Facebook posts following My Dad's death

Hi Dad!
After you passed Facebook became a place that I shared my grief and asked for prayer. Sometimes I wrote to you on your page and sometimes I wrote about you on my page. I want to be able to go back and read those so I am copying them to this blog. These are posts I made on my page shortly after your death. I was so broken and so hurt, but trying so hard to keep it together. I love you so much Dad!!!
Love,
Mary Ann

"Some things are so hard. It is Father's Day. I just want to call my Dad and tell him how much I love him. I want to tell him what a wonderful Dad and Grandpa he was. I want to tell him how proud I am of everything he did. I want to tell him that God gave me the very best Dad ever and I am so grateful. I really could go on and on, but I really can't compose my thoughts enough to write a message fitting for my wonderful Dad. So I will just say THANK YOU! Thank you Dad for everything you did for all of us! Thank you for all the love you gave to all of us! Thank you Dad for sharing the Lord so freely! He did beautiful work through you and you were so happy to serve Him! I love you Dad!!!! I miss you so much!!!!! My heart is broken, but your heart is whole and filled with happiness.

"I am going to find someone who could use my help today! Perhaps someone who is hungry or needs a cold drink in this heat! That is what my Dad would do and I think it's the best way to honor his memory! That is what I want to do for him this Father's Day! That is a gift I CAN give him today!!!! I love you Dad and miss you so much!!!!!"

I haven't had a chance to read them all yet because there are so many. I promise to read them all very soon though!! You all have made me feel VERY loved!!!!! Thank you SO much!!!"
