We’re all so sorry and offer our condolences for your family’s loss. Wesley has been our surrogate son for over 15 years and we love him dearly and was so sad to hear he lost his grandfather. Affectionately known as “PopPop” As well to know you lost your father. Wesley has always spoke of him with such love and respect and more so lately as he shared the sad news. Wesley and Restin have a incredible bond and share a friendship that has stood the test of their own lives and times. Thru it all their friendship has prevailed and as their relationship matures I witness the quiet understanding of the others emotions and feelings. This event is no different as Restin lost his “Opa”(grandfather ) last March. Wesley is a fine young man and that can only be credited to those around him including his grandfather…your father.
My heart is heavy for your loss as a daughter and daddy share a special bond and I have faith your father was loved by many but few loved him as much as his daughter. Although I have no words or know of any actions to help you fill the void his leaving has made nor do I have any special advice to help your pain be lessened but I can say that you have one distinction no one else had or ever will and that being you are a “daddy’s girl”. That title seems silly to some but I too hold that distinction having lost my daddy in 1980 and I’m so very proud to carry in my heart the love that goes with all that title stands for. I know you miss your daddy but have faith he and your mama are reunited and once again waltzing with the love of their lives.
Wesley knows we will always be here to help him guide him and love him thru this monumental life event. So have no guilt he does not grieve alone. Take the time you need to allow your own grief to be processed knowing your baby is not left with no one as you say goodbye to your daddy and enter into a new chapter of your own life
I pray the tears you now shed will one day be replaced with the fondest of memories of your father.
We ask God for the same for Wesley and for all those who were blessed to have your father touch their lives
