Goodbye Dad!
Life is a circle and my dad has completed his own. He passed away from this realm this morning, free from pain at last.
I appreciate every one who has prayed for me and my family at this difficult time. I would be taking a month off, to prepare for his burial. Thank you so much, I am grateful for your love, God bless you all.
Much love,
Seyi David
S. S. David

You don’t know me but your words touched me about your dad’s passing. A short bit of words written by myself in the plot synopsis of my written novel……………..,
with continuous reminders that this is only a temporary stop in our spiritual lives, experienced within the human realm.

this difficult time
Thanks Geo. I’m grateful.
I am grateful that he is no longer in pain, but it is so hard going through this… even though he has passed onto everlasting life! Prayers continued for you and those he left behind. I know when I have had a loved one pass on, I try to write down as many happy memories and capture those in my journal so when I am missing them, the details fill my heart. Blessings and love to you, Mary
It’s so hard Mary but the hope of seeing him again on heaven’s shores gives me peace. The memories has brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart at the same time. I’m so grateful for your kind comment.
I am praying for you sweet friend! Rejoicing with you through the good times and sending you a virtual hug in times of sorrow.
I’m grateful my friend. That means a lot to me.
Take the time you need to embrace the grief and remember that God’s loving arms are wrapped right around you. Let me know if I can do anything!
Thanks Mary. That knowledge keeps me going, God is ever faithful. I’ll give you a shout if I do need anything. Thank you so much.
🙂
Oh goodness. So sorry for your lost. I hope his memories bring you comfort.
It does. Thanks so much for your kind comment.
I pray that God comforts you and your family as you say good bye to your father.
Amen. Thank you Kim.
I will be praying for you as you mourn this loss in your life. There is no “right” way to grieve . . .so be gentle with yourself and take the time that you need.
I will. Thank you so much my friend.
*hugs*
Thanks.
My prayers continue during this difficult period for you and your family.
Thanks Eric. I appreciate that.
Heartfelt condolences – we should perhaps not focus on the losing when we lose someone we like very much – but focus on all that we were lucky enough to experience together – because the memories all the good experiences them, we still have in our thoughts and we will keep them forever – and all these memories are a gift… 🙂
Best wishes my friend… 🙂
Thanks Drake. I get your point. The memories has been flooding in, and they’ve helped. Though I can’t seem to stop the tears…
Father and daughter relationships are often very special and I am sorry for your loss. My Dad has been gone thirty-four years and I still feel his strength and support, as he always has my back. I hope you are comforted by knowing he is in a better place. God bless.
My deepest condolences, Sandra. May God himself console you during this trying times. 🙂
Thanks my friend. I feel your prayers.
Mi Más Sentido Pésame Seyi….

You are in my prayers. This will be a time of grieving but also a time for remembering. He will always be in your heart. Hugs

I agree. Thanks so much my friend.

Many hugs and prayers for you my friend, mail me if you need too.
Thanks so much Ste J. I’m grateful for your kindness. I’ll mail you if I need to.
The first time I ever visited your blog, you had a wonderful story about your dad and mom. I have never forgotten that post and how it encouraged me that day. I am so sorry for your loss. I know the pain of losing a parent, and I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
I appreciate your kind comment Anita. Thank you so much, your prayers and kindness means a lot to me.
I’m sorry Seyi. My thoughts are with you and your family at this time. Know that he is now at peace though. I know that does not help with the pain of the loss, but he is young and agile again now. Hugs to you my friend.
Thanks so much Al. I know he’s at peace now and all pains are gone. I’m so grateful for your kindness my friend.
You’re welcome. You have my email, so email or text if you need to talk. I know it’s going to be a difficult time for you, your friends are here for you.
Thanks Al. I’ll do so. The tears are gone now, I’m just tired. But I’ve gotten used to the fact that he’s gone. I’ll mail you if I want to unburden my heart, and I do appreciate that very much Al!
You’re welcome to. He’s young and agile and spritely again now.
I send you many prayers and hugs, dear friend. You take time with your family, as much time as you need. Sending loving thoughts your way.
I’m so grateful for your kind words Christy. It means a lot to me. Thank you so much.
So sorry about your dad. Prayers for you
Thank you so much, I appreciate your kind words.
So sorry to hear about your loss. Praying the peace that passes all understanding over your heart and mind. Hugs to you!
Thanks Makeda, I appreciate that very much.
“No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
-Steve Jobs
I offer my condolences to you and your family in this time of grief….Maybe you be filled with God’s grace and peace…. Your Dad has passed to a better world… 🙂
Your comment evoke deep feelings within me, feelings of our mortality; but at the same time, it made me realise the majestic and powerful God that I serve. My dad is safe, and at peace. He lived his life for others, he gave love willingly and served without expecting anything in return. I know I would see him again, not in this realm, in a better one.
I sincerely appreciate your kind comment and visit. Thank you so much my friend. God bless you!
Sorry to read of your father’s passing. See you when you get back.
Thanks my friend. I’ll be back soon.
I hope you’re alright Seyi. God be with you.
Christy.
Thanks Christy. I’m holding on.
I like that. This pain would pass away, and you would be left with wonderful memories.
God bless you Seyi.
Thank you Christy. I totally appreciate your kind words.
🙂 🙂
Pain and tears and suffering is over. I pray for your family’s comfort
I appreciate it Dannie. I really do.
Bless you ❤
Thanks.
I’m so sorry to hear about your dad’s passing. I know we must all go through this passage from ‘earthly’ life into eternity. But it’s never easy to let one go. God bless you and your family as you grieve your loss. And may He strengthen you and give you hope for the future.
🙂
Thank you so much, I appreciate your love and kindness. It’s not easy, even though I know he’s safe from harm and enjoying eternal life, my sense of loss still runs deep.
But all the same, God is good, the same yesterday, today and forever!
Amen. After the rain, comes the sun.
May God richly bless you.
🙂
Hey, much love to you and yours during this transition.
Thank you my friend. I’m grateful for your kindness.
I am very sorry for you loss. May your Dad’s memory bring a smile to your face, always. Thinking of you.
