Thank you. I really wish your brother well. Treatments are very promising for MM now. Unfortunately my Dad was too old and frail so he opted for pain management only. In the end his kidneys failed amongst other things.

Thank you, I am praying that these new treatments work. My brother is awesome and I hate that he is having to go through this. Prayers for you and your family.

Sorry for you loss. Take care, my thoughts are with you. Hugs from Maureen

Thank you Lidia.
Hugs to you to.

May God bless your heart and send His Angels to comfort you, in this your time of sorrow. Father's are special in a woman's life. I know mine was, I lost him 15 years ago. Wrap yourself inside the blanket and cuddle with him whenever you have a need. His love will always surround you, he's never far. Please accept my sincere sympathy.

That's very sweet of you, Thank you so much.

my dad also died on May 30th.....but 19 years ago. It is very sad to loose our parents and it does take a while to realize that you [the ones left] are now the 'older' generation. Remember him, but allow yourself to grieve.

So sorry for your huge loss. I'm so glad you had such quality time with him in the weeks before he left you. May you be blessed by the good memories of him and for the sacrifices you made to be with him during his struggle. Hard to witness, but a blessing being by his side. I will be praying for you as you continue to mourn his loss.

Thank you so much

I'm very familiar with the battle you and your war waged with Multible Myeloma. My heart goes out to you. I know your quilt which has so much love stitched into gave your dad much comfort. You have the best testimony of love knowing he spent many hours wrapped in your love. It's OK to miss him, but while you are missing him remember the many times of love and laughter you experienced over the years.

I'm so sorry. Thank heavens you have the quilt to wrap yourself in when you need a hug. It's very hard to watch someone go thru all this. Give yourself lots of time with the quilt.

I will and Thank you.

My sincere condolences to you and your family. Your quilt must have been a great comfort to him - being able to wrap himself up in your loving hands. I hope you can find comfort in knowing that your dad is now finally at rest, and no longer feels the pain he had endured in his last years. Multiple Myeloma can be a brutal disease. My cousin's B-I-L was recently diagnosed with this and has just now started his treatment regime.

Thank you for your condolences. I hope that all goes well for your B-I-L. The treatments these days are very much improved. Unfortunately Dad was too old and frail for anything much to help him so it was all about pain management.

I am so very sorry. My condolences to you and your family

Me to, Thank you Gerry.

Sincere sympathy for your very sad loss; you have been on a challenging journey and it is time, now for you to have as much space as you need to grieve; eventually, I do hope that your many fond memories together with the knowledge that you were able to assure him of your love and make that very special quilt for him, and be there for him will bring you much comfort and help you to grow strong again. Nowadays it is a very sad fact that many frail people are left to die alone; you did not do that to your Dad - you found the courage and made the time and effort to share his most difficult days, so I must say to you - well done and God bless.

Thank you so much

I'm so sorry to hear your of your loss of your dad and the heartache you feel. Wrap yourself with the precious quilt when you are lonesome for him....... I have a large blanket, thread bare, and over 50 years old. I used to wrap my body in it when I was young, and jump in the bed, it was so cold in the winter. When my grandpa, whom I dearly loved, fell dead in our yard with a sudden heart attack, someone went in our house and got my blanket to cover him with, until the body was picked up. I have kept it all these years and think of him fondly, whenever I come across it. ...I'm glad you made the quilt, too.-Toogie

Thankyou. Yes it is heartbreaking. I don't think I will ever be the same.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I hope you will use that quilt because it was perfect. Perfectly made with love and he knew that. It was good that you got to be with him and say your goodbyes for now. You need to rest and grieve for as long as it takes and you will be in my prayers.
