Hey, all. I’ve been at a loss for words regarding your wonderful messages on this. ‘been thinking of the best way to respond over the last month. But, I still can’t find the right words to let you all know how much I appreciate your support and kindness to me. So, I thought I’ll just write this down as simply and as best as I can.

Again, thank you all so much. You are such a blessing to me. Take care.

Dearest Shai, Im so sorry about you loving father I know he knows you loved him very much and it is hard to have not talked to him before he went on to be with our Heavenly father but God know s all things and there is a reason for every thing I know you father would not have wanted you to be sad maybe thats why you were not able to get a call into him on his last BD dont dispair he know everything now so just remember him as you would no one ever wants to be forgotten and he will still feel loved and he knows what you are feeling the pain never really goes away but lessens as the years go on but always remember him for you childrens sake . I wish you much love and many blessings I pray your heart will not hurt as much, take the time to morn but know life goes on and so does your father and so will we some day Love to you , Cheyenne Henderson Nv My best friend is from the Philipines and my fam is Auzzie from Brisbane .

’tis a lovely tribute, Shai. I can’t say I know what you are going through but know that we are thinking of you in this difficult time. As my brother always tells me when difficult situations arise ‘This too shall pass’. I am sure the heartache, the pain will never go away but in time, hopefully it won’t hurt as much thinking about your Dad.

Shai, a lovely tribute and remembering the good times is the only way to get through I’m guessing. Hopefully it does get easier with time.

Oof. This got me teary eyed. I’m missing my Papa too. Especially when I touch the piano keys.

How sweet of you to remember him in special ways.

Easy but not exactly the way we’d expect it. I guess in time we can think of him without the raw pain, just enjoy the happy (and sometimes hilarious) memories. Remember his laugh, his beautiful smile.

Planning to make a date with him later this week. For all of us.

Much empathy for your loss. You’re so lucky to have wonderful memories of your father that will last your lifetime – he’s now a guardian angel looking out for you.

Shai,

I’m so sorry for your loss but I’m so happy that you’ve taken this week to remember and honor your father. I absolutely love that picture and I got tears in my eyes reading about your son waving at the sky during dinner.

You are so strong and I hope that your family and wonderful memories will bring you comfort during this time.

Hugs!
Jeanne
