My step-dad passed away yesterday morning while I was there. My mom, brother and I were there to hold his hand and tell him much we love him as he was taking his last breath and I’m so glad he had us all there to help him to the other side.

I’m just so torn up though. I will write about the experience at some point. I think I need to. Today though, I just need to grieve.

    Oh, Monica. I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m so glad you were able to be there in the end and share that special time with your family. Let me know if you need anything at all.

    He was lucky to have you all there letting him know how much he meant to you while he was here. You and your family continue to be in my thoughts. I wish peace during this time of grieving for all of you.
