I owe thanks to romyra for an *AWESOME* gift, to priscel for the cutest dang snowpeople who are now known as Mr and Mrs SnowRoxy--I mean real thanks not just this mention and I will thank you, not to mention lapetite_kiki, who made me go awwwwww when I opened her card....

I haven't been around much lately, just kind of dropping in and dashing out because RL has been pretty rough lately. Between me royally and stupidly fucking up with the IRS and running back and forth to the hospital and worrying about my dad and my job, things have been kind of terrible really. And today, my dad's nursing home called me and asked me to come in because he wasn't doing well. He passed away tonight at 10 pm. We were all there with him, from morning until night, so he was never alone. I'm still, I don't know, in shock or something. It doesn't seem real. I want to talk about him some more but not tonight. Tonight, I just want to fall in bed and not think about anything.

I'm so sorry for your loss, my dear.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you, love.

I am really very sorry to hear this Miss R. Very sorry. I will be thinking of you over the next days hoping you are getting what you need.
My deepest possible sympathies at your loss.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Thank you so much,my dear.

I wish I had something great and inspirational to say, my dearest heart, but I don't. Know that you have both my sympathy and empathy, and if there is anything, anything, I can do for you or yours, please don't hesitate to ask it of me. I'll do it in a heartbeat.

I love you, as great and deeply as kindred spirits found on the interwebs can, and if my thoughts have any power over the course of events, you'll get through this. Take care of your family, and let them take care of you.

*too many hugs to count*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

It is great and inspirational--you make me feel loved.

[matryoshkarose.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry. I'm glad that you could be there with him.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*HUGS*

I am glad we were there. It made us feel better, even if Dad didn't know, that he wasn't alone.

[cha.livejournal.com]

That makes me sad. I wish I could come over with some ice cream and a big hug.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

oh my dear,a big hug from you would be wonderful. Thanks so much. *HUG*

I'm so sorry about your dad. :( Whenever you're ready to talk about him, you know you have ears more than willing to listen.

You know you're always in my thoughts, but I'm sending out some extra special love for you tonight. *hugs you tight* ♥

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I love you so much, my dear. All the Roses love you, even the suspicious one. Thank you a million times.

[hyperfocused.livejournal.com]

So sorry Wish I couldn't say I've been there. Big hugs headed your way.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

We've had a sad, sad year, all of us. Thanks so much for taking the time for me when I know you're going through hard times, too. *HUGS*

[myownghost.livejournal.com]

Oh, I am so sorry to read this. When you do feel like writing more about him, I'll want to read it. Love to you and yours, and a great big hug.

Oh Roxy, I'm thrilled that you got my card and humbled by your dad's passing. I am glad that you and your family were able to be there and I'm sure that it was a comfort to you and to him. I sympathize with your sorrow and I hope that your family will be a balm for your soul. You have my deepest sympathies.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you, love. The Fam is what's keeping me together, I swear. Without them...*shakes head* It's amazing too, all these well wishes. I hope folks know how much it helps.

I wish you'd been there when Mr. R opened the card. The look of surprise and just plain wonder on his face was adorable. He thought it was *beautiful* and set it on a table a little closer to his desk than to mine. ;) Thank you darling one, it was a very thoughtful--and *very* well appreciated--gift! *HUGS*

[bonehed.livejournal.com]

I'm right there with you and hanging on tight. We will have them with us wherever we go and whatever we do. We are who we are because of them. And it's OK to keep talking to him. Just breathe.

XXOOO

You know, even though we knew it was coming it still felt like getting hit by a truck.

[carolinecrane.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you, so much.

I'm so sorry for your loss. *hugs* I can still see the picture you posted of him once and, with the stories you've told, he just sounded like a pretty amazing man. ♥

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

He was a good dad and a wonderful grandpa.

Your icon made me smile, thank you! *HUG*

Girl, I was going to answer all these responses, but I have to stop because I'm about to cry my eyes out now. *HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUG*

Thank you for the yellow rose, it was my mom's favorite color of rose and a nice thing to find on my profile page.

[carolandtom.livejournal.com]

Oh Roxy, I'm so sorry for your loss. I was going to post a comment to say that I owed you many but I think of you often when I read this. I'm very sorry. I wish I could give you a hug in person but at least can send you my love. *Hugs tight*

I'm very sorry for your loss. Although I'm nearly never commenting I was following what you wrote about your dad this past year and before.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much--I swear, it's been a hell of a lousy year for nearly everyone.

[fromward.livejournal.com]

Oh babe, I'm so sorry. All my love and sympathy.

I can't wait for the door to hit 2011's ass on the way out.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I swear, I don't think I've seen such a crappy year for all my friends. So much loss, so much sadness. Yeah, this year really needs to be over.

Thanks so much, my dear.
