Very sorry to hear the news Orli
My Dad passed away a few years ago
He was in the hospital
I would visit him on my way home from work most days
bring him dinner
(special leftovers from work, which he loved)
'What did the executives have for lunch Today', he would always want to know
He was supposed to be there for a while only
we never expected, when
I got a sudden call, come now...
Our immediate family spent the night with him
My sister managed to catch a boat and make the 400 mile drive
it was difficult he wasn't able to communicate with us,
and it was hard for us to come up with words for him
but I know for him the important thing was to have everyone there together
(though I know he hated to be seen there like that, and wanted to give us words before departing,
but he had already taught us all, and shared, so much over the years)
The most important thing for him
was always bringing the family together
sometimes I think it was easier that it was fast and unexpected
Sometimes I wish for some time to talk to him
Words aren't always easy in hard times
Not sure what to say
Take care
Talk to her
Enjoy the time you have
Live what you can
Don't be afraid she will always be with you, if you always keep her alive in memory
I miss my dad dearly
But I have many wonderful memories
And at times I can feel he is still around,
helping and guiding people and things in my life
I am blessed
Life is a wondrous thing
Live it, Love it, enjoy and appreciate it
Strength to you and your family

sorry I got a little long winded there...
