lost my dad

Share this page

Dads are tough to loose. But he is with his Buds now. Just think of the stories.
 
My sincerest condolences to you and yours Anthony.I know from experience that the death of a loved one is hard to console, but it does help to know that you are not alone in your grief at this time.You have a an extended family on this forum that shares your pain and grief.

Our prayers are with you and your family.
 
anthony...losing a family member is always tough..time will heal the loss but hopefully never remove the memories...I'll say a prayer for him.
 
They say "time heals all wounds". Not true. But you'll always remember him in so many ways.

When I was in my 30s, my dad (WW2 vet) died of a massive heart attack while mowing the lawn. I got to his house and found he'd been putting things in boxes, each marked for me or my brother. Seemed to "know" it was coming.

Very sorry for your loss Anthony.

I am sorry to hear it Anthony. Our thoughts are with you! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/angel.gif
 
I empathize with you, Anthony. There is a special bond between fathers and sons. I still think of my Dad.
 
Condolences. I lost my Dad back in 1963 when I was 12 and he was 43. He was WWII also. That memory still hurts 45 years later.

Think positively that you got to have him for the 80 years that he was here. I'll bet you have a lot of great memories.
 
Sorry to hear, Anthony. I am very sorry.
May the Lord strengthen you and uplift you
now and always.

Sincerely,
 
Condolences. It is hard to lose a loved one. Remember always the good time you shared. They will help get you through the sad times to come.
 
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time
 
to all, it is comforting to know i could share this sad knews with my forum friends, your heart felt reactions are most appreciated, my family and i thank you all. "ill be beck"
 
I have a picture of my dad the day he shot an elk:
September 23, 1998. He is so happy. You can just
see it in his face. Always an avid hunter. The elk he
shot was massive....estimated to be 1100 to 1200 pounds.

I can reach out and touch his picture of him smiling
so warmly with glee. He looks down on me from that
picture and greets me every morning.

I never liked killing anything in my life, much less
a poor ole animal in the wild. Dad was brought up on
a farm milking cows. Killing the chicken or the pig;
butchering and cooking for him was a way of life.

He'd say to me: Son, you see a beautiful, graceful-walking
deer in the wild as you look with your naked eye; but I,
on the other hand, see a rack of steaks hanging there,
as I look through the scope of my rifle.

Always a respecful hunter in the wild. I love you, Dad.

Anthony, I could not help but share this, as I think of
my dad. I hope you not think me selfish.

May God bless you and comfort you,
 
Anthony;
My sincere sympathies at the loss of your father.
My father died when I was 4 years old. 43 years later, a man approached me and asked if I was his son. He then said my Dad was the nicest man he'd ever met. I'm sure a similar incident is in your future. This is when he will tell you he never really left you.

It just goes on. We're here, They aren't.

Soon enuff we're not and the rest are.

Give 'em th' stories and th' love.

All of us go around th' wheel...
 
Anthony , I cannot read all the post on this topic as it is still to difficult after 27 years that I lost my dad and 17 years that I lost my son. I just want to say I feel for you!
 
2wrench, great story! my brother and i would take our dad hunting we bought 50 acres in up state new york bordering state land loaded with deer, bear, cats, even wolves, we would set him up in the best locations dad never shot anything always snoring or smoking. great memories all.
 
Good Morn`n Anthony,

I feel your loss as my Mom just passed on 1-14-08. She was 84 & deserves a long earned rest. My dad had passed on in `91 suddenly (Massive Stroke while sleeping). I suppose if your going to go; Thats the best way!

Ironically, The exact same situation with my Mom. In nursing home; Rolled out of bed & the catscan found a ton of blood on the brain. Options were to operate or just let her be in peace. I chose; "Let her be in Peace". She left us comfortable and without any pain. (4:04am).

Such is the life of us "Baby Boomers". We need to care for our Children as well as for our Parents!

May "God Bless",

Russ
