In reply to 21 years...Definitely a trigger for some be carefu, posted by Broken on February 15, 2005, at 12:39:49
I am covered in goose flesh. My heart is beating rapidly (please forgive that), I am shivering, and I am crying.
Broken, you have written this in the most absolutely beautiful way. Your hurt and pain are etched in every line.
I lost my father in November last year. I did not know he was ill until he went into ICU. A day later he died. I was with him as I watched each organ fail, and I was with him when he took his last jagged breath. I will never ever, ever forget that. I will never, ever forget talking to him, touching him and loving him after he was dead. Yes, I do know. He was sleeping.
That is all I will say about me. I just wanted to mention it so that you would know how much I understand. More than just understanding though, I feel you are very courageous to write about it. And I feel you have every right to be grieving. Time makes no difference.
Tonight, when I close my eyes to say goodnight to my Dad, I will send your Dad a thought too. Later, I will close my eyes again and send you and your son a comforting thought.
Your Dad is surely very, very proud of you. He has every right to be.
Thank you for sharing what is so difficult and painful to share.
Sabrina
