Martha, don't recognize your name. My daddy was my idol, where ever he was so was I. I was his little girl and his favorite. So I know what it feels like to lose your main man. My dad past when he was 62 from stomach and bone cancer and suffered tremendous pain. I had a dream once a long time ago that I saw my dad and he was waving to me to go with him but I told him that I was ready to go. Martha, you will have these dreams to and treasure them. Best thought and prayers go out to you.

Thanks to all of you who have thought about me during my sorrow. I am running the gamut of emotions. I close my eyes and see him lying on the floor while the EMT does CPR. I see his face while I say my goodbye at that time. I remember his wise advice every day of my life. I don't know what I'll do when I can't ask him what to do about things. I smile when I think about all the wonderful times. I was finally able to sleep last night. Today we have the viewing and tomorrow is our final goodbye. He directed church choir and I played the piano for him for fifty years. His life was totally lived for the Lord. What a rich heritage he left and what wonderful fellowship he is now having in heaven. He is no longer unable to move in bed and he can now talk and sing. I know that it will take a long time to acclimate to life without him but we move forward and do what we have to. Thanks again for all your love and support. Here is the link to his obituary. http://www.wallacethompson.com/obituaries/Clyde-Phillips-2/ Martha ----- Original Message ----- From: askgranny@juno.com To: memory-lane@rootsweb.com Sent: Mon, 03 Feb 2014 00:33:25 -0500 (EST) Subject: Re: [ML] My Sweet Daddy How sorry I am at your grief !..My Daddy died when I was 9 years old so grew up without one...Mom did an incredible job of raising us, but I was a Daddy's girl, and miss him still.
