Re: 79Blue RIP

I have just read the post Ian's eldest daughter made on the Alternative Forum. Everyone should read it.

Re: 79blue

That's a fantastically scripted eulogy and goodbye

You are not taught to write like that , it comes from the soul

I am sure your dad was such a huge influence in the way you have turned out to be which is clearly very humble and gracious.....like 79blue

He is at peace now

Take care

Re: 79blue

Your dad will be incredibly proud of you (and your husband and mum) of that there can be no doubt, and as a father of young kids, I think that is the greatest thing I could wish for.

Life is incredibly unfair, we all have our reasons for thinking this, you more than most. I wish you all some peace and contentment in the coming years knowing you did everything for him. As I say, in that situation, I would have been proud to have been looked after as you described.

Thank you for posting and all the best

Thank you, my husband (w3lshie) joined after seeing this thread, He alerted me to it not realising my silence was me typing here for dad.

You've all been so amazing to him and I can't thank you all enough for that. ♥️ The love outpouring after you saw the gfm update has really warmed my heart.

Re: 79blue

life can be so cruel and having to watch on helplessly as a loved one deteriorates at such a rapid rate is the most difficult situation you will ever find yourself in, but through the pain you found the strength to care for your Father, to be present during his time of need, and for that he would've been extremely grateful

your selfless display of love through pain is testament to the quality of guidance your Father has clearly shown you throughout your life, mourn his loss but also rejoice in the fact that you were privileged to have been able to call him 'Dad', it's all we really strive for as doting, loving parents

it's a sad read, but also an emotive outpouring of a daughters love for her Father, rest assured you couldn't have done anything more in the circumstances

lastly, it's important that after a period of reflection and introspection you also take some time out for yourself

Re: 79blue

That was extremely well-written, and as another poster said.. "from the soul".

God bless you and your family, your father will be looking down and feeling immensely proud of you all.

Re: 79blue

He is now at peace watching down with pride at you and all his family god bless

Re: 79blue

Thank you for posting at this terribly difficult time.

I'm so glad he was able to get some comfort from this board. His updates and courage touched us all.

He clearly received tremendous care and love from his family, and I wish you all the best as you come to terms with your loss.

Re: 79blue

What a marvellous and moving message.

You and your family have been through something that no one should, but your dignity and compassion shine through in your writing - i wish you and your family best wishes at this difficult time.

Re: 79blue

I'm very sorry to hear this news although it sounded as if it was likely to come sooner rather than later. Thank you so much for letting us know. He seemed a very special man.

Re: 79blue

There are no adequate words that can diminish your grief and sense of loss, but those words are the best epitaph a husband and father could ever had. Thank you.
