Blogging friends, my father passed away Monday morning. I was blessed to be at his side when he took his last breath.
Thank you for all your emails, comments, prayers and words of encouragement.
Big hugs,
Janean

Lovely Things To Me
Family
Rain, gently falling
Classical music
Black wrought iron fences
Babies feet
Good friends
Fresh brewed coffee
The sound of knitting needles clicking
White - it calms me
Pearls - real of course
Autumn. It is the smell of leaves
High heels...oooooh
And art
Moonlight - the color fascinates me
Dark chocolate; never white or milk
White fluffy towels
My cowboy boots
And all things French.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Bless your heart. I'm praying for you and your family. I've walked in your shoes (losing both of my parents just four months apart in 2008) and it's hard. Take care. Know that your blog-family is here to support you. So glad you could be with your father.
Hugs and blessings,

Janean, he is at rest now, and soon it will be your chance to rest, restore and heal a bit. You have been in my thoughts a lot, maybe because I've so recently been where you are now, or maybe just because. Take care of yourself. Rest when you can, eat for strength, and remember to remember - the good times and bad, the funny times and the sad, as that is part of healing, too. Blessings, Becky G.
i am sooooo sorry for your loss.....he can now watch over you from heaven and he can be healthy and pain free.....may God bless you and him....
big, big hugs, cindy

I am so very sorry for your loss. I know that when we lose a parent, it doesn't matter how old we are, the child inside longs for mommy or daddy. We'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time, and I hope you find the strength you need during this difficult time.
Oh Janean, I'm so sorry to read of your father's passing; what a comfort and a blessing that you were with him......

Janean,
I was SOO thinking of you Monday as I knew what you had said would be going on... You, my sweet far away blog sister, are in my prayers, and I shed tears of sorrow for you and the rest of your family as you hold tight together through this...another moment in life that we all have to go through as family begins to
pass on from here. I know that I will have to face this probably this year with my mama, and I am just feeling for you. Please know you are in my conversations with our Father... LOVE to you and hugs and my sympathy to your family. Courage and togetherness as you make the decisions now that have to be made! God bless you....
Big hug...
Oh, dear Janean~
My heart is heavy with shared grief. I lost my Dad last October and I continue to miss him every day. It was a blessing though, that you could be with him at the end. May time heal your broken heart and may the precious memories you shared replace the emptiness you are feeling now.
Deepest sympathy and blessings, my friend.
Susan
So sorry to hear about your father. We lost ours last October and it still doesn't seem real. We are comforted with the knowledge of where he is and of being united again in heaven. Going to visit the grandmas this week-end since it will be the first Father's day without our special Dad.
Janean, My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Oh Janean I'm so sorry. What a wonderful thing for your father though...to have you at his side knowing that he was loved dearly. His last moments were surrounded by love. My heart goes out to you and your family. Maura

So sorry to hear that you lost your father. It is a blessing that you were able to be with him though. My prayers for you and your loved ones as you get through this difficult time.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You are fortunate that you were with your dad. I wished that my father lived closer. I am in California and he lives in Washington state. Before my mil passed away, she was in a lot of pain, but just before she passed away, she had a huge smile on her face. It makes me wonder who she saw.
Janean, I just want you to know I am thinking of you this evening. With it being Father's Day tomorrow I keep thinking about you and how you are feeling.
Keeping you in my heart and prayers always sweetie....:-)Hugs
Janean, I just read this and am so sorry for your loss. Sue
