My dad was a huge Browns fan, a life-long coach, and teacher. He had my brother and I on his teams. He passed July 3, and we buried him this past Saturday. Family is coping "well" but that is a relative term.
If you have time and are so inclined, send one for dad, for mom, our family. We would all appreciate a comforting thought and spiritual support today.
Thanks.

It's been slightly over 20 years since I lost my dad. But the remembrance of those feelings still run fresh in my mind.
Prayers to you and your entire family. I know it's hard to see right now, but as time passes, the memories won't be of the end, but of the life he lived and the memories of the things you did together.
My dad suffered a massive stroke and was bed ridden for some time before he passed. A hard working, proud man relegated to a shadow of his former self.
But as time passed, the memories of the end faded and it was his life and the good times we shared that came to the forefront of my mind.
It's hard to picture at the moment, but as time goes on, when you think of him it won't be the sadness of the end you think of. It will be the wonderful times you shard throughout your life.

... as time goes on, when you think of him it won't be the sadness of the end you think of. It will be the wonderful times you shard throughout your life. As someone who has lost both Father and Mother, and a younger sister, I can attest to these wise words from Pit. May your wonderful memories be strong...

1) Everyone dies,
2) When we do, all that’s left on earth are the memories the living have of us,
3) It sure sounds like your dad can be happy with 2) above.

I pray that God's grace, peace, and love will be with you and your family. May He ease the pain in your hearts, and quickly place remembering the good times with your dad above the pain you are feeling now.
