I Miss My Dad

Hi, I do not know how I came upon your letter but am touched and I am grieving deeply over my fathers recent death. He was only 50 years old and died of a brain amorism. I do not even know if I have spelled that right. I am not very close with my mother and am an only child. I am really sad and having a hard time with this. I will send you an attachment that I wrote and sent to others, friends the day after. It helped me to express my pain. I understand what you mean about people reaching out. I am very surprised in friends and families reactions. The people you think are closest are the ones who do not call. And surprisingly strangers or acquaintances seem to reach out the most. Sincerely, Tonia

here is the letter to her friends

My Dear Father, Craig Word, passed away Friday morning. Very unexpectedly! He was only 50. He had a brain amorism. My mom called late Thursday night and said that I need to come to the hospital in Reno. John and I rushed in the snowy weather and dropped Cole off with a friend Karen. Cole has the flu and she stayed up with him all night as he vomited on the hour. Bless her heart. On the way to the hospital the doctor called to find out how much longer we are in getting there. I asked what's going on. There was no response. Just to come to ICU when you get here. (I just saw my mom and dad days before and we had a nice visit). We ran in ICU and my dad was breathing by machine and passed with in the hour. I had no idea what I was walking into, but I am glad I was there. I feel as if I am floating and this is not my life. It is the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. I very much adore and love my father. He took me in at 3 as if I was his own and I became the apple of his eye. He was my big hug able bear. I appreciate his wit, humor, and patience, caring, caring for others and how he was always the center of attention making people laugh. He made me laugh. Thank you dad for those gifts. I am writing to you all because it helps me to share my pain and I ask for your prayers this holiday for me my family. My mother and my father have been married for over 26 years, now she lost her best friend. They have had many struggles to overcome. But they where on there way. My grandma is 82 and I worry of her health. She has always been my angel. And I am an only child with a son he will never get to see grow up. Cole just called him grandpa for the first time days before. My dad teared. For he was always a softy. God Bless all of you and your Family. It is important to tell each of them how much they mean to you. You never know when they could be taken away and you won't have the opportunity again. I know he is in a better place, I just wasn't ready for him to leave us this soon. Sincerely, Tonia Rhodes
