As of 2 days ago my heart broke into a million pieces. I received a phone call that I NEVER wanted to get. A panicked voice on the other end of the line called me by my childhood name, "Kristy your dads dead!" "WHAT, what whyyy, how???? As if these questions could undo what I could never unhear. I was left with the task of telling his granddaughter Jossy his pride and joy that her Pops passed away. He had just sent her a present and we were supposed to facetime so he could watch her open it. It arrived the night before he died and Jossy wasn't home. After I told her the news she decided to open her gift as I bawled my eyes out. Jossy put her new toys down to hug me and then she paced back and forth saying what she had over heard me saying on a call to my mom, "I thought I had more time, I thought I had more time!!!"

On Wed Sept 22nd at 1:02pm My father passed away suddenly. He had just completed a successful bout of radiation on his leg. However his wound was not healing and he was in a lot of pain. I knew he was not feeling well but I didn't know that this was the end. I still don't have all the answers. Due to the sudden nature of his death I am unable to access assets in a timely manor to give him a proper send off. I am asking with all the broken pieces of my heart, if you could please help me put my father to rest in an honorable way. I would be forever grateful. Also let this be a reminder that you need to have uncomfortable conversations with your loved ones about where your important documents are located and what plans you have in place if you should pass suddenly. We ALWAYS think we have more time. Please donate and/or share.
