    Today at 8:05 am I lost the man that showed me so many things in life, My father.
    After getting past lung cancer in January He fell ill about a month ago, the cancer had moved into his liver.

    Please say a prayer for him and think of a time you laughed or learned from your father.

    Rest In Peace

    I love you dad

    Thoughts and Prayers are with you and your family. So sorry to hear about your loss. I can relate, as I lost my mother in January after a 5-year battle with Ovarian Cancer. She was a young 56 years old...but we can rest assured that they are both in a better place now.

    I thought everyone had a Dad like mine, I only realized how really great a guy he was when all of my friends told me how special he was to them at his funeral. I think of my Dad every day and he passed in 1995 at 78. I keep all his tools in a special place kind of goofy I know but it's my little shrine to him. When ever a bunch of us get together at some point someone will say "Do you remember when Doug said this or Doug did that or took us all tin hunting." I think I'll go and drive his Model T today.

    Our prayers and good thoughts are with you, family, and friends, who must stick together and go on.
    At times like this I am often lost for words. I think almost daily about what my kids and my wife will do when I leave this earth. At my age, it is only a matter of time, no matter how healthy I am now.
    Remember the good times and spend time with your own family. Too many of us say "I'll see mom and dad later." It may be later than you think !
    I was raised not saying I love you. Even my wife got after me for not saying it to her. I now say I love you to most of my family and friends. I want them to know I do. It's never too late.

    So sorry to hear about your father. My father passed away to damn young (he was 42). I do remember the time we had together when I was a child even though it was short. It looks like you and your father shared a lot of great memories together. Keep his memory alive by remembering him. May he rest in peace

    I am so very sorry for your loss. Have been where you are now, and while nothing can make it feel better now, please know it will get easier. the good memories will slowly try to fill the giant hole and you will catch yourself wondering what he would say or do if he were there and then you will know he still is. Holding you and your family in our hearts.
     
  18. Sorry for your loss, but it sounds like you have a lot of good times to remember him by.

    Been going through hell the last few years since I lost my dad. Messy divorce, bad work situation, bad financial situation. Selling all the cars to pay for lawyers, and taking a bath on my house. Alot of stress and difficult and emotional decisions. I honestly don't think I'd be here were it not for my fiance who is my rock and best friend.

    In 2008, my then 6 year old son gave my dad a book for Father's Day called "Dad: Share Your Life With Me". 365 pages, 365 questions. In 2009, my dad gave the book back to me for Father's Day after he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, which ultimately took his life after 7 months. The book got tucked away in a dresser drawer.

    Two weeks ago, while packing up, I came across the book and randomly opened it. The question on the page was "Dad, what advice would you give me right Now?" His answer, "Nothing is ever as bad as it seems", validating all of the difficult decisions that have been made.

    My dad is in me, your dad is in you, that's what makes us immortal.

    When the World says "give up", Hope whispers "try it one more time"...Godspeed to you and your family.

    My condolences to you and the rest of your family. The fact that you feel such a loss speaks volumes on the kind of man your Dad was. Just remember the good times you had with him and the lesssons he taught you.

    RIP.

    Hello, sorry for your loss. Prayers for your family.

    My dad is in assisted living so we talk each day, I try to think about all the things he taught me.

    Like when my dad showed me how to:

    Do a burnout

    Use a torch for the 1st time

    Helped me build a mini bike

    Help me rebuild a trans that I knocked off the coller ring on a syncro

    Let
