Stay Strong Man..My Friend Died Last Monday and I know how you feel. Your father will be watching over you now. I too am a Christian, despite the fact I listen to death metal. Your dad is in a better place now. Keep it strong man.

[quote name='tonybologna' post='1944772' date='Apr 28 2009, 03:56 AM']Hey guys! I've not been around for a few days. My dad passed away this past Friday due to complications from cancer surgery. We as a family are in shock because for the first 8 days after surgery he was recovering so well. This is the absolute hardest thing that I've been faced with in my whole life. I will depend on the Lord to get me through this. This is just a total shock to me.

I just seen him the day before he developed complications & he was doing better than expected. I'm just so sad & overwhelmed right now with grief. He was only 66 years old & was a strong man. We just thought he would always make it through anything because he was so strong & a fighter. I will never get over him but he'd want me & my entire family to keep the faith & go on with our lives. It's just so hard because he was loved by many & never met a stranger in his life. He made many friends & always has been a family man. I cry as I write this & please keep me in your thoughts because this is truly the most difficult thing I've ever faced. Thanks![/quote]
i dread the day when this comes to me....i love my mother and father so much.......i almost cried when my dad was lecturing me and said he missed his mother and father so much...that one day he would meet them above again...i almost broke into tears.

That is some brutal stuff...my dad always told me to keep strong.

[quote name='SPH73' post='1948888' date='Apr 29 2009, 09:06 PM']I also think you should know that your first post proved somthing to me. In it were little signs that your Father had raised you well. You are a polite, obviously kind, and decent person who expresses himself well. That is a testament to your Father's life. He will always be with you. And every time you succeed in life he will share in your victories. And someday, you will see his reflection in the eyes of your children.[/quote]Very true, and very nicely put SPH73. That's a beautiful sentiment. I'm sure the same can be said about you, and your father.

Verry sorry man. That is one of the worst things that can happen to anyone. My mom passed awhile back. Although its hard and you never forget. It will get easier to deal with. My thoughts go out to you and your family. Be strong man and I don't know ya, but if ya need somone to talk to PM me.




It's always the good ones...

Guys! I really appreciate all the prayers & concern. I know God will get me through this & my dad would want it that way. He's looking down upon me right now & giving me strength to get through this time. I'll meet him another day & that is some comfort for me. He was a very strong-minded man & allowed God to guide his life. We will stay together as a family because that was his wishes. Thanks again for all the prayers!

I feel really bad for you but dont worry i bet your dad is always gonna be there with you helping you with everything you do in your life

Rest in Peace

Man he is in a better place right now and he'll always watch you and I know is hard but dont cry cuz I'm sure he want you to be strong and happy in your life like him
