Here is an update I just posted on my blog. It is a little raw for me, but it is what I am enduring.
There's nothing wrong with hurting Brother. Nothing wrong with crying. And sure not a thing wrong with admitting either.
I've been praying for you, I'll continue to.

God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we're in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ. ~Romans 3:24 from The Message

Bro, it hurts me to read about you hurting. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this and I wish I had the words to say to bring the comfort you need, but at this, I fail.

There is no pain like the ache we feel when we've lost someone we hold so dear. Nothing that anyone can say will make that pain go away. Time will heal. And knowing that you are wrapped in the arms of a God who loves you dearly.
Take comfort in the hope of one day seeing your father again. In the meantime, it is perfectly ok for you to hurt. It's normal. It's natural. It's expected. Don't feel bad about that.
And we are here for you to vent to. We can take it, brother. We'll hold you up. Lean on us.
You are daily in my prayers along with your mom...Son, it is ok to cry we all need to cry sometimes...it helps us...I still weep even though I know my mother made it...I miss her...our flesh will always miss those that go before..
love and blessings to you.

Oh my what a stark reality! Praying for you brother.
AND especially tomorrow, take many deep breaths, recite the WORD over and over in your soul, be strong for mom.
How COOL that an obit can be read online, and that there is that feature of a guestbook, etc., I never knew that was available and I HAVE a HoustonChronicle online mbrshp! Haven't checked it in a while, though.
YES its ok and normal to cry for a loved one that is no longer around, sometimes I still wake;jump up in a STARK REALITY CHECK moment when I realize that my own only sister is gone, it almost seems unreal, yet its been 10yrs already. *sigh* I can still cry about that.

Thanks to all. Prayer is asked one more time, for my strength and that of my Mom's come tomorrow.
Bro. Price,
This is something I am sure you know, but I remind you...Your father has finished his race, He is free from the things that held him down. I will pray for your family and especially Mom because of the void your father's passing brings. Fill that void with Jesus and know he is taking good care of your Dad.
