For those who don't know yet, my DADDY has left this world and has gone to be taught the gospel in the next life. I was my DADDY'S BABY and I knew, as many of you did, that I was so very important to him. He always made me feel loved by his ever faithful attendance here on my blog. I will miss his silly weather updates and and loving comments. I will miss his sweet words of support and his odd views of government schemes. I only hope he knew how much he made me sparkle and how much he will be missed. I LOVE YOU MY DADDY ;)

MY DADDY, I MISS YOU
For those who don't know yet, my DADDY has left this world and has gone to be taught the gospel in the next life.

Oh Joyce. So sorry to hear that. How are you doing? Its not fun. Been there. 9 years ago. Was it sudden or were you expecting it. I liked reading all his messages to you. He was a great man. Let me know if I can do anything for you.
My prayers are with you my friend. Love you!
I am so sorry Joyce! I am grateful you had a good relationship with him. You should make sure you print out all of his comments on your blog and keep them for your children and generations to come. It will be a great asset to you to have something in writing from him to you. He loves you deeply you can tell. He will always live on in your heart and his spirit will be there to continue to help bless your life. My prayers are with you in this hard time.
Thank you for your kind words and thoughtfulness, guys. I am doing well except when I have to explain. Getting on here is a little hard for me, because this was practically our only form of communication.
My DADDY called me sometime near the middle of January and said that he had just got home from the hospital and they told him he had lesions on his lungs, liver, and pancreas. He was upbeat and positive until I broke down but he reassured me that he wouldn't know what kind of cancer it was until he had seen a specialist and not to panic. He saw the specialist on the 29th and we last spoke on on the 30th when he said that they told him there was nothing they could do for him, but make him more comfortable.He told me they told me he could go tomorrow, in a week, or in a year, but I knew it would be sooner than later. The next night, he passed away, February 1, 2009.
It makes me sad to know that he will be waiting for a year to be baptized and have his temple work done for him. He was regularly attending a church that his wife was recently baptized in. He told me he felt like the LDS church had helped me and my brother to be the great people that we are. He said that he was most proud of us and that if he had to choose a church to be a member of, ours would be the one. It is sad that the ways of this life kept him from joining before he could leave this life. That comment reassures me that he will except the gospel in the place where he is now and that he will be a part of our eternal family. This is a great comfort. I know that Heavenly Father loves him, as much as he loves me. Because of "The True and Everlasting Gospel he can still, even after death, be given the rights of the Kingdom of God. No other faith can promise this. I told him a while back that if he didn't choose to be baptized in this life, that we(His children) would surely do it for him when he was gone. He was grateful then, and will be even more in a year, when we can fallow through ;)
Angela (McCoy)? Is that you? WOW! thank you for the idea to print out the comments he left on my blog, now that is smart thinking ;)
Karen Honey, I am sorry for what you must have gone through 9 years ago. I really loved your DAD. He was a warmhearted man in the truest form.
It is nice to hear someone else say nice things about MY DADDY, because my family (brothers and sisters) didn't get to see this part of him. I was the special one, and I think in someway it made them mad to hear how close we were. My (Half)brother who lived on his property and saw him often, said some of the sweetest words to me in front of Amber and Paul. He said that DAD was most proud of me and that he was always talking about me, even when he knew he was dieing he expressed his great love for me.
Joyce,
I got your message in one of my older posts. No, I haven't received the scentsy candles yet and the money still hasn't been taken out of my bank account but thanks for asking. I'll just be your guinnea pig for starting up your business I guess. Good luck!
