I just received word that Betty's dad has passed on today to his final reward. In her "E-Obituary" for him Betty mentions "Any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a Daddy" - and although I have never met either of them I'll say he must have been a very special daddy indeed to have raised such a special daughter.

My prayers are with you, Betty!
 
Dear Betty,

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad passing. He did wage that tremendous fight but he's at peace now and I know he'll be by your side. My heart is heavy for you.
 
Dearest Betty,

It does take someone special to be a "Daddy", but it also takes a special person to be the Daughter that you were to your Daddy!

You were both blessed to have had each other. May the memories that you've created be always fresh in your mind and heart.

God Bless You,
Sherry
 
I'm so sorry for your loss. My Daddy passed away six years ago and I know how the pain feels. You and yours are in my prayers.
 
I'm sorry for your loss Betty. I know you have been spending a lot of time caring for your dad, so I hope you get some well deserved rest and care for yourself real soon.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, Betty. You have done an amazing job caring for him--I hope you find some peace. You will be in my prayers.
 
Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers.

Actually, Daddy's birthday was/is Christmas Day. I always called him first thing on Christmas Morning to wish him a happy birthday. "Others" are celebrating his birthday this time...

This has been the most difficult 6 weeks of my life, but I have done everything that I thought was the right thing to do, so I have no regrets.

He is at peace, and I am too, now.

(I've decided that I will speak at the funeral. I'll post my thoughts on my blog after Tuesday.)

Love ya'll.
 
Dearest Betty, I am very sorry to hear of your loss.

May you find comfort and peace from the support of all the friends and loved ones that surround you in a time like this.
 
Betty,
My neat uncle is hanging out with your dad comparing notes on their lung cancers and bragging (hopefully) about the families they left behind. I wonder if they will discover the 'picture framing connection?'

It's a rotten thing to have watched someone go through that, but not nearly as hard as it must have been for them.

I am glad your Daddy is at peace. Truly, If I were him, I would've wanted to spend my birthday in Heaven, too.

My heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family. May you celebrate his life for many years to come.

Edie
 
Betty, you have my heartfelt condolences. Your dad, thats a different story, he has completed his last great adventure on this earth, and hopefully, is on his way to even greater ones. Give him the best sendoff you can.

John
 
Betty, my sympathies to you and your family.

My closest grandparent, my Mamaw, died of lung cancer, and as Edie said, it is awful to watch, and must be awful to live.

Her birthday was Christmas Day, too. It has always made Christmas more special, somehow, even more so after her passing.

God bless, Betty. Looking forward to reading your blog..
