Hey there everyone.

I know I have been scarce the last few days but its been a really tough week.


Most of the members here know me well and have shared in the stories and various adventures about my Dad and Mom as well as other family members over the years, here and in other forums. I consider many of you as my friends and extended family and I find comfort in sharing my sad news with you all.

My father passed away in a accident on veterans day. He had a massive heart attack while driving and slammed into the back of a truck. The doctors assured us that it was quick and he was unaware of the accident which gives us a little comfort. He was going to be 86 this Monday the 16Th which is now the day in which we will bury him. My Dad was one of the greatest joys and loves in my life, wise,strong sweet, kind and the rock of our family and he will be greatly missed. We are a strong family and will get through this though. He will never really be gone from us because his energy and spirit lives within each of those who knew and loved him. I dont know if any of you recall this but my father was part Mohegan Indian. I know.......... I have a colorful family, witches, Indians, shamans, seers, catholics and lets not forget my brother the scientist who keeps us grounded. (snort) Anywho...... we have less then traditional beliefs and since my father is close to nature and spirit we knew a sign would come to each of us that he was safe happy and at peace. Mine came last night. I was sitting on my back porch crying and a very large red tailed hawk, which you do not see many of in CT and certainly do not fly around close to dusk much, swooped down and landed no more then 30 feet from my porch. I thought maybe I was imagining it but my kids saw him to earlier in the day. He sat there looking at me until I stopped crying then seemed satisfied and spread his wings and flew away leaving me in a more peaceful state and I suspect we will see him on and off till Monday.


So on Monday send some love, good thoughts and energy out into the universe to help my father cross over into the land of spirit.

I will be back into the swing of things after Monday and thank you all for all the love support and life you have shared with me now and over the last few years.

I'm sending warm thoughts and positive energy your way, sweetie. I was just thinking of you and wondering how your brother and law was doing after I caught this article in the Hartford Current,

Tisha, I'm so sorry for you loss. I don't know what the hell I would do if I lost my dad. I get scared for him every time I hear some conflict or threat between North Korea and South Korea. It sounds like your family really spent a lot of good, quality time with him. My condolences to you, take all the time you need, we'll be here.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Tisha. My heart goes out to you and your family.

There's nothing that can truly separate you from your dad. I know you love him beyond measure. Find strength in the love you shared to help you through this difficult time and to go on to live your life to the fullest, just as he would want. No matter what the future brings, my friend, his love for you will never die and will always be with you, through all eternity. Carry that with you on your journey, along with my love.

Tish, sorry to hear about your loss, if there is anything good, it's that it was quick and he didn't suffer.
