Sorry for your loss

I just talked to my mom a little while ago. It was an aortic embolism that killed my dad. There is not going to be any service, and his remains will just be cremated. As best I can tell, none of my brothers nor sister are requesting any sort of service.

Damn sad that a man could alienate his own flesh and blood so much that they don't really have any desire to say any last goodbyes....... I think that saddens me much more than his actual passing.

Rich, I am so sorry for such the belated reply. Nevertheless, please know my heartflet condolenses go out to you and yours for your loss.

I think someone already said it, but regardless of the relationship you had with your Dad, he is and always will be your Dad, blood is thick and it never thins no matter what might happen between father and son.

Again, I am so sorry for your loss my friend.

I am probably the worst person in the world when it comes to expressing myself in words, but I am sorry for your father's passing. I believe that with the death of a parent, no matter what your relationship was, a part of you departs this world with them. I lost my father many years ago, and my mother died in my arms last Monday..I loved her dearly...I hope one day you and your dad can mend some fences......

My condolences, Rich. Losing a parent is hard, no matter the status of the relationship between you.

It's OK.

Went down to see my mom this past weekend, and the subject of my dad hardly even came into the conversation. He chose to become only a memory long before he died.

Thanks everyone.

My condolenses Rich.:nonod: I had the same situation with my Mom. We always bumped heads; never really got along.

But when I found out she was dead, to see her in a body bag........I have very little words. It's an awful thing to go through and you are never ready for it. I ended up getting her headstone tattooed from my shoulder down my arm as a form of closure (which is really an overused word) and rememberance. You always have a piece of them with you.......count on it!;)

Very sorry to hear about your loss. I was lucky and had a good relationship with my dad. He has been gone for a long time now and a day doesn't go by when I don't think of him. I hope you will be able to remember the positive things about your dad.
