Tuesday my dad passed away.

Many of you know over the past number of years my dad has been dealing with serious health issues including a number of hospitalizations.  The past four weeks has been especially eventful.  His death came at the end of an intense month of worry and pain. The last three years have been difficult and rewarding, as I witnessed my dad's sanctification through his trials. He softened. He learned patience. He turned to the needful and important.

I am so sorry, Paul! My sympathy and condolence to you and your family!

May you find peace and sweet memories at this difficult time and days ahead! Take comfort to know that your father is free from the toil and suffering! He has fight a valiant battle and now in the loving arms of the Father and loved ones who had gone forth before him!

Keeping you and yours in my thoughts and prayers!

I'm sorry Paul, I know he meant a lot to you.

From Andy on Fri, Sep 16, 2011 at 13:26:27 from 159.212.71.199

I'm sorry to hear this, Paul. I have really admired you for the way that you have taken care of him through his health issues. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Sorry about your Father Paul. It's very hard to lose a parent and I hope and pray for the best for you and your family.

I am sorry for your loss, Paul. My thoughts and prayers (as well as Ry's) are with you and your family.

Thank you for being such a wonderful example of kindness and love.

God Bless you and yours during this trying time!

My sympathies to you Paul! I wish I had some wonderful words of wisdom, but at a time like this there are few, if any, that express the right sentiments.

As I watched my father pass, many experiences touched me and changed my life. It is absolutely amazing, terrifying and spiritual. I'm glad you can see so much of what he went through as a positive. Always remember him and he will never be far from you, but I think you already know this.

My prayers, love and sympathy go to you and your family at this time.

My best friend passed away a month ago and I completely agree with Rachel.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss, I have been very inspired by the way to have been so kind to your father. You are a great man and a great son.

From MarcE on Thu, Sep 22, 2011 at 10:22:42 from 129.188.33.26

I'm so sorry for your loss, Paul. I'm sure your dad was a great inspiration to you throughout your life, and will live on through you.

So sorry for your loss Paul. You have my sympathy. My father passed quickly and unexpectedly, which meant little suffering but no goodbyes. There is no easy way to loose your father.

From JohnnyV on Fri, Sep 23, 2011 at 15:19:11 from 204.124.13.151

Paul,

I am sorry for your loss. I know what a great man your father was. I know you will miss him, but hope that you will always remember the things he stood for and taught you.

Hope you are doing okay Paul.

It would be great to see you back here whenever you are ready. I didn't post to your blog much but I often peeked in to see what nutty thing you would have up.

Kind of feels like something is missing with out you.

Sorry to hear about your loss Paul. You are a good man and I am sure he was as well.
