Prayers sent, remember the ones left behind are the only ones who suffer. I lost my dad several years ago and I miss him dearly as you will. But they are both in a better place.
Great to read that he's gone on to be with the Lord. For me it's always easier to know the person you lose is a Christian. He's smiling down on you and your mother right now.
sorry to hear of your loss. My father passed away 3 years ago and my 80 year old mother is still mourning his loss. I take her to the cemetary any time she wants to go. It seems important to her and I am willing to do so. Remember, that each carries their grief in their own way. I have a sister that my mother resides with that doesn't understand her need to go to the cemetary. But they were together for 54 years and it is hard on her, even now.
