We brought my Daddy home to our house when the hospital said there was nothing more they could do for him. He wasn't talking much anymore but when they got him out of the ambulance to bring him inside he said, "Boo, (the name he called me all my life) where am I?" I said, "You're home, Daddy." He replied with his eyes closed and as much of a smile as he could make in the weak state he was in, "I'm home." He held on for a couple of days and I would sit on the bed talking to him. Right before he passed away I leaned down and told him, "Daddy, it's okay if you're ready to go. I'll be okay and I don't want you to worry about me. You'll always be with me in my heart and my memories." I've always heard that sometimes people need permission "to go". After I told him that I pulled up this song and sang it to him. And for the first time in 15 days he opened his eyes and it was like he saw something over my left shoulder, he smiled, then looked at me and closed his eyes. I said, "It's okay, Daddy get you some rest." Then I leaned down and put my ear on his chest...his heart wasn't beating anymore...my Daddy was gone. I've listened to this song everyday since April 20th, the day he left us. It's honestly helped me a lot. I lost my Mama in 2007, and now my Daddy. I was SO close to them both. Some days it's all I can do to just function, but I just tell myself they are watching over me and that spiritually they've never left me. ❤️

First of all, I'm not John Boyles. I'm his wife using his account. Now that that's clear, I want to say I'm a Daddy's Girl. I lost mine June 13, 2002. I was just 21 and he was just 52. Buried him the day before Father's Day that year. I want you to know that it's always going to hurt. The pain in your heart will never ease up when you think of him but also know that it does get easier to live life without him there. I'm saying, it will always hurt but your life does go on and he will always be right there with you... In your heart and your memories. I honestly believe my Dad's soul is alive and well and he has done things (unexplainable and unbelievable) things to show me that he is here with me every step of the way. God Bless you... Remember, your Dad wants to look from Heaven and see you living your life and being happy. ✨💖✨

Had to pull over, I was crying so hard I couldn't see the road. I still listen to this song and cry...just thinking about him. I hadn't been able to tell him good bye,. That last day, the hospice nurse told me I really needed to tell him good bye and reassure him it was ok to go and that we were all going to be ok. I did....Several hours later I heard my dad take his last breath. I'll never forget that moment. God blessed me with the most amazing dad!

In the last two months he went from walking and working at his car wash to not being able to walk to the bathroom. My father is my best friend and a father figure to my 4 boys, he adores his grandsons and it's not fair he wont get to be there when they get there license or graduate. We went to his house the other day to go through his clothes but I couldn't even bring myself to go upstairs, I just broke down. I cant imagine my life with out my dad.

I played this on 06/12/2018 for my farher. It was very early in the morning. He laid in his hospital bed surrounded by my mother, my sister and I. I told him it was okay to let go, he didn't need to suffer through anymore pain. He worried about us and our futures, he wanted to protect us however he could for as long as he could. We all said what we could come up with as our final goodbyes. My father asked my sister and I to take care of our mother for him when he is gone. Each one of us touching his frail body, my hand in his, my sister's in his other hand and my mother had one of her hands at the nape of his neck and the other on the inside of his elbow. We all cried together that day as this song played on my phone. A few minutes later I got a call from my boyfriend, he had just pulled up downstairs and was asking the floor and room number. I told daddy I was going to go meet him at the entrance and bring him in to be with us, he said 'okay, I love you baby.' My mother and sister tell me that he held on until I could make it there to be next to him, with them, that morning. And that just moments after I left that hospital room, he finally did let go. Rest in peace Daddy, we miss you so much. R.I.P. James Lawrence Jensen 03/05/1948 - 06/12/2018

My Daddy passed November 5th, that same year. I remember that time, the weekend before and of course that day just like it was yesterday. There's some backstory necessary to understand context so bare with me, y'all. That Saturday I took my kids to see him in the hospital hoping it would lift his spirits and do him some good. My Dad had been diagnosed with ALS just a few months before I had my boy/girl twins 2 months early in 2017. My son had a lot of issues early on (@ w months old) that led to him having hydrocephalus and needing to have an Omaya balloon reservoir and VP shunt placed (2 diff surgeries) in his brain and a G tube to feed him. My Dad had just been diagnosed and was already dealing with COPD and skin cancer. I was my Daddy's caregiver bc my rotten egg donor is selfish and lazy and supposedly "didn't even know" that his (my Dad's) G tube had to be cleaned. You read that right, my Daddy and my son both had G tubes and I had the honor of caring for both of them. Anyway, bc Daddy was so ill and weak and my son was so fragile, he hadn't ever asked to hold him. His twin sister would hang all over Daddy (even ripped Dad's G tube out one time, which he thought was HILARIOUS btw) but he was always so afraid of hurting my son or "messing up something on him", which I understood. I know it killed him not to be able to hold him bc my son was the first boy grandchild in decades and Daddy worshipped the ground his grandchildren walked on. Anyway, so at this point (the weekend before Daddy passed) it was a little over a month shy of the twins turning 1 and Daddy hadn't ever held my son on his own. I took 4 of my kids to see him in the hospital bc my husband's crazy ex wife decided to be a Mom for a day instead of just the egg donor she usually is and came and picked up my oldest son. So, we're at the hospital visiting with Dad and Gianna (my girl twin) is jumping all over his hospital bed trying to give me a heart attack from worrying about her pulling his IV or something but he wouldn't hear of making her get off the bed. I went to change CJ (my boy twin) after a feeding and Daddy was waving his arms all over to get my attention. At this point, the ALS had already taken his ability to speak, it was mostly just grunts and undecipherable noises he could make. So I ask him what's wrong, go down the checklist of things he could possibly want and he's getting irritated with me. My father was alot of amazing things but a patient man, he was not. So finally he motioned with his hands like "enough". He pointed to CJ, patted the bed next to him and moved his arm out like a spot for CJ to sit (even though he wasn't able to sit at this point). I said "But Daddy, he can't sit up and you can't hold him." He again looked irritated, pointed to him and grabbed the bed control thing and moved himself into a position where I could lay my son down in his arms next to him. Knowing my father, I knew he wasn't gonna let anything get in his way, he was determined to hold his grandson one way or another. So I did as I was told, and laid my son down on his arm next to him in the hospital bed. He grabbed a hold of CJ's hiney and scooped him in closer. And for the first time in almost a year, he held his grandson as close to him as he could possibly get him for the very first time. I about lost my shit. That Sunday when the hospital released him, I was helping him get in the house and we got to the front door. He couldn't get his leg all the way up to place his foot on the floor inside the doorway to get in the house. So I stood in front of him, put my arms under his and helped lift him so he could get his footing to get in the house. Once in, he didn't let go. He held onto me so tight. At first, it was out of necessity and I asked if he needed help getting to the couch and he shook his head yes. But then I could feel that his legs were coming back to him and he had the strength to walk but he still hadn't let go. He was still heading to the couch but it wasn't really walking and then I realized what he was trying to do. I pulled back from him and said "You sly old man, are you trying to get me to dance with you??" He grinned this huge grin from ear to ear, like the cat that ate the canary, shrugged his shoulders, patted his heart then mine and then pulled me close until we were cheek to cheek. We danced. We moved that way all the way to the couch where we both collapsed. I turned and asked if he needed anything and he shook his head no. I asked if he was okay and he nodded his head yes. I then told him he was gonna be okay, that we (meaning all of us) were gonna be okay (like a we'll get through this sorta okay) and he just grabbed me up and hugged me the hardest he's ever hugged me before in my whole life. My Dad was super old fashioned, children should be seen and not heard type parenting. He wasn't mean or abusive or anything, just not the super sensitive, touchy feely type either. Hugs weren't an everyday or even every week sorta thing to happen, so that made that whole exchange even more extraordinary and precious. Dancing was one thing we would do. My parents would take me with them to the bar as a child when my mother couldn't find a sitter and my dad would always try to get me to dance with him. In hindsight, I think he knew it was time, which is why I think he was so adamant about holding CJ and dancing with me one more time. Of course I can't know for sure but my heart tells me him holding CJ for the first time, dancing with me one last time and me telling him we'd be okay was the thing he needed to "let go". He was tired, I knew he was tired. He was VERY sick and had fought hard but he just couldn't do it anymore. He was a shell of the man that he once was and couldn't do much for himself anymore, much less any of us and I know he hated that. He always hated seeing me do things around the house that he would've normally done, things he considered "men's work". He passed that Monday morning, an hour and a half after I left for work. I'll never ever forget getting that phone call, as long as I live.

I lost my daddy April 3rd of this year. This has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever gone through. And I won’t tell anyone else about it because I’m 22 and don’t need help with my problems.

Sorry for your loss but you really should open up and share your burden of grief with others. That’s not a sign of weakness but a sign of knowing that we aren’t made to face our bleakest moments alone…a sign of maturity really. I’m sure your Daddy would want you to not hold it all in. I wouldn’t want that for my Daughter. You’re not burdening others either by sharing your load so to say, you’re probably making your loved ones and friends hurt more by seeing you suffer internally.
