My deepest sympathies to you and your family. I’m very sorry for your loss, Katy.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Holding your family in love during this hard time.
My condolences to you and your family at this time. My dad passed in 1976 (I was 12), one of my sisters in 2007 (I was 43), and my mom in 2010 (I was 46). No matter how young or old you are, it isn’t easy. I’ve thought about my dad more this year as I am now the age he was when he passed (61). The years go ny anf, even years later, something can occur that triggers a memory that can either make you feel good, or sad. With my dad, I didn’t really experience the “bad” feelings until I got married and he wasn’t there to walk me down the aisle. My sister that was married got married at the JP and our parents weren’t even invited. Then, again, when I gave birth to my daughter – my parents’ only biological grandchild.
Fortunately, the good memories, the funny memories, outweigh the bad. Hold on to those. People say it gets better with time…it doesn’t, at least in my experience.
Take all the time you need to grieve…we’ll still be here, patiently waiting, until you return.
With deepest sympathy…
My heart goes out to you and your family.
I am so sorry for your loss.
My sincere sympathy! Prayers for comfort! You’ve sure had lots to deal with if late. Hugs ❤️
Katy, praying for you and your family. Cherish the memories you have of your father.

Katy, may his memory be eternal. How blessed he was to have you in his life.
Prayers that your precious memories outnumber your moments of sorrow. What a gift your friends and family have in the video. You can still see him, hear his voice, and listen to his thoughts. Your father really is a legend, and passes on an incredíble legacy. God bless during this time of grief and healing. <3

Katy, I add my sympathy for you and your family to everyone else’s. You’ve often mentioned over the years what a special man your father was, and I know what a hole his passing must have left in your life. May his memory be for a blessing, always. And take as much time away from the blog as you need to. We all understand, I’m sure.
