Lee, like all the others, my condolences to you. But your Dad hasn't really left. Just look in the mirror and you might see his smile or his eyes thats on your face. If you have siblings, maybe one has his hair and maybe another walks like him. He's left his traits in his offspring so he's still here with you. He's everywhere, just look around. Peace to you my friend.

Lee, I am very sorry to hear of your fathers passing.
Time will heal, though it seems not likely yet.
Best of luck. |

Well, I guess time does help to heal the wounds. Another year went by and I actually missed the anniversary, which was on October 4.Lee |

My deep condolences, Lee.
When my Dad died, it left a strange hole in my life for a while.
But last night I had a dream, and I was with him in Santa Fe again.
Some part of him is always there--I my character--and comes out in something I'll say or do. I cherish when I encounter him that way now. He is always a great man in my memory.

Hey Lee my buddy !!!!!
I remember how embarresed I used to be as a kid and young teenager by my dad....built a cricket bat so big he had to stand on a Step ladder to use it at the cricket match at local show.......many other stories of insanity...called fun......then when I got older ...in Submarines......I realised that my Buddies used to love his company to go to the Pub.....reconed he was almost as silly as me......all that time wasted in teenage years......but ..Oh ..the great times we had together as Men......I was never ever ashamed or embarrassed by his fun right up untill he left us at 80 years of age
He used to be delighted when I could tell one of his mates a huge Tall story..with a straight face.....have them believe me...then deliver the punch line.....he loved to watch their faces !!!!!!!
Lee.....I just remember my Dad as a real Fun Guy......it doesnt hurt any more
You're Buddy

Lee, I understand your loss. My dad died of cancer when I was 19.His last advice to me was to plan my life so that I would not someday find myself old, in bad health, unable to work, and at the mercy of everyone. That advice would mean that I wouldn't always get to do what I wanted to in life, but now that I am old, I am thankful everyday that he gave me that advice and that I followed it. |

My condolences to you Lee. I lost my mother
in 1991. She passed away from cancer and she was only 57 years old. I shall never forget her.[This message was edited by Mike Shefrin on 07 October 2006 at 12:23 PM.] |

Since this topic started I have lost my mother. The pain is severe but time does have a way of helping out. I am sure you still miss your father just as I miss my mother. I know that I think of her every day and I work next to the cemetery where she is buried. I sure wish you all the best. |

Lee, so very sorry to hear of your loss. My dad died in March of '03, just 48 days after I lost my wife to cancer. I feel sure that most will understand when I tell them that I still "talk" to them both - it's how I "get by". GOD BLESS... Jimmie |

Lee,I've been wondering about grief lately because October 4th is also a day of mourning for me. In another thread about mourning, David Doggett got me to thinking that it's important to keep observing birthdays. So as I go through each year, I'm going to be thinking of birthdays. I suspect it might be good for me to let October 4 pass the way I have to let my loved ones pass. ------------------
