Watch for little miracles in the near future, often noticeable only to those of you whom knew your father well.
It's really awesome.
My condolences, but he's still with you bro. Just wait for the signs. :)

hang in there puf
I'm hoping you have lots of good memories to reflect on.
my father passed 3 days before christmas over 10 yrs ago.
I think of his wisdom and how it has faithfully guided me through the years
and try to pass that on to my children


I still dream of him

I lost my Dad around Christmas of 1997. He fought brain cancer for 14 months, and died at 58 years old. I held his hand, and felt his heart stop.
That was the most intense experience of my life, and I have been "around", as they say.
There was no silence as great as when I drove home from the funeral home that day, and sat on the couch in his house looking around. I can't honestly say what I did for the next few months. It is basically missing time from my life. The good news is, I am a hundred times stronger than I ever knew, or would have believed, before that happened. I think you will find the same, as time goes by. I don't cry over his headstone anymore, but not a day goes by, that he isn't in my mind.
I no longer celebrate Christmas. I just can't get into the mood. I hope your experience is different, but at the same time, the strength and self awareness I gained, far outweighs a holiday.
"I'm sorry to hear it" sounds so lame, but what else can humans say to each other, when faced with such pain.
I will say I have walked in your shoes, and I thought I could never survive his loss. Now I am a stronger man, and I love my Father even more than when he was alive.
All the pissy "Father Vs. Son" crap most of us go through went away in his last few months. We were just two human beings who loved each other. One leaving too soon, and one desperately wanting him to stay. I am only left with the good memories, and the memories of the mistakes I made.
His legacy is being passed on to my children, in hopes they become better men than I, or even my Father.
I think Dad would be proud.
Hang in there!

Puffinstuff420,

I wish you the very best. What people did on this earth and the impact they had on others never dies. I think this is the true form of reincarnation in a sense, that the actions and impact we have on the world and other peoples lives, live on after we are gone.

Of course we know, everyone has their time - but it's always hard. But I'm sure anyone who has passed, would want people to think of them and all the good memories they had and feel blessed for the wonders that life brings, rather than constantly feel despair - every new day is defined by the actions and outlooks we take. There is so much beauty in life to explore - we should take our good memories with us as support for knowing what other incredible experiences in life also await us.

Sending you good vibes.

My Best Regards,

Bi0hazard

Puff.. sorry for your loss man! Yesterday was a tough day for me as well! I lost my dad 2 weeks to day day before christmas day in 1984! He passed of a massive heart attack in his sleep! I had dreams that he was going to die before it happened so I went to where he was living and got to spend 2 weeks with him before he died! that was 27 years ago in december. Yesterday was very hard for me because I have'nt been able to go see my kids for 7 years now! I have 2 grandchildren I have never met! They sent me text messages and I got to talk to my 20 year old daughter last nite after she got out of the hospital from having a seizure! When I read this thread It brought a wave of emotions and tears to my eyes... I miss my children but can't do anything about it because work has been hard for me to get because of illegal's taking my work! Just remember the good times you had together and cherish those memories! We all cry when we loose the ones we love! Im truly sorry for your loss! Im sending good vibes to you bro! Sneeky

My thoughts are with all of you sharing your experiences. Thank you so much - and thank you, Puffinstuff for having the grit to get the ball rolling. Very tough but very beautiful facet of humanity being expressed.
