I think the worst thing is the fact that now all I feel is cheated. For me and my dad. I got cheated out of the best years of my life with my dad, and he got cheated. God (contraversy) gives you 1 life. and my father only got to live half of it. I mean, who would have thought april 10 1985, his life was half over. I feel sad that I will miss him, miss what he did for me, miss what we did together, and probably most of all, miss our friendship.

You have to remember one thing, Flander. There are alot of people out there that haven't known their fathers their entire life. There are still more out there that haven't spent half the time you spent with your father.

I know you feel bad, but remember, you had a better relationship with your father than alot of people. Treasure the memories, and never forget him.

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.

Make that trip to the lake for your father, every year...




That said, please understand that sometimes the loss is too much to handle, and at times it may seem unreal. If you ever feel like it is too much to deal with, let people know how and what you are feeling.

In life you should always do what you can, when you can, with the people you love. It sounds to me like you have done that, as well did he. Words can not express the love of a father, and when that is gone it hits hardest to remember all those moments. If you have pictures of you and your father, make backup copies of them now. One day, hopefully, you will be able to share just how great of a man he was to your children and carry on his love to the next generation.

Sad news indeed, is the loss of a family member. I wish you all the strength and courage to make it through the next few days, and hope that you can understand that his life was not something in your control.

You have a family here who also cares, don't hesitate to pm me. I have not lost my father, but I face the threat daily due to a damned medical condition that can turn the lightswitch off any time for no reason.
