June - I am sorry for your loss and glad that you were able to be there with your family.  Take care of yourself during the upcoming days, weeks and months.  

June my friend I am so sorry for your loss and my heart aches for you.  I will keep you and your family in my prayers.  Put on some clothes with lots of pockets so we can all jump in and be with you.

Here is a big group hug for June

I love all you guys as I am crying my eyes out from all your love and support!  Thank you and please do come with me as I am not sure how I will make it through this!  I am a freakin wreck right now.....

Just tell me how does one close there eyes at night when they are in so much pain?  I am so exhausted!

June--Maria put it very well.  My Dad died 28 years ago and I was young and I still miss him.  I think of my step-dad as my dad because he has been my dad longer than my dad was.  My son died 16 years ago and there is not a day goes by that I don't think of him.  With both of those losses it was hard at first and sometimes I thought I could not breath because it hurt just too darn much.  But eventually I could breath and now I can laugh and tell stories about my son and my Dad without crying.  It is a process that you will have to work through your own way.  We love you here and are all here for you.

June - Tink said it very well - one step and one day at a time.  My mom passed in 1995 and my dad inn 2001.  I still miss them terribly.  There are so many things I would have liked to ask my mom but couldn't.  You know we will all be with you in your time of sorrow.  Hope you have big pockets cuz we are going to fill them.  Take your time and grieve in your own way.  Just be sure to reach out to us when you need to.

Love You

Jo

Dear june, if the measure of a man is the legacy he leaves behind, your father was a giant. Thanks for allowing us to read about him. His story made me so happy! He filled a life, it seems, with as much living as he could! Married for 61 years? Children, grandchildren, great grandchildren? Served his country. Became an engineer. And then all those good works. I am so sorry for your loss, june. But your Dad is an example to me of someone who used the gift of life to the fullest. For himself, his family and others. May his memory always be a comfort to you and your family.

Every since I have been on Tamox (4 months), my knees are so painful that I cannot even kneel down. My onc said this is not an SE of Tamox. Well, I am here to say that it is an SE! I stopped taking Tamox one week ago and slowly but surely I have returned to normal range of motion with my knees. I can jump up and kneel all the way down to touch the floor - painfree! While on Tamox, I could not bend at the knees and had to bend at the waist because of the pain/swelling in the knees. I love being painfree in the knees!

June - Thank you for sharing your dad's story - what an incredible man.  We are here for you. I better go get in line so I can jump in your pockets. Thinking of you today - (((HUGS)))
