comfort in knowing that he has moved onto another place but will watch over you and be there in your heart alway
