Please keep Doug and his family in your prayers. His father passed away today and he was able to spend his last hours with him. This is Doug's first loss....and the first is always the hardest...none are easy.
He is in Pensacola and torn between staying for his mother and coming home for Christmas tomorrow morning. The weather is so bad and the drain he's been under makes me NOT want him to drive home tonight.
What a strange Holiday season this has been. Thank you for your comforting words and kindness.:wub: I have copied the poem that was sent to IBD for my own family and friends and plan to read it on Tuesday or Wednesday. I pray God gives me the strength.
Wishing you a wonderful day tomorrow!!!! Nothing need keep us down.
Kathy

Smiling JOeSoWal Expert31,643 postsJoined View profileMessageSoWal ExpertWow! It seems like we are losing many people in our lives lately. Let's remember that this can also be a time to come together and celebrate the beautiful, yet fragile, lives of our loved ones who are no longer walking on the Earth beside side us. Blessings to you and your family, Doug.

PaulaBeach FanaticMichigan but someday in SoWal as well3,747 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach FanaticI'm sorry to hear about Doug's loss (and his family's loss). It must have been special (as well as so sad) to spend those final hours with his father. Though I don't know Doug personally, it feels like we're all neighbors on SoWal.com and anyone's loss is in some way the community's loss. My thoughts and prayers are with Doug and his family.
