Awww sweetie... -hugs-

Just know that one day you will see him again...and you will be happier when that time comes...I will be here for you if you need comfort and talking to...

Thank you, everyone. ^-^ You're kindness helped a lot. Though I now understand why, to an extent, that God willed the best way for him to heal after 14 long years of nonstop, terminal pain. And I still know he is by my side even now, until we meet again. ^o^ I may be crying frequently now, but I will gather my bearings, remember his love for me, and the tears will subside.

Thank you so much, friend. ^o^

Wow Whaley, I'm so sorry. I can't even begin to comprehend how much it hurts, but I'm crying with you. Still, I'm happy to know that he has moved from this life into a greater and eternal one with our Father! ^-^ God bless your family in these hard times! I will be praying for you!

I'm so sorry! Just know that you are loved and we care about you so much! This sadness won't last forever. Your amazing and know that everything will be ok!

Thank you tons, @Fady and @drangon! X3 -hugs-

I'm so sorry for your loss... I hope your dad's resting easy, bless his soul.

I've said it once before but I am Wiskersclaw And Paws, I'm so sorry for your loss, i can't even begin to comprehend what your feeling. It sounds like your staying positive and I hard times that's the best thing you can do, dying is a part of life no matter how sad it is, the person who died is in a better place now.

I'm so sorry...He is no longer in pain, he is with the lord and is at peace, he can watch over you now.
You are very brave, and very kind, god bless you hun.

Thank you all! ^-^ @Monomo Yep, death is indeed a fact of life. Though I feel that it was absolute perfect timing, when he had suffered so much, and I was finally able to bear his no longer being physically present in my life when the time came. Yet that of course doesn't mean it's not still difficult, especially since I'm still a kid, but I'll learn as time progresses. Nonetheless, this is a big step forward for me. Further emphasizing on what a jewel life is and never to take things for granted, nor waste time squabbling over trivial matters.

Oh, and thank you once again for your sheer concern, Monomo. ^o^

Hey, my dad and possibly my little brother are now praying for you guys too. x)

@Fady Oh my goodness! ^o^ That's wonderful! Tell them I said thank you!

Well, his funeral's today... My family and I will take off in a few hours.

That's tough... I'm crying with you

Aww... -hugs- Thank you, Ceta. ^-^ I know all of his weight has been lifted. And as for my family and I, some of our daily burdens have been elevated in a sense as well; there's no longer a need to be anxious at the fact that we could lose him any second, and the majority of money my immediate family makes (namely my mom)will not have to go towards medical expenses now, thus allowing us to cover basic needs more efficiently. Truly a sign that God wills things when and where He does for good reason, keeping all of His creation in mind.

But you've also just lost your father. That's got to be a burden

*hug*

I hope he finds the peace he deserves in God's eternal garden, my thoughts are with you and I wish you the best in these times to come, I'm here if you need someone to talk to or sympathize with.

I lost my Dad last year, I know the pain very well, to have to say goodbye for now. But I live with what he'd taught me, though they were painful lessons, I hold my memories of him in my heart and I live on knowing one day I will see him again when my time comes. I hope you can find solace in these difficult times <3

@Blood Thank you so much. < : ) I'm glad I'm not alone in having lost my dad recently, but of course I sympathize (and now empathize) with you. Prayers and peace. ^-^
@monkfishlover Thankies... <3
@Ceta Oh, but it certainly does hurt. :3 I'm constantly swinging between periods of grief, acceptance, and areas in between. While I know the pain and sorrow will become easier to bear over time, I am aware that I'll never ever get over it 100 percent in this life. And grieving is important: it shows how you loved that person.But I know my daddy also wouldn't want me to be sad. ^-^ I can be happy for him and continue to live up to his expectations: to maintain joy, care for family, friends, and others alike, get a good education, and just live my life.

Re: Thank you!

How have you been?

おはいよ、すてきなひと！！ ^0^ おげんき です か？
Sorry, testing the Japanese online keyboard. XD This is how people in Japan get kana and kanji to pop up in place of romanized letters.
Translation for the phrase above: "Good morning (it's early in the morning in Japan right now), lovely people! How are you?"

Re: That's so cool!! So when are you gonna publish your manga? XD)

Re: Haha, I hope you can get those new pens! Also, happy birthday!! Had I known earlier, I would've made you a present! XD And I'm glad you're enjoying school. x)
Good hearing from you!

I am more afraid of an army of 21 Douglas`S Squirrel(s) led by a Axolotl than an army of 21 Axolotl(s) led by a Douglas`S Squirrel.
(I'm so sorry. XD I was doing an ad-lib thing and this popped up;I sort of needed to preserve this golden quote somewhere.

re:// i was wondering how to update the dern thang, m'self. i'm getting annoyed with it. >:T

re:// oooohh.... okay. the way you update flipnote is by going to your eshop and clicking on settings in the menu, clicking on downloaded applications (or something like that) scrolling down until you find flipnote and selecting update. i did it yesterday. :p

Re: Ahh, hey Whaley!! Good to see you again! :D I'm glad you're focusing on school. I do hope this collab will be fun and will turn out well! Definitely asking for the Lord's blessing on it. X'D
So how have you and your family been?

Re: That sounds pretty tough Whaley, but I'm so glad you're approaching this in a Godly, forgiving way. If anybody, God can give them peace and rest, so don't stop praying! I'll be praying for you and your family too. x)

I have been very well! My faith has taken a shift toward the better after I started attending this Worldview Analysis class. Basically, we examine big beliefs like Secularism, Postmodernism, and Marxism; figure out how and where they influence society and our beliefs; and learn how to discern them to protect ourselves from their damaging effects. The class is an eye-opener, and my teacher has been an encouragement concerning our relationships with God and our missions of rescuig the lost.
Overall, it's been very healthy for me. x)

Yeah, I agree. Secularists claim to be free of religion, but they act religious in the way they cling to and defend their beliefs.
I've never heard about these false Christian denominations you speak of. It's sad that people will call themselves Christians, yet they follow unnatural beliefs and rituals. Another reason why it's important to be able to distinguish between right and wrong.

Re: Thank you!!
Oh no, that's not fun! I hope you'll feel better soon! D: I'll be praying for you! x)
