Is he late or dead?

 

[shortylickens]

Late and dead.

10 years as of October 1st.

 

[Joe1987]

Sorry, anniversaries are tough

 

[cavemanmoron]

I feel your pain.

My Dad passed away a year ago yesterday, on my Birthday.

My dad passed in 2006. Still miss him.

You work around it.

 

[inf1nity]

wow dude aren't you still in college? such a loss...

 

[purbeast0]

i feel you man, my dads 4 year death "anniversary" was in august and i still think about him daily and still miss him

 

[slightlyhuman]

my thoughts to those who have lost parents. i dread the day. absolutely terrified of it.

:rose;

He would have been just shy of 70.


And it made me decide something. I am done feeling sorry for myself. I been on a blue funk for just about a third of my life and theres no damn reason for it. No more excuses, no more anger, no more lashing out, no more cheating, no more slacking.
I am done with that nonsense. Gonna get a decent rest. First thing in the morning I jog a mile, whether I actually can or not. Then a shower, then shopping for groceries. Will visit the storage locker and pull out all my exercise gear. Any time I'm sitting around not studying is going to be used for something helpful, loads of extra pushups and situps if thats what it takes. Routing jogging, maybe even some time at the water center since I'm a GMU student and still aint been there.

And I'll start reapplying for jobs that have previously turned me down. School is making me nuts and I'd rather flip burgers next semester.

My problems end tonight. I seriously doubt my father would want to look on me 10 years later and see what I've become.

while this isn't the same, it does make me sad that my dad couldn't see how well i am doing now . i'm just glad that he got to be part of my wedding and that i have pictures of him there having such a great time.

 

[shortylickens]

Yeah good stuff is nice to. You want to share it with somebody.

All right then, my goal is to lose 100 pounds by next christmas and get a job.

I've already started, threw out the soda, got some water, turning in early, starting a real exercise program.



SEE YOU IN A YEAR!!!

Sorry to hear that. I'm not sure which would be worse, my Dad passed away the Wednesday before Father's Day. I was going to send him a card that day like I do every year when I got the dreaded phone call from my Mom

 

[mizzou]

wish I knew my real dad


:internet hug:

 

[skyking]

I got into the briefcase of dad's stuff today (I needed his SS number) , sad as hell for a while. Read a letter from him to his mom when he was in the Pacific in WW II.
But yeah, I'm with you. I got over my brief funk.

 

[Pardus]

My dad died in 2002, mother in 2003, it doesn't get easier with time.

 

[gooseman]

I lost my Dad 47 years ago. I was 3. I miss him every day. I won't say it gets any easier but you will adjust and learn to live with it. Just know that as long as you keep him in mind, he will always be with you. He's watching over you and he IS proud of you.

 

[skyking]

Hey gooseman

 

[BudAshes]

My dad died when I was 16. Honestly the death part wasn't so bad. Watching him devolve mentally and physically until he was barely a person you could recognize, and just seeing the complete lack of dignity you get afforded in the end made me think death was truly a mercy for him. Sometimes I feel like laughing when people say what a tragedy suicide is, a real tragedy is when a person dies inside but continues to live a tortured life, forced to drag all of their loved ones down as they slowly approach the abyss that is inevitably waiting for them.

This is why I don't tell people what I'm really thinking.

Reminds me of the joke in Iron man 3

"Wheres your dad kid?"

"He went to the store to buy lottery tickets...That was 6 years ago, guess he won."

I've had similar thoughts. Men rawr. My Granddad would roll in his grave if he saw what became of 20-30yr old 2013 men.

I'm going to miss my dad soon. He's a shell of the great man he used to be.

And I'm going to miss my mom soon too.

Memories are ghosts; they haunt.

 

[DownTheSky]

I miss my dad too.
