Funny thing though that happened before he went to the hospital. Mom told me she woke up one night by my dad sitting on his bedside talking to someone... In English  

Thing is my dad doesn't speak any English other than a few random words. Mom recalls him saying "how are you doing?" and I immediately thought he was talking to JR. My dad wouldn't say "how are you doing", but JR would. He always asked my dad how he was doing.

I feel you..

I lost my mum 2 weeks after my daughter was born, I was in one hospital watching life go out, and in another hospital watching one coming in.

And yet it was like I was watching souls jumping in and out of the subconsciousness.

It's full circle

Here's a pic from last summer of my dad with one of his great granddaughters. Yesterday on the day he died it was her first birthday...

🕯️❤️🌹

More emotional for me than death itself turns out to be the funeral arrangements. I had to deal with that last summer about this time of year and this has brought all that back. I'm a mess... 😥

So sorry he passed away. Big hugs. 

yes, must have been JR 100%, a good sign he had come to greet him and care for him on the other side.

Can’t your siblings deal with it for you?

Hi! We're dealing with it together, but of course everyone understands my need for space. It's brought family closer together though, we're all there for mom ❤️

Thank you! I appreciate it!

Agree..twas JR..

Sorry to hear the heartache is piling up. I’m sure it’s a bewildering time for you.

You’re in my thoughts, you’re a positive person in my eyes.

Thank you Bohica! ❤️ I'm pretty sure JR and Dad are bromancing in heaven right now.

I hope you and yours are doing ok
