What a crazy crappy month!!!
I know it has been a long time since I have posted but soon I will no longer be a Nestie...
2 weeks DH and I decided to sperate! I talked to my mom who said it was ok for me to move back in once we got my brother and SIL to clear out my old room (and that was once my 2 brother cleared out his old room.. too many siblings had moved back home and when they moved out again they left crap behind..lol)... well like I said that was 2 weeks ago... I'm still here because we had another whammy hit our family last Monday with the death of my dad.
As most of you knew in the past he was in poor health and on the 17th we talked to the drs who informed us that dialysis was no longer working like it should so my mom made the desision to stop his dialysis treatments!!! (he was also in a rehab center trying to recover from a broken hip and while there developed pneumonia AGAIN!!! for the 4th time this year) .. So we visited with him all weekend and got the call early early Monday morning and the nurses said it was only a matter of time now and if we wanted to be with him when he passed then we needed to get there ASAP!!! So we all rushed to be with him and say our good-byes... He opened his eyes one last time as my mom was giving him permission to go and took a few more breaths and passed at 5:15 am last Monday.
He lived a long long life and was such a fighter!!,, He was 87 years old and was the best husband to my mom and the best father to his 6 children and an awesome (great) grandfather to all his grand and great grand children!!! We laid him to rest Friday in the Veterens Cemetery with full military honors. I will miss him until my dying day and I cant wait until we are reunite again one day!!!
Re: What a crazy crappy month!!!
Don't go. You don't have to be married to be a nestie. Stay and talk.
I hope that everything works it's way out for you. Your father sounded like an amazing man.
Hi, I'm new to the nest and just starting to meet everyone and even though I don't know you yet I hope you will stay. I have been through a divorce and can say that my girlfriends were my rocks! It sounds like you have some good ones here already. I hope you will stay on. We are all here for you!
Your dad sounded amazing and I'm so sorry for your loss. May the memories you have of him comfort you in your days ahead. My dad is 700 miles away and battling Alzheimer's. He still knows me and I get home every few months to help out but I miss him and mom and I can't imagine him not being there. My heart goes out to you. Stay Strong!
There is a GTG tomorrow night at Prospector's. If you feel up to some girl time I hope you will come. It will be my first and I'm looking forward to meeting the girls.
Hang in there.
Stacy
wow, I am so sorry for all that you are going through. It sounds like your dad had a full life and his memory will live on through your family. I wish you and your family all the strength in the world through this difficult time.
I am really sorry about your decision to separate from your H. Please do not feel like you can't post here bc you are separated or no longer married. I see this board as a way for women to support each other no matter what stage of our lives we are in.
Sending you lots of good thoughts and vibes for strength and also for next month to be a million times better than this one!
I'm sorry you're going through such a tough time... It sounds like your father was a really wonderful man and I'm sorry to hear about his passing.
Feel free to come on here and vent...you should stay on the board!
Sorry for your loss.. full military honors is a beautiful thing!
And hang in there... better months are ahead!
Ditto everyone else. There are plenty of unmarried nesties -- I think this is all more about life than being married.
Im so sorry for all you have gone through this past month, I really hope life gets easier for you soon. It is never easy to lose a loved one, and your father sounded like a great man.
and I agree with the other girls, please dont feel like you cant post here anymore because you will be single. please continue to nest.
