Tell them you love them everyday

[eacrouch]

Hi, Just a word of advice. Tell your loved ones you care everyday. My father passed yesterday very suddenly at 73 yrs of age. He has lived with my hubby and DD and I for the last 9 years. He will be sorely missed. But my last words before I left the hospital yesterday morning, were I love you. So you can never say it too often. Erin

It is always sad to loose a loved one, hopefully he had a happy life.

My condolances Erin, it's never easy to lose a parent or family member.

And your right. I think the passing is made much easier if they go and we're not left with feeling that we should have been there more often, said more than we did etc. My mother died 2 weeks after her birthday. She came to me for her birthday lunch and had a wonderful day, ate well, enjoyed a glass of wine, played with my new kitten, told my father she wasn't ready to go home yet and stayed a bit longer. She had to be helped into my house and her trousers were on back-to-front but who cared. I told her I loved her and she gave me a squeeze and told me she love me. She had a relapse a few days later, went into hospital and died. The grief was tempered by the fact that her time had come, she had had a good day on her birthday and nothing had been left unsaid.

Take care,
Ronnie

So, sorry for your loss. And I totally agree.

Last June 23 we abruptly lost my favorite Uncle. The night before I'd been there and the last thing I did was kiss him on the top of the head, and say good bye. But I'd spent the last few years doing trips and Saturday outings with him.

And April 27th, the tornadoes took another Uncle right next door to previous Uncle. 3 days earlier I had visited and taken him an Easter basket with the non-sugar chocolates that he could eat. I'm so glad I took the time to stop and visit.

So, love on the ones you have, you never know when it's the last time.

I'm sorry for the loss of your father, and glad that you will always know that he knew you loved him. There's nothing more important than love.

I'm very sorry for the loss of your father. You are so right in stating that every minute is precious and to not forget to tell people you love them. You never know when its their (or your) time. :hug:

I am so sorry for your loss. Lost my mother last month & so I know what a painful thing it is. You're so right--we all need to let our loved ones know every day how precious they are to us.

I am very sorry for your loss. You are absolutely correct. I try to tell my loved ones everyday how much I love them. I don't ever want to think that they didn't know.

My wife and I probably say I Love You 50 times a day. Every time I speak to the kids , I tell them I Love them.
My wife's father died when she was young and she never got to say good bye.

[Marianne]

My condolences. You never get over needing a father and a mother, no matter how old you get. Be happy he knew you loved him, and feel good that you had that last good day with him.
