Brokenarrow - My prayers & condolences to you & your family. My father is still alive & we are great friends also. This year I lost 2 customers that were both great women. One of them was 62 & the other one was 87. The 87 year old was very close to me. She had no children & lived by her self. She was a tough old women. She was the last of the living in here family. She was like a grandmother to me & I miss her. I was the last person she spoke to before she died. I experienced the same situation where I called & called & new something was wrong. I finnaly went over there & she was to weak to get off the floor & answer the phone. I new it was coming. I had been watching her decend in health for a few months. She also new it was coming & told me excatly how she wanted to be handled once she died. I told the lawyer what it was she wanted since he had to arrange everthing because there was no family. Have peace knowing that your dad has a family that loved him & misses him deeply.
- Steve

I am sorry to hear about your dad. I do not know what to say or to offer. I am fortunate to not have to go through this situation yet but I know the time will come at some point.
I know it has to be hard, but don't be afraid to cry that is the best way to relieve some stress and heart ache.
I wish you and your family well. We are all here for moral support if you need it.

My condolances as well. On a positive side, he was able to enjoy a full and rich life with you not just as a son, but as friend and neighbor. I'm sure he enjoyed that as much, if not more than you. It's ok for you to be a bit selfish and take a few minutes by yourself to remember the good times you had together.

Brokenarrow: my family and I send our condolences. I understand what you're feeling and what you'll have to deal with. The only thing i can add to the good advice you've already gotten is to not beat yourself up too bad. You'll have a tendency to 'blame' yourself for something...you coulda done this, you could said that, etc. It's natural to feel some guilt but usually without merit. It'll just be one of the many things that run thru your mind. Enjoy the memories of your time together. Once again, the thoughts of myself and my family are with you.

Brokenarrow: I also have just read your post and am sorry to hear about your loss. Please accept my condolences! It is a very difficult time for you and your family. The pain of your loss will ease with time. Just remember the good times that you had with him. We are only here on earth for a short time and have to accept it.
The important thing to remember is the close relationship that you had with him. Make absolutely sure that you have this with your children! In his passing, you now have a great responsibility as the patriarch of your family. I'm sure he taught you well!

My thoughts and prayers are with you also.
I can't imagine losing my father, unfortunately I had to live through something nearly as bad. I had a massive heart-attack at a young age and had to see the look on his face as we waited for an helicopter to airlift me out to the hospital and then the long stay in hospitals.
We are now even closer than ever.
Just remember, we do not lose those that we love, they just go before us, to be with those that they loved, and to make a place for us in His Glory.
Your friend, Ted.

Thoughts and prayers from the Beagles.
I lost both of my parents in an automobile accident two years ago as they were on their way to visit us at our vacation home for a Fourth of July weekend. They never made it. The last converastion I had with my dad was confirming the family fishing outing in our boat for the next day. There was no fishing outing.
My youngest son was in the car with them, he had stayed back to give them company on the trip up. He walked away from the accident without a scratch. The good Lord works in mysterious ways.
We feel your pain.

Brokenarrow, I'm very sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad over 25 years ago and it still hurts sometimes. I suppose that's good though.
