My dad

[Robert]

Well, this is going to be on of those personal posts. You are all my friends, and friends you can tell anything, right?

I've recently received a message about my father back home in Sweden. He is sick and doesn't have long left. I will be going home very soon to see him; I just hope I make it there in time.

Remember to take good care of the people you love, and tell them often how much you care for them.

Safe journey to you Robert.

Robert, I am so sorry to hear this. Has he been sick for a long time?

Robert,

I am sorry to hear about your father. My father lives 900 miles away in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. He was diagnosed with cancer 2 years ago. The man is 87 years old and still gets around on his own. I expect the phone call to come at anytime.

My prayers are with you, your family and especially your dad. I pray for peace for all at this precious time. May this time bring your family closer together and be used to share the love with each other.

Thanks for your support, my friends. My dad has cancer in the bones and he is in a lot of pain. I'm going to go as soon as I can get a ticket.

Yes Robert,

My dad also has cancer in his bones. It is mostly in his ribs and shoulders. He has had treatment and improved over the summer, but as we all know cancer cannot be beat. It is just a matter of time before it comes back. My sympathies are with you. If your father is like my father (most of the old timers think a like) everything has been taken care of and they are ready. My dad had everything prepared back when he was in his early 70s. Be strong my friend, your family will need your strength to help pull them through.

Hi guys, I made it here, staying at my brother's house right now. Going to see my dad today. It's cold here, minus 17 celsius, and lots of snow. I'll go by the local music store later in the week and see what they have. I'm gonna try and hook up with some of my musician friends here to see what they've been up to. I hope I get to do some jamming with my old buddies. I'll post more later in the week.

Play on,
Robert

Jammin with old friends sounds like a great idea to me....

[Iago]

never miss a chance to jam with your old mates man!

 

[Katastrophe]

Glad to hear you're with the family, Robert. I do hope you get plenty of playing time with your buddies. There have been times in my life where the guitar and music has been the best stress and emotional outlet ever.

Good luck with the family, and continued prayers are sent!

Just to let you know, my dad passed away peacefully today. I will soon go back for the funeral. Thanks for all your support, my friends.

It was so special to see him and our 2.5 year-old daughter together when I went in February (I've got it on video too). It meant so much for him, and I am so glad he got to see her while he was still strong enough.

 

[tot_Ou_tard]

Our hearts are with you & your family Robert. I glad that he passed peacefully.

Robert -

I am very sorry for your loss. You and your family and loved ones will be in my prayers.

 

[Nelskie]

Robert - My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Although I am sure there are feelings of great sadness and loss, I am also certain that you feel very fortunate to have shared such valuable time with him before he passed. Thank you for sharing that experience with us, and helping each of us put into perspective, even if for just a moment, those things in life that are the most important. God Bless.
