Empty Boat Seat!

[fisherdog19]

EYEdoctor, May God and your late wife look down upon you and your children and keep you safe. It is a tragedy when someone so young is taken from us, but like you said, she is in a better place now.

May the peace of God that passes all understanding be yours my friend.

<goose bumps reading your post>
My wife had a health scare several years ago, my son was born at 26 weeks, my daughters heart rate nearly stopped during birth.
I went through those periods vowing to never take life for granted again. Well, as time goes on and things get better, I take things for granted again.
I need to go tell my family I love them, and give each one of them a hug.

None of my past pain can match yours, I am sure.
Please, understand that things can and will get better.
PS - That boat seat is not empty. You will have that occupied in your minds eye forever, and keep that smile when you look at it each and every time.
My email is in my profile if you ever need someone to chat with.
<goose bumps again!>

The seat may be empty, but the hearts and minds of those who loved her will never be. Through your children, you will always have a part of her with you. My prayers, as well as all here in FM are with you. God bless, Mark.

EyeDoc, My deepest sympathies on your loss. God Bless you and your family. Thank you for sharing.

EYEdoctor,
May you take comfort in the memories of all the things you, your wife and kids have done over the years together as a family.

My wife and I are both 34 with two kids and I just can't imagine what you and your family are going through. By the looks of this thread, you have inspired many of us to take another look at life and appreciate all that we do have. Thank you for sharing.

So sorry,
ccarlson

EyeDoctor;
God Bless your wife. She will be in my prayers tonight. Also, may God grant you the strength and courage needed to take care of your children.

Hang in there and be strong. Prayer is very powerful when it comes to looking for strength.

I'm also on the southern end of the cities. If you ever need help taking your children ice fishing, give me a holler.

God Bless you!

I was having a had time deciding if I should even post this type of stuff or not, but now I am glad I did. This is such a therapeutic place for me, and the outflowing of support is wonderful.

Thank you all so much. God Bless!

(In loving memory of Rachael)
You meant so much to all of us
You were special and that's no lie
You brightened up the darkest day
And the cloudiest sky

Your smile alone warmed hearts
You laugh was like music to hear
I would give absolutely anything
To have you well and standing near

Not a second passes
When you're not on our minds
Your love we will never forget
The hurt will ease in time

Many tears I have seen and cried
They have all poured out like rain
I know that you are happy now
And no longer in any pain
(I Love You R.I.P.)

eye dr., I see by you profile you are in Eagan. I am close by in Hastings. If you need help with anything, or want to introduce your kids to ours, we would be happy to entertain if you ever have something come up that brings you to our neck of the woods. I have four kids too, ages 10, 6, 4 and 1 ½. My heart goes out to you.

I can't imagine such a loss. My prayers and sympathies go out to you.

[Jim W]

EYEdoctor,

My sympathies!!! Remember to ask those around you for help when in need. Unfortunately not too many of us will be void of such heart ache in our lives!

God Bless and may the lord continue to watch over you and your family as you grieve your tremendous loss. My prayers are with you.

EYEdoctor...

You may remember me as Dan97. A little over a year ago, I lost my fishing partner (Cindy 42yrs old) to cancer. If it was not for the folks here on the forum, I would have gone crazy. Great bunch of people!!! God bless each and every one of you!!!

Maybe your wife and Cindy will hook up and drop a line together. Cindy probably has some great fishin' spots picked out.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and yours.....
