Sorry to hear that Behad. I don't pray very often, but I'll make some time tonight for your dad, your mom, and the rest of your family.
I'm terribly sorry, Behad. I lost my father as well, several years ago,and you never get over it. The pain subsides some, with the passage of time, but it is still there. My condolences to you and your family.
I know I don't even know any of you guys on the personal level, but these threads still tear at the heart strings. Many prayers out to you and your family, especially your mother. I'm not a religious person, but I do pray that god be with you and yours and help you guys get through this. Try to be strong for your family, Behad. +
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. The prayer of St. Francis Assisi + -- droxford
