He was 66 also. I went to the grave yard to put his favorite flower, red roses, on it. It was really hard, and I wept for a long time on my husband’s shoulder.
I was riding my SeaDoo Saturday, though, and i could feel his presence as I rode! I had never felt that before when he wa living

Your Dad sounds like an awesome person. I know it will be very difficult for you this Sunday. You were so blessed to have a Dad who was so involved in your life and that you were so close to. May the Lord comfort you and may you feel his presence on Sunday.

My wonderful daddy passed in November, 2007. I still miss him so much, and think of him every day. He was such a good Christian man, wonderful husband and father. Keeping your family in my prayers as you go thru your first Father’s Day without your dad.

I still have my dad and I am a true daddy’s girl, so I can’t imagine how you feel. I’m sending positive thoughts your way.

Although I personally never met your Dad, I feel as I’ve probably known him for many years from the many e-mail messages that your Mother and I have shared. I went through many months of his illness and remembered him daily in my prayers….as well as your entire family.
I am quickly approaching 68 years young and have five children, all grown, of our own. We still do many things together as a family and I feel certain that when I leave this old world that my four daughters will probably miss me as you do your Dad. He was a wonderful man!
I lost my Dad 10 years ago at the age of 80. He, too was a wonderful person…although he had been a victem of Alzheimer’s disease for the previous 5-6 years. I still think of him often and still continue to miss the great things in life that we shared.
My best advice to you would be 1) Trust in God 2) Savor all of those many good memories of your Dad 3) Continue to go forward with your life and leave good memories for your family to one day be able to look back as they remember the good times that they shared with you.
4) Finally, support your Mother and Sister as they, too, share in the loss of your Dad.

Just remember this, no Dad loved their family as much and really got all that love in return as Adrain did. You and your family should be very proud and try to remember the really good times you had together. We knew your Mom and Dad before you were born and they both just wanted a good family live for their children and they both got their wishes. Of course our parents have passed but, it really helps to be strong and remember the wonderful family life you had and continue to have. Sandy will need your suport and I know it will be a big help. God bless you.

I’ve known your parents for a long time. My mother was Mama Steen to you and Ashley. I saw the love and pride your Daddy had in you and your sister when he dropped you at Mother’s house. I remember Mother saying that Adrian is really crazy about those girls.

I lost my Daddy in 1993 and Mother in 2002. I think of them everyday and miss them so much, but I have my memories of wonderful, loving parents.

You will always have those precious memories, too. Oh what fun it is to share those memories with our children. I’m sure your daughter loves to hear the stories about her grandfather.

Take care Christy!
Vickie
