It's been a rough day

I just found out my uncle (actually my dad's uncle) passed away earlier today. Then while trying to find a song to sing for his funeral, I get another phone call that my dad has had a heartattack. The last words that he had been able to say was to tell my mom to tell me to stay where I was he needs me to keep his granddaughter safe and sound within me. He is still hanging on, but things are not looking great for him right now. I just completed the hardest phone call of my life. My mom held a phone to his ear and I talked to him then sang him a song that he loved listening to me sing. I sang him Daddy's Hands. It was rough. I though birthdays were supposed to be happy days!! I think the news about my uncle was the hardest thing for him as they were very close and my dad's health has not been the best for the last while.

WOw Im sure that you wont be going through many days worse than this one...sorry to hear it was so rough. Rough might be an understatement! Hope things are looking up for your family soon.

wow... my thoughts and prayers are with your family......

oh Gosh smoky! I hope you get some good news soon on dad! so sorry about your uncle, maybe that's the end of the "3"s for you? (the first being the injured horses).
Our thoughts are with you and your family.

Smoky, what a huge burden you have been given! I am so sorry that all these things have to come to you at once. I hope and pray that you find your place of inner strength and take your burdens there. We all hold you in our hearts and think of you in the coming days.

Very rough day. You could be right, hearing of his brother might have affected him. But you also know that he is focused on the baby, hopefully that will have an affect too. Our thoughts are with you.

very rough day. All i can say is it well get better. And savoir all the time you have with every one.

That's a very tough day Smoky Your dad must be and incredible person to be thinking of you and your baby while suffering a heart attack. Take care.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

You have our prayers and thoughts.

Oh dear, this is just awful to hear and I feel very badly for you. IN all honesty, there is not really much anyone can say to you, except try to keep that chin up, the days will be brighter again, but will take a long time to be that way. Still try to find something that can make you feel happy, CynthiaM.

I am so very sorry. I will be holding you up in prayer.

Oh Smoky, life can be so challenging and difficult to fathom sometimes. Thinking of you and hoping your father has a complete recovery. Don't stop taking good care of yourself, for your child's and your father's sake now.

Oh man, that is a rough day and then some. smoky, I will be thinking of you... please take care.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts, words and prayers! There is not much change in my dad, but the docs say it looks promising that he made it through the night. I think the only thing that is keeping him holding on is the fact that he is determinded to see what will probably be his last grandchild. I am the baby in our family and don't forsee anymore babies for me after this one. My dad is a strongwilled, stubborn man when it comes to getting what he wants, so I suspect he will hold on until baby arrives, and hopefully by then he will have recovered enough to stick around a few more years!

If I hear that he is not doing better or slowly getting worse, I have a song picked to sing to him as I honestly feel that even though he is not responding much to outside stimulation he can still hear. IF this is the case as hard as it will be I will be singing the song You Can Let Go Now Daddy to him to let him know we will all be okay, if he feels it is his time to go.

Smokey river sending hugs your way Just reading your posting brought tears to my eyes.
In times of hardship we find inner strength as I am sure you will. Finders crossed your Dad pulls throw to see his new grandchild.
