There will never be a New Year Eve like this one...I just saw that on TV. I was not going to write about tonight because the feelings are still to new, but I feel I need to. Today is December 31, the last day in 2005. I turned 42 today and I held my fathers hand and told him I loved him and kissed him good bye, for the last time. Not just for the year but forever. My father passed away tonight. I miss him already. Tomorrow will bring a new year and a new begining, but I will still miss him.

Wow Jill! That's not a great way to start the year off, but I hope it gets much better for you. Sorry for your loss, and happy birthday, if that's possible.

{{{Jillian}}} I'm so sorry for your loss, I'm sure he was a wonderful man and he will live in your heart forever. Death can't break those bonds. Happy birthday, if that's possible. *BIG HUGS* You're an amazing woman, and have a great attitude, most would be so angry but you're seeing the bright side of things, with the new beginnings.

Hang in there, Jillian. I think it's at least better you were able to be with him at the end. I am sure he found it comforting.

Oh sweetie! I'm so sorry!! That is just the most awful thing to have happen, and on your birthday!!

I had tears come to my eyes as I read your post. I hope you did have some good things happen on your birthday and you were able to enjoy them.

Sending you a big hug!
(((((((Jill))))))))

Hugs for you sweetie. It is a gift I think to be there, I was with mom at the end as well and it was very powerful. {{{{{J}}}}}

With your loss, wishing you a Happy New Year seems almost empty.
I'm sure,however, he would join me in wishing you only he best for the coming year.

Ah, Jill! I'm so sorry. There's nothing new or original I can say. My father died in my arms a while back. No two experiences are the same but I just want you to know I share yor pain. Happy Birthday sounds hollow. Happy New Year sounds worse. I just want you to heal and grow from this. I'll be thinking of you. I hope you're safe in the floods!

I'm so sorry for your loss. No words could probably lift your spirits-- but know that your father is wishing you a happy birthday as well as a great new year.

I wish happiness, love and health for your coming year. Hang in there---{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}
