Obit: Mudcatter Alba's Dad

From: katlaughing

Please join me in sending good thoughts, energy, prayers, etc. to Alba/Jude. She's just lost her dad, Tommy, and needs our help. He lived in Scotland, so she's scouting airlines to get over there, which just adds to the sorrow and stress. She says he was the best man ever there was that she knew and I know her heart is breaking. He has to've been to wind up with such a grand daughter as our Jude!

{{{{{{{{JUDE}}}}}}}}}}



May the Light surround and enfold you in comfort and ease, darlin'...I love you and am sending you all of the love, energy, and prayers you can use with a great big hug.

Deep peace of the infinite peace to you.

Blessings of Love and Light,

Kat, Rog, Rue, and the little Man

I am sorry, Jude. I lost my father in September and am still coming to terms with the loss. PM me if I can offer you help getting to and from the airports or if you need a place to stay in the Portland area in order to get a decent flight.
Take care of yourself.

Dear Jude,

Words are such empty vessels to ease loss. The depth of your sorrow is a measure of the love you had for your father. It is also a measure of the love he had (and still has) for you. Please remember that.

I don't think Jude has had a chance to read this, but I did pass it on by answerphone, esp. your kind offer, Sins. Thanks a bunch to you and everyone else. She sounded so heartbroken this morning. One of the first things she said was she wanted to tell Mudcatters and ask for our help because she really needed it.

Holding you in our hearts and thoughts, Jude,

All our best thoughts and deepest sympathies coming your way.

Once you allow that gaping hole in your heart to fill with the memories of a lifetime, your Dad will be immortal and that's about as good as it gets.

When I first started to post here , the only person to welcome me was Judith,she sent a PM telling me about the site and hoping I would enjoy participating.
Since then Iv watched her posts, she always has a kind word for anyone in trouble, always the first to extend the hand of friendship.

I think its our turn now to support her in her sad loss, and I would like to offer my condolences to Judith and family...Ake

I am one of those awkward people who never really know what to say, but, you certainly have my good thoughts.

Paraphrased from a phone call with Jude, today: I've read the thread and it just means so much to me...they have no idea how much love I am sending them and feeling, I love them, I do. There's so much love ...I am taking it all with me, that's the one thing we can give and give and there's never an end to it...love. I am printing out a copy of the thread and taking it with me to share with Luke.

I've reminded her to take it slow and not forget to breathe. She said she'd be more settled once she's over there and her Dad is settled, service done and over, etc. This takes so much energy. Thanks to you all for helping her through this. She will be flying out tomorrow and be "home" by Tuesday afternoon.

Thanks, again and love to all,

kat

Sorry to hear this Alba - it must have been difficult being so far away as well. Hope the flight was as easy as they get and that you can now see Tommy off in the best possible way.

There's a poem that talks about someone'just going into the next room' and I do believe that our loved ones never really leave us as just thinking about them brings them back for us.

It's rough enough to lose your father, but living many miles away for so long makes it harder. (I know from experience.)

Tom and I both send you sympathy, condolences, and lots of love.

Jude and kat, both, it must seem like sadness comes in heaps, but so does love and support. I hope that you are both feeling the virtual arms around you.

I think Tommy and Sparky just want to compare notes on their daughters. They must be very proud.

I spoke with Jude, today. They will have the service next Monday. Tomorrow she will go sit with him at the funeral home and *visit*...it'll be a good thing. The neighbours and the dog next door, as well as her son and other friends have been there for her and she sounded as well as could be expected. Odd, we both find ourselves helping the others with their grief.

Thanks, again and jude, ya know we're here for you.
