We walk in the house (we had a split foyer) and I look up the steps and she get's off the phone. I walk up with that I didn't do it look. She put her hands on my face and said, "Baby, your father died today". Now I'm 32 and that day still kills me. I always wished that he could've been there to see me graduate, to see me get married, be there when I had my son and to be here knowing that he carries the name that he passed to me, be there for the guy talks... but it was okay. I just hope that if I go early that my son can remember me the way I remember my father. He wasn't the best guy, Lord knows he had his issues but damn he was the fucking greatest for me !

That day fucking sucked for me. I've lost 3 grandparents, aunts, uncles, and latest a very close friend to and athesma attack no less. I'm fearful of the days that I lose my mother, sisters, friends, if I am still here. I'm more so worried about my wife losing her parents because she has never experienced the death of someone very close to her before.

Give them their flowers while they can smell them, tell them you love them when you can see them, and hug them while they are with you.

Your dad didn't miss any of that he was watching just from a different place with a smile on his face.

I like to feel that way too first. Thanks man. I've told him about everything I just wish that he could've been able to respond. It is what it is. Much like the thread is titled, death sucks. However, it is a part of life. Someday I'll go and hopefully folks will stay laughing through the tears.
I've got something to keep a smile on my face though


This is one of the many songs that have helped me through the bad times.

My dad just had major surgery this past Monday and all I could do was pray I (we) didn't lose him. I have always been a daddy's girl and the thought of him not being here really trips me out. I sat in the chapel at the hospital praying and crying the whole time & promising to of course live a better life if my dad would just be ok. I'm sorry to everyone out there who has lost a loved one-that's hard enough-but a parent, I can't even think about it. It makes my heart hurt. It's agreed that death sucks and my heartfelt sorrow to anyone that has lost someone close to them.

Be true to your promises.....you WILL have the strength and courage you need when it is required.
Hopefully that will be many years from now!

my father died at 47 from cancer. It was the most devestating expierence of my life. It took years before I was able to fully cope with it.

Very sorry to hear about your loss. Lost mine at 43, brain cancer.

It's extremely devastating, but it also brought my family together. We're all extremely close and value life that much more. I can remember my Dad breaking down while looking out the window during the beginning of spring, knowing it was probably going to be his last (which it was)...

Really makes you appreciate every day.

Life's too short to be an asshole.
