Theres a heap of satisfaction to sit here thinking of you Dad. And to tell you once again Dad, how very much I love you. There is comfort just in longing for a smile from your face. And joy in just remembering your very special place. There is happiness in knowing that my heart will always be a place where you will rest and will always be near to me. All my love to you Dad.

i am sorry to hear of your loss. i lost my father and brother. even though it takes a while for the hurt to go away, as time goes by it gets just a little bit easier every day.

its been 33 years for my father and 17 years for my brother. i still find myself getting choked up every so often.. always keep a part of him in your heart.

Even at my advanced age, the loss of one's father is a very emotional thing, perhaps even more than the loss of Mom.

I seldom got along with my Dad; he never had the time for me or my brother until he was forced into retirement by an injury, then became more of a pest in his efforts to be a helpful and attentive Dad. That lasted until he was run down by a drunk and needed a care giver, which happened to be my brother who gave up his career to help Pop. I was so involved in my career and so self absorbed back then, at least until Dad began suffering his strokes. His passing was inevitable, but once he was gone, I truly regret all of our missed time and think of him often. He was only a few years older than I am now, and I have suffered 4 "mini-strokes" already. I have no son to pass anything on to. I have no son to care for me once I can no longer care for myself as my brother did for Dad. I guess that old quote from the roaring 60s is true: "what goes around, comes around!" I was not the son I should have been.

I'll add my prayers for you and your Dad. God bless you, your Dad, My Dad, and even my brother who cared enough while I was out in the world.
