I cant say i know how you feel, but you are in my prayers!

CTT...My deepest condolances to you and your family. Lost my dad on Jan 1, 2000, and it still hurts. Wish there was somehthing I could say to ease the pain. :sad: My prayers are with you and with him.

Charlie,I'm sorry to hear about your loss.prayers to you and your family.
Although you do not know me I will tell you that you will recover and your life will most certainly go on.Time is the only thing in this world that heals the hurt you're feeling right now.the hurt will definately go away in time and what will replace the hurt will be your memories of your Father.surround yourself with your family and close friends for support and you'll find comfort with them.
In 1986,in a 2 month time period,I lost both of my parents and it was the absolute hardest thing I had ever dealt with.no words could ever describe just how badly it hurt because they were amazing people. but the same words of advice that i have given to you were given to me back then by an elderly family friend and every word he spoke to me ended up being very true,the hurt doesn't last.

sorry to hear about it charlie be strong you have a family too to look after

Like Ridge, I lost my dad early too...only 4 when he died so I really don't have any memories....so you got it all over me...spend time remembering his life and the things he did FOR you and the things he did WITH you...be glad you had the time w/him you did and like RKC said, help your mom thru this..she was with him longer than you, knew him from a whole different perspective...mourn him...miss him...but dwell on the good times and the things you learned by being his son...

Best to you and your family...

i guess we're all getting to that age, lost my dad 16 months ago and my mom 2 & 1/2 years ago. like stated above, take care of your mom. my dad was in relatively good health, he just lost his drive after mom went. she'll say she's fine, but keep her busy and in the loop. i think about my parents every day, woulda , coulda , shoulda, etc.

once again, sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear!! I have no words of wisdom here as I have both mom and dad, but they getting old, mom 73 dad soon to be 75.

As you know my mom is on the way this year if the Doc is right and I am already falling apart watching her going thur the crap!

prayers sent!!

Condolences from our family to yours

My condolences my friend.
I lost mine when I was 17, you do not ever get over it. I find I think about him still at age 57 just about every day in some small way.
You learn to cherish memories.
Be as good of a man as he was for your kids.
But you will think of him.
In the end that is not a bad thing.

I'm sorry to hear this bud ... but I know exactly how you feel ... I still cry when I'm alone it makes me feel better.... my dad passed dec 10th and I don't think any of us get over the loss of anyone passing.

Hang in there for your wife and kids and especially your mom.
