Lost my father in 2010 at 63. We had a troubled relationship but I loved the man. They turned off life support and I got to go in and say a last few words. I am sorry for your loss, I know the pain. Remember the good times and keep his photos around, it will help. Be strong not only for yourself, but for all those around you, they will feed off of your strength. Your father will always be with you in one way or another.

I´m gutted my friend.
I´m yet dealing with my fathers death and that went 5 years ago and i must say that the love&respect that you showed in your letter brought a tear to my eye.
I wish i could wrote something like that but sadly i never had a good enough relation with him to even feel it, very sad place for a son to be in.
So you can imagine what i mean when i tell you that you and your father are the lucky ones, you two together built up something that will last forever and will bear fruit for generations to come.
Me, i´m just a sad twat that never took the time to reach for his own father.
May you&family and loved ones grow even closer on these hard times.
My mother passed away 3 decades ago and there's a not a day that I don't have a thought of her or for her....my Dad passed away a few months ago, and when it happened I was warmed by many similar heart felt comments in this thread from relatives and friends, but one that I had not heard before that rang true to me, as I'm now a father, was "Keep in mind that in an ideal world, it eventually becomes the duty of a son to bury his father, in the most tragic of worlds the opposite occurs.
sorry for your loss,,,my father passed 4 years ago with asbestosis-related cancer,,,i wish you and your family all the best at this awful time,,must be a terrible shock,,blessings and light,,944s2
You have my sympathy. My mother died in August. Life will never be the same. You have the memory of that person to guide you even in the darkest times. Stay strong and grow a plant with your father in mind. Peace.
Sheesh. Extremely sorry and bummed to hear. I can't even imagine - best wishes to you and your family. Like so many good members have posted already, your father will always be with you & a part of you - and that's something that can never leave.
KW31 my condolences . I lost my dad to a heart attack he was 73 & it shook me to hell so I know how you are feeling .
It hurts like hell but I can tell you that not a day will go by that you do not think of him the pain will be just as bad but it gets easier to bear . In time you will find that thoughts of him bring a little smile rather than a tear to the eye .
