My Dad Has Passed Away

[MickeyMomma]

Hello everyone.  Sadly, my dad passed away from cancer on December 7th, my mom's birthday.  He was a great man and the best dad in the whole wide world.  He fought very bravely and hopefully he wasn't afraid or in too much pain.  My brother and sister, neice and nephew, my mother and I were all there with him.  He died in the comfort of his home, aided by Hospice of Southeastern CT.  These people are true angels.  I know they say there are stages of grief, I don't know what stage I'm in right now.  I know I have no interest in much of anything, thought about going to Starbucks today for the first time since after his funeral but drove right past.  Haven't been to the store in weeks.  Had to put on a happy face for Christmas for my kids sake but inside I could really give a crap.  All I want for Christmas is... my dad back.  Please friends, cherish each day you have in this lifetime.  My dad loved life, his kids and grandkids.  He was given his diagnosis and died not even three months later.  That's some scary sh*t right there.

Dec. 27, 2007 at 10:14 PM So sorry to hear of your sad news.  I lost my dad to cancer at the age of 12.  I still miss him today!  It did teach me to know that life is just for today.  You are in my thoughts.
