Just wanted to thank you girls for all the prayers and hugs.....haven't been on LIW in a few days...
Unfortunately FH's dad did pass away on Friday night. He was really suffering at the end so we were really praying for God to take him. We were all at his bedside with him when he died which was really nice...so sad and hard though.
FH is Jewish so we've been sitting shiva all week and tomorrow - Thanksgiving - is our joint Thanksgiving Rehearsal Dinner...it is now a triple Thanksgiving / Rehearsal / Shiva...just moved location to FH's mom's house where we've been sitting shiva.
And our wedding is on Saturday...can't believe it is here...just a few days away.

It's been a tough week but we're all hanging in there. It's hard having to bury your dad and get married all in the same week - my heart breaks for FH and his family but they are all really looking forward to celebrating at our wedding which is what his dad wanted us to do.

Just wanted to give an update and thank you all again for all the support and prayers!!!

We've postponed our big honeymoon....just too hard to go away right now while we're still mourning and grieving. We want to go when we can fully enjoy ourselves - hoping to reschedule for March. We are going away locally for a few days right after the wedding so I'll be in touch after that with pics!

Thanks again!

I am sitting here in tears. I cannot imagine what you and your family must be going through. It sounds like you are all staying strong and that your wedding is actually helping FH's family get through this rough time.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all!

What a sad story..I cant even begin to imagine all the different feelings you are having right now. Your father is now in a much better place where he is no longer suffering, and he will be looking down on you from heaven when you celebrate the happiest day of your life....dont worry...he will be with you in your heart on saturday.
