I am very sorry for the loss of your father. No words I could possibly convey here would do justice to your loss… but know that my heart is breaking with you.

I just found your site by accident the other day – while looking for “date-a-dr” cause I have no health ins. your post from may 5 2004 came up – and I started reading your blog. I don’t know you at all but I sympathize with the passing of your father. Sending lots of kind thoughts to help you through this time

I do not even know you, yet I sit here my eyes filled with tears. I have a good idea how you feel, I lost my dad at 12. As I read thru your blog about your father, I find myself wiping away tears that do not seem to want to stop. I have been praying for your family and a lot for your father and now my heart is breaking at the loss you and your family is dealing with now. Your father and your family are in my prayers.

Let me be one of the last (again) to offer my condolences. No, condolence is not a strong enough word (and too funny looking, even when spelled right).
Always remember the good times and the good things about your dad, and, again, donâ€™t be afraid to let someone else be strong for you. You don’t want to end up like me, blogging about bird poop. (And thanks for the visit and the comment – it showed me you’re holding up well)

Seriously, my deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Joz, you have been through so much over the last while. It must be overwhelming. I lost my dad this year too. I wish you and yours all the best. Keep in touch.

Joz:

I am so very saddened to learn of your Father’s passing. He remains with you however, in more ways than you might imagine. He exists in the sunlit mornings and moon-filled nights. He is in the Autumn leaves that crunch softly beneath your feet, and the winds of Spring that makes the clouds dance against a deep blue sky. He is the magic of laughter, and the embrace of compassion. He is forever the sparkle in your eyes, and his voice albeit softer, is now and forever more easily understood and empowering.

May God Bless you and your family as he has blessed us all with your Father’s all to brief presence.

I’m so sorry for your loss, Joz. I only recently discovered your blog about 3 or 4 weeks ago, and although I don’t know you very well (or at all, really), my heart hurts for you and your family. It’s so odd how life can change so quickly in such a short amount of time. You have my most heartfelt condolences. Your father sounded like he was one of kind. Stay strong.

Joz, this made me tear up. That picture says it all, of the love between you and your dad. My own dad passed away seven years ago and I miss him every day.
