So my sister just got flowers delivered...

[flybye70ss]

I know I mostly lurk here but I just wanted to write somewhere. My dad passed away last Saturday and the Valentine's day flowers he ordered just got delivered to my sister. Now shes even more of a basketcase. I feel so helpless and heartbroken for her, and just want to try and make her feel better. Any ideas?

That's tough to deal with but I would try and look at it as a sign that he will always be with her even in death.

wow man.... sorry to hear. may your pops rip.

god bless.

My heart goes out to your sister & you & your family!

I think it is pretty awesome actually. She knows he was thinking about her and loved her. How often do you get to deliver a message like that after you're dead? Pretty fucking cool if you ask me. Sorry about your father.

Absolutely. What you should do from this point forward is send her flowers every Valentine's day but from your dad just to remind her that he's still there.

I don't think I've ever agreed with you more on anything.

Now that sounds like a terrible idea.

I could not possibly agree more. That is amazing. She should be ecstatic, it's the most touching last gesture I've ever heard of. Condolences to your family.

I agree. I think that it would bring the memories back in years to come of how much he thought about her. It would warm my heart if my brother or sis were to do that for me.

Sorry about the loss of your Dad.....

As for ideas, just invite her over and make dinner for her. She won't be in public if she has a breakdown, and won't have to see all the couples or families sitting around sharing the day. You could send her flowers every year, but not in your father's name, that was a pretty bad idea.

Or, if y'all are in the Fort Worth area, bring her out/send her out to Flip's tonight (Western Center/35). We'll be hanging out and shooting pool, and no leghumpers will be there. We'll be there 7pm-???

^This!!!!!!!!!!!!!


OP, Sorry for your loss BTW dude!

Yeah, nothing would cheapen that memory more than an obviously fraudulent attempt to duplicate it every year.

Another in agreement. It should be a special moment for certain.

I was going to be the first to post something to help you console her, but I couldn't come up with anything.

I think ol' Taliwhacker hit it perfectly.
