[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 414173, member: 805"] Steely, It really saddens me to hear you say that you are loosing pieces of your soul. I know that it is very painful to watch a loved one deteriorate in front of your eyes. You, and they, know what the end of the suffering will bring. It is usually the sufferer who accepts reality first. Those of us left behind experience the sorrow. We have grief because we have love. If we didn't experience the joy, thrill, bliss, delight, ecstasy, passion, completeness, and exhilaration of love, then I personally believe our souls really would be empty. With love there is also struggle, exasperation, conflict, trial, and contest. But at the forefront of the negative is grief. But it is the human condition. Our time here is but temporarily. If the older ones didn't pass, there wouldn't be room for younger ones to experience the thrills of life. It is our journey to make room so others can live the joy. I would not live forever if it meant my children would not experience life. I feel very, very strongly that those who pass know how we feel. Your father knows you love him. That you feel you missed out on some of what others found in your father is but a wish in fruitility. Embrace the memory you have, hold it close to your heart. You will never loose the image and love you carry for your dad. Just as you will never loose the image and love you carry for your sister. We don't have all the answers. One of the hardest things in life is to accept that it is ok those answers are not reachable - that we can live our life without always knowing why. It is like a piece of beautiful needlepoint. If you look at it from underneath, it is just mishmash of jagged thread and color, but when you view it from the top, it is a lovely, clear picture. I know that I am often looking from underneath but I garner comfort in knowing that something larger than me is looking down through the top and sees the plan. Hugs, Sharon [/QUOTE]
