<p>Daddy’s Little Girl
by Punkin</p>
<p>If I had my life to do over,
I’d have chosen you to be my dad
once more.
Even if it meant losing you again,
It’s worth all the tears in the
world.
You were my sunshine when skies
were gray.
I loved you and honored you;
You took all my tears away.
I was happy to be with you,
Proud to be your little girl.
Sometimes we would argue,
But to me you meant the world.
Your love was always pure;
You treated me as your own.
Your time seemed all too short and
I feel so alone.
What can I take from this?
My heart is completely crushed.
But nothing loved is ever lost -
And you are loved so much.</p>
<p>Crabbylady, I am so very sorry for the tragic loss of your dear husband. My thoughts, too, will be with you and your family during this difficult time. Your husband sounds like an unbelievably wonderful, giving, and special guy who will be greatly missed by so many.</p>
<p>Can anyone think of something to do? I have the incredible urge to bake a casserole just to do <em>something</em>, but there has to be a fund we can donate to, or somewhere we can send flowers…</p>
<p>I’m going to look around to see what I can find…</p>
<p>You and your daughters are in my prayers.</p>
<p>Crabby, I know you’ll find the strength to get through the next several days, weeks, and months. I am so sorry for this sudden, tragic loss.</p>
<p>A terrible, senseless tragedy. I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. God bless you and your family.</p>
<p>I too hope you’ll find the strength to get through this tragic loss. I’m truly sorry for your loss.</p>
<p>Please accept my condolences on your tragic loss. Words just aren’t enough.</p>
<p>aibarr - If the obituary is posted online (legacy.com), it will most likely share the names of places where donations can be made. My bet is that with all the organizations and activities he was involved with, there will a few places where donations can be made. He sounded like the kind of guy who impacted thousands of lives, and people will want to memorialize him.</p>
<p>CL, You and your daughters are in my prayers. I am so sorry.
I read the article–your husband sounds like a wonderful man who will be missed by many.
I hope that all the good memories of your life together will help ease your grief.</p>
<p>I am really sorry, crabbylady. If you need more support, please come back here.You and your daughters are in my prayers also.</p>
<p>CL…I am so very, very sorry for your loss. Sending strength/prayers to you and your kids as you go through this nightmare.</p>
<p>I will hold you and yours in the Light.</p>
<p>I join our CC community in mourning with you. I am so sorry.</p>
<p>I, too, read the article. What a senseless and tragic loss. Of course you need to scream. I will be thinking of you and your daughters. How unfair, and how terribly, terribly sad.</p>
<p>aibarr, that’s a wonderful idea. Please post if you learn of somewhere that we can make a donation.</p>
<p>crabbylady,</p>
<p>I’m relatively new to the CC community, but I wanted to let you know that I am reeling at the news of the loss of your husband. I read the linked article, and was completely blown away by what kind of man he was. What a wonderful doctor to use his time and talent to treat those children in comminities that needed his services. His kindness and generosity was reflected his his handsome face. What a terrible, tragic, and very senseless loss. Your daughters and you will be in my prayers as you struggle to come to terms with this very unexpected and horrifying event.</p>
