Big hugs backatcha.<br><br>Steven, thank you for sharing about your dad. Thank you for being a great brother. Big kiss.<br><br>Anonymous, I don't know if the pain will ever go away. Dad has been gone 9 years nearly, and I miss him horribly sometimes. Thankfully, I don't feel like my chest is caving in everyday anymore, but some days are very emotional. I think there will be days in the future like wedding days when he will be prominent in our thoughts. He's their dad, and I think that is how it should be. :-) But, yes, days are easier.

I admire how, even through the pain, your love for him is obvious.<br><br>The way you describe him cheering for teams reminds me of my dad. He also says "Did you see that?!" All the time. In fact, when our extended family gets together for the Rose Bowl, we call it WRWF (Watch Ron Watch Football).<br><br>I know, this is about Rob, not my dad...but you reminded me of that.<br><br>I love you, my sister, and I'm praying for you.StevenSaukehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00293614066612212183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383116321037210850.post-8370099885633591082011-03-21T02:34:05.685-05:002011-03-21T02:34:05.685-05:00Oh,Jerri, Even though he wouldn't have been WI...Oh,Jerri, Even though he wouldn't have been WITH you if he hadn't died, you were not adjusted to physically losing a life partner simply by his moving out and wanting a divorce. That is something to grieve greatly for and in many ways, it was like a death itself. Then when you had just been with him and the visit was upbeat only to hear that he died shortly after that, that was like another death. You are entitled to grieve all you want to. God gave us tears for a reason. They are like a pressure valve that keep us from just exploding and they are so precious to Him that He keeps them in a bottle. Please know that you are being covered in prayer and love by so many who love you. You are walking through the fire, sweetie, and believe me, I have walked that path. It is HARD. It is HEARTBREAKING. But He is ENOUGH! Special prayers going up for you, my dear friend. We haven't been friends that long but God sends people into each others' lives when He chooses. I truly do understand what you are going through. There are no words but prayer and great love were the most helpful to me. God bless you, Jerri!<br>Karen KingKaren B.

It is good that you are remembering the good in him before the children and that you're not trying to "be Rob" to them. Their loss is profound and I think you're a pretty great mom, just being you is enough for them. God's grace will cover the rest. I love you and I am praying for you, Anna and Robert. Daniel still has the candle you made for him from Fiddler on the Roof. I see it regularly and so I think of you often. Wish I could hug you! Love you, Rachel SuttonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
