Susan. I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. I always look for blessings that come to us from such a loss, as you have found with your family. I lost my son in January and our loss has drawn all the rest of the family close together.My one son who has his own family had distanced himself. Now he has become so close to the rest of us we feel we have gained another son. So keep your spirits up and God bless and keep you and yours. Lynda x

Lynda and all those who have lost a child. I can't even begin to imagine what that would be like and I hope that I never do. Losing a parent is heartbreaking but is in the natural course of life. We aren't meant to outlive our children. Love to you. Susan

Susan, my sympathies on the loss of your Dad, and what a lovely legacy from him, that warmth and closeness that help you all through this difficult time. Part of your Dad is in you and your children, who are now showing you that you did a good job in bringing them up so that they are not ashamed or afraid to show their feelings. You should feel proud to be their Mum and to be your father's daughter. Liz

Thank you, Liz, that's a lovely thing to say. Yes, I am proud of my children and I am proud to be my father's daughter. Susan xx
