My dad died tonight.

I was holding his hand when he stopped breathing.

on a side note: I was asked to help pay for the funeral three times this evening by my step mom and her daughter. two of those times were while he was still alive.

Andrea, I'm sorry. You're in my thoughts.

Andrea, I'm so sorry. I cannot fathom what you must be going through right now. My prayers are with you...

I'm so sorry. My thoughts are with you. It was good that you were with him and holding his hand. I don't know what to say really but I had to say something

I know I can't say anything that anyone else already hasn't, but I'm keeping you in my thoughts as well. It's hard for me to grasp how difficult something like this is since I haven't suffered a deeply personal loss, yet and I can only imagine. Hang in there. I hope you get through this all in one piece.

I'm so sorry. My thoughts are with you right now.

And the side note, that's incredibly tacky, disrespectful and terrible. Just... ugh.
