RIP dad
Just stopping by to let those who care know that my dad passed away quietly early Saturday morning. My mom and I were with him.

He was my hero and the most significant relationship of my life. He will be unspeakably missed.

:cry:

10. From the very bottom of my heart, my thoughts are with you.
I am so sorry. I am so sorry for what you are going through.

Any advice you could share about your experience, as painful as it must be, might be helpful to others facing this.

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your experience here.

15. Thank you Mike
And everyone who has offered their condolences. It means a lot to me.

I will share some of my experience here one day soon, from cancer and hospice to the moment of death and the arrangements. I will not be online much over the next few days but will need a place to process this myself in the coming weeks.

I can give one word of advice that has nothing really to do with death and that is make time in your life for the people you love. There is never enough so try to appreciate that which you are given.

:hug:s

And peace to all.

18. I'm sorry.
Sometimes I wonder about my own feelings when someone I care about dies. I don't know how I'll feel with any of them. I can be a cold bastard, but I can also be a warm hearted guy who gets it. I'm sorry you're feeling what you're feeling, and I hope that the memories that remain are good ones.

:hug:

21. My heart goes out to you. I lost my Dad this past December
and I will miss him forever. We are all 5 years old again when we lose a parent. No matter how well we "know" that the day will come, someday, we are never really ready.

Your kind words have been a great comfort to me. Right now I've just got to keep moving but I will save this thread to add to my 'box of memories'.

Thank you again.

49. When you're in the grocery store...
and it seems like your feet are made of lead.

And everyone around you is moving and working
and shopping and you feel like YELLING:

"Don't you know the WORLD has stopped!!".

Remember that, for a while, it did, for
everyone who posted here, that has lived
through the death of a father, and how we
hurt for YOU right now.

Time is the only healer. You will always miss
him, but there WILL come a day when you can
walk by his picture and laugh for the remembrance
and your luck at having had him for a parent.

:hug:
