The Last Solstice

My dad spent his last solstice with us today. We had his burial today, so I'm a little short on words. I thought I'd just share a card we made in my November class.

Life is short. Make the most of it.

  1. Lydia my deepest sympathy to you and your family... so very sorry for your loss.
    I lost my dad in July - no matter how much time we have with them it's never enough, especially if you've been blessed with a special relationship. Prayers for your comfort and peace...

  13. Sending you much love and comforting thoughts as you grieve the loss of your dad. Your card is beautiful and symbolic in a way, as I think of the tree of life and how tall and majestic they are... just like a dad. A warm, squeezy hug has been sent to you.

  22. May you be comforted by sweet memories and the love of your family and friends. Take time to grieve your loss in your own way and at your own pace. There is not a timetable or one "right" way to figure out how to move forward without your dad. However, do remember that your dad is a part of who you are, so he is still very much with you. May God be near to you and your family during this difficult time.
