Sorry to hear that purbeast. Best of luck in the coming days.

I'm sorry, I don't know what I would do.

Sorry for your loss.

 

[skyking]

I hear you.

 

[GuitarDaddy]

Damn...he was just a skosh older than me!

R.I.P.

Me too! Way too young Damn I've went to too many friends funerals lately, just buried one of my best friends at 55 two weeks ago.

OP stay close to the family you have left, they will need you and you will need them. My thoughts and prayers are with you

im so sorry to hear of your loss. i can't imagine what you must be feeling right now.

Welp today is the 1 year anniversary of his death and I can't believe how fast it went by. It still is pretty tough from time to time. My sister got married last Saturday and it was a very emotional day for all of the family involved.

I'm not in denial or anything, but I still think to myself that I can't believe he is gone forever

Sorry for the bump, it is just on my mind today and I wanted to read through this thread again.

Yeah, the time does go by rather quickly. This Sunday will be three months since my dad died, doesn't even seem that long really. This Sunday is also my birthday and my dad always got me a card no matter what. First year without one. I didn't think it would bother me, but I'm a bit bummed out by it. Oh well, life goes on.

Don't feel bad about bumping this at all. I know exactly how you feel. My granddad passed away a short time ago of cancer, shortly after reaching retirement. He was also too young (only 65).

Sorry for your loss man.

I know it's not the same, but I lostmy grandpa a couple of years back, I had more respect and reverence for him than any other person I've ever known. Was very very close and it just devastated me. It'll be hard, but you'll pull through. He'll continue to live on in your memories.

The loss of someone so long and so close in one's life is incredibly difficult to completely wrap one's mind around.

Time eventually brings acceptance.

The body goes, but the presence remains. He will live forever in your heart. :thumbsup:

This. I lost a grandmother in 2002, and I think our family still hasn't moved on because she really was the glue in the family. We don't talk about her an awful lot, and we don't get together at their house (my grandfather still lives there.) I quite honestly think it's a terrible way, but I'm not that close to my mother's family.

My step-mom's mother passed away last April, and the family has always been close - and we always talk about how she impacted us and such. It's such a stark contrast, and how you embrace the memory they've left you is what will determine how long it will take you to "move on."

Well put.

Sorry for your loss, purbeast0. Hang in there.

I think I know how you feel. Every time there is a family event or you accomplish something in your life you wish your father could be there to see it, to enjoy it. Why did he have to miss out? No fair.

It's healthy to remember, but I will say that even after a year I still welled up with tears when I thought of how much I missed my father. Eventually, I could let that go...

This sounds awfully familiar.

Did I post it before? I might have. ^_^

Dunno about that. I could have posted the exact same thing though. Whenever there's an important event in my life I wish I could share it with my dad.

Me too, important things, creative things. Fun times. Dad was incredibly creative and I shared that with him. Now when I am brainstorming some off the wall idea I can't help but think of him to bounce ideas off of. It has been 22 years but it is still fresh in my mind.

 

[MetalMat]

Sorry to hear that, I lost my Dad last year (November) as well. He was a big influence on my life and was very proud of me. I get down sometimes but I know he would want me to go out and have a good time, he was always the life of the party.

 

[MisterJackson]

Know it was a year ago, but just seeing the thread for the first time. Sorry for your loss.

Hell I feel that way about my hunting dogs(labs) I have lost over the years....... to lose one of my parents is going to be tough. I thank God every day that they are my best friends to this day. May your dad R.I.P. Looks/Sounds like he did a great job!
