Hey all. It is my sad duty to announce that I lost my father Wednesday night. I was at home alone with him at the time, and he felt he had "indigestion". Then he lost consciousness. His heart stopped and he stopped breathing. I had to lift him off the bed. I don't know if anybody knows this but I am a "little person" as I prefer to be known as. I have a form of dwarfism. So lifting him off the bed wasn't real easy. he is six feet tall and 180 lbs. I had to perform cpr and mouth to mouth resuscitation . It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Typing this was really hard. Before this I didn't really know what it meant to lose a parent but its hard and my sympathy is with all of you that have lost parents. My dad and I were close, so close in fact, that we were just finished packing for the lake on friday. If he wasn't working, we were at the lake in the summer, and every year we had a father son trip. He was a great dad and was proud of both of us kids. We were his world, and what everything orbited around. He was at all our sporting events and supported everything we did. My mom was the apple of his eye, and was the first and last woman he dated. He passed at the ripe old age of 47 and had 2 clogged arteries in his heart. I can't talk about this much more but the funeral is monday. I will talk about it more in a few days when I feel better.

My condolences and deepest sympathy to you, your siblings and your mother. I dont think spelling corrections will be necessary under the circumstances.
I lost my father last october, 2 days after my 40th, 4 days after their 51st anniversary from a heart attack on the golf course of all places....
I know your pain, but remember it is all about your mother at this time, and she will be needing your support above all others.
Do what you have to do, and we will all be here when you get back.
My prayers are with you............
 
I am so sorry for your loss ... i lost my dad at 52 and i was holding his hand while he passed.. so i can really Sympathize with you :(

what helped me get thru that traumatic time,was too know that he wasn't suffering anymore and to think of all the good times we had together...

please feel free to talk to me anytime in private if you like.
 
My condolences and deepest sympathy to you as well. I lost my dad in 1985. I was with him when he passed too. From what you say, it sounds like your dad didn't suffer much. That's a blessing in itself. My dad had colon cancer, and was in lots of pain for the last couple of years.

Just be strong, remember the good times and know that your dad is in a better place.

God bless you and your family.

God bless,

I'm sorry to hear of your loss, and I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I lost my Dad a few years back as well. You are really lucky to have had that kind of relationship with your Dad. My Dad and I were as close as to people could be, and more importantly we were best friends. We built hot rods together, raced together (drag racing), went out to cruise nights and car shows together, and when Dad would come down here (he lived in another state but I spent at least every other weekend with him and made it a 3 day weekend), he would even go out with me and all my friends who were car guys, and none of my friends had a relationship like that with their Dad's. I'm not trying to change the subject, just give an example of how close we were, because I know that you guys had an outstandingly good relationship as well. One thing that helped me deal with the loss of my Dad without getting angry, was that I knew that very few people in the world have a relationship with their fathers like we had, and I was VERY thankful to the Lord for allowing me to have a better relationship for 17 years than most people have in their entire lives with their fathers. I'm glad I saw this thread when I did. I'm getting ready to go to church (I'm Catholic, so I go to Mass), and I will be praying for you and your family, but more importantly, I will light a prayer candle for you guys, and one for your Dad, and there will be lots of people, priests, and nuns praying for you all. If you ever need to talk to someone who's been through something similar, feel free to shoot me a PM.
 
My condolences and deepest sympathy to you, your family and close friends. I can relate to your closeness with your father because like Charlie I have raced with (and against) my dad. Still play top division hockey with him and have spent the most of my fun times in his presence (honeymoon excluded). One can only hope and pray that your family and friends will group up and support you through this hard time.
Just remember while mourning his passing make a point of celebrating his life and remembering all the good times you shared with him.
Regards

i am also very sorry for your loss. i can't imagine what it must be like ... but it has to be difficult. i will also keep you and your family in thoughts and prayers.
 
I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. Sometimes it seems like life isn't fair. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Like others have said, it is a time to mourn his passing but be sure to celebrate his life and the good times you shared. It sounds like you had a great relationship with him and that is more than a lot of people get. Take your time and we'll be here when you are ready to come back.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to you and your family, flandersander. These posts always sadden me because they bring back memories to me and many others, as you can see.
However, it helps to show what a unique forum we have when our members feel the need to share their most difficult times and know that really good people are here to help them through.
 
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I will be praying for you and your loved ones for this difficult time.

God bless my friend.

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this tough time. If you need anything, and I know I speak for everyone here.... We will do the best we can to help.
 
Thank you all. One thing I would like is for monkey to say something. Him and I have had our differences and fights but I wanna be friends with that guy. He is a great guy I know it. I had a similar relationship with my father to you charlie. We were fishing buds, hunting partners, and most of all, best friends. We always did things together always.
 
I'm sorry to hear about your loss, Flander. My dad and I are fairly close... We don't hunt or go camping, but every once in a while we do go fishing. There's also the fight nights on HBO and Showtime too.
