Today.... I Lost my Father......

My Daddy has died... at around 4pm today......

My Daddy had been very ill, and my family had been gathered around his bed...awaiting the moment......
My fathers breathing became very diffulcult, he was huffing for my air, as if he was trying to catch his breath....

Then, he took a breath in, and never took another, his chest lifted and expanded, and that was it.
He closed his eyes in this world, and he opened them in the Kingdom of great Splendor and Majesty....
My daddy now beholds the majesty and glory of a great and loving King....

Daddy, you no longer will feel pain.. Your hips are artificial no more, the Lord will make you whole again. You can run again daddy....

My spirit is crushed and broken..... I loved that man... so very much, how I long to hear him call me 'mija' again....
Daddy I love you....

El papá, usted tiene un lugar especial en el corazón. Yo ya le pierdo tanto, gocé su vida preciosa. Gracias papá para todo que usted ha hecho para mí. El señor Jesús le ha llamado en casa, a una ciudad con calles de oro. Veremos uno al otro otra vez papá. Te quiero.

My daddy would take me to buy coins when I was very young... He never discouraged what I wanted to do....

    Sorry to hear that Lucy.....I remember a few of your posts over the last few years of how he would take you to look at coins.
    I feel for your loss.

    Take care......

    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    My sincerest condolances Lucy -

    I recall tonight a story you once shared about your father buying you a Mercury dime from a coin star back when you were a YN - I know your father will live on with you in countless ways, but I just want to say that if among all the things he accomplished he helped impart in you a love for numismatics, then his spirit will in turn live on with us as well in all the things you share.

    Best ~
