OT: I'm sitting next to my father...

[Cees Donker]

Who soon will go on his last journey. His heart still won't give up while the rest has.
He has been a wonderful father and I love him so much. I'm gonna miss him...

My condolences Cees, I stood that watch six years ago myself, so I know what you are feeling. At least you dad, like mine, was with family so when he takes his leave he'll know he's loved.

My thoughts are with you Cees. Very nice comments above appreciated as well.

My 9 siblings, other family and friends, were on this watch with my Dad 20 years ago last month. It is never easy but certainly a sobering part of the life cycle we all will experience.

May peace and happiness follow you and the family as you each carry his memory close in your hearts and minds.

My watch with my father was 18 months ago, I share your grief Cees. God bless you and your family in this terrible time.

 

[rdaniell]

Cees, count me as another Outhouse brother who will be keeping your father, you, and all your family in my intercessory prayers. Both my parents died back in 1993.

Hoi Cees sterkte, het is het laaste wat je nog voor je vader kan doen en geloof mij je zult nog vaak aan dit moment terug denken.

Veertien jaar geleden zat ik naast mijn vader, tijdens wat zijn laatste nacht op aarde bleek te worden. Zelfs na al die tijd denk ik nog vaak "dat zou mijn vader moeten zien" of dat zou ik graag met mijn vader over hebben gehad".

Na het verdriet van het verlies komt het warme gevoel van alles wat je met elkaar hebt gedeeld.

Sterkte,
Huub

Sorry to hear of this Cees.
I went through this with my dad 4 years ago.
Someone told me, "he is in a better place now"
That helped a lot.
Take care.

Dag Cees,

Ook ik heb dit al meegemaakt, en Huub weet het goed te zeggen.
Zo is 't precies. Veel sterkte gewenst,

Rob

Cees,

It was 14 months ago I held a similar vigil with my father... I know it's a tough time, but you can rest assured he will go to a better rest than he could ever have here. You have my condolences.

Stay strong Cees. I lost my father on Armistice day 2009; an easy date to remember. He was a good man and a good example and when I think about him it's almost as if he were still with us. I hope you will be able to do the same.

 

[Cees Donker]

Thanks for all the warm words and wishes.

Cees

 

[CybrSlydr]

My sympathies, Cees.

 

[mrogers]

My deepest sympathy Cees.
