My Father,Cars,and his fight with cancer....

I know how you are feeling i lost my only sister to leukemia 2 years after our mom p***ed, stay strong and be there for him and the rest of the family. if you can do it get him out one more time, my bro n law would not listen to me when i wanted to have some friends come over and thrash and get their a bone done so she could have a ride in it before she p***ed, now he can't even begin to try and finish it. prayers are with ya.

 

I lost my Dad last year just before christmas so I know first hand how hard this is for you... If you can get him out one more time in his car and take him for a ride.... what I wouldn't give to have been able to do that with dad.... you and your dad will be in my prayers. Be strong and don't fear tomorrow for God is already there, and he will be there for you and your dad.....

 

That's rough man. We went through that with my uncle. Hang in there.

 

My thoughts and prayers go out to you.................take advantage of the time you have..................RP

 

Ya bud, these are tough times. My prayers go out to you and your family. Enjoy the moment.

 

Prayers for your Dad. I understand exactly what your going thru and hope for the best. Ho****e is a great organization to deal with.

 

Thanks everyone this means a whole lot to me right now.You think your ready for the inevitable ,and its been coming a long time but reality hits real hard.Thanks

 

Prayers going up for all in the family....Your wife is definately a keeper and she know's how special your dad is to you! Keep the faith , I will be praying for strength to all through this time....Take him for a ride and tell him how special he is and always will be!

 

You are in our thoughts and prayers. I hope you get to take him for a ride.

 

Prayers sent for your dad and the whole family as you go through all this. Lost my Chevy mechanic dad to cancer in 1982 and my fiancee in 2005 to pancreatic cancer. It is never easy to lose someone so close.. Enjoy the memories while you still have him...and keep an empty seat in your ride next spring... You know he'll be with you in spirit.... God Bless you and your family....duane

 

be strong,
my Dad held on till i told him it was time to go and within minutes he p***ed,but he is still with me every day.
can't wait to see him on the other side

 

be there every minute you can, my mom fought cancer for 14 years before loosing her battle 8 yrs ago. my dad got hep c from a blood transfusion in the 80's and didn't find out until many years later.
lost dad 2 years after mom. he was also a car nut, they both loved all the good memories we had growing up, and it made it easier having those memories to help me heal after they were gone.
i cherish every minute i had with them especially the good. i miss them every day asyou will your dad but always remember all the memories.
my prayers go out to you and i feel your pain.

 

I agree 100%

 

George Sakeman, you have a good son. May your journey be worrysome free . When we meet on the other side I want to hear about your 48 Stylemaster.

Rattlepopbang, I can't tell you how to feel but I know. Peace to you all in this time. I will tell you my uncle who p*** 5yrs this month loved riding in my 47 Chevy. I really think it was them rap pipes.

 

Sorry to hear about your father's situation and the pain that you and your family are going through. I am glad to hear that he is getting ho****e care. That care is intended to make the final days of his life as comfortable as possible. Most ho****e providers also offer (free) grief counseling for the family. I hope that you don't mind my suggestion but if you possibly can do so I suggest that you take up the offer of grief counseling. It helps people heal more quickly and teaches them how to focus on the good times and memories.

 

Hang in there! Sounds like you have a real good dad. Ho****e is key in these hard times. Prayers sent.

 

This is rough to go through and I feel for you and your family. Knowing that the end is nearing is unspeakably difficult but being there for him means comfort for him and no regrets for you. I was there when both my father and grandfather p***ed and holding their hand as they p***ed was the highest honor. Hang in there.

 

I lost my dad 2 weeks ago w/no warning, so comming from someone thats there now I wish you the best.

 

Even when you know it's coming, your still not ready! My Pop's p***ed in '05, all you can do is keep him comfortable & pain free.
Prayers are coming to you and yours.

 

I agree with DBruce keep him comfortable and pain free dying with dignity is important . I lost my Dad three years ago and I understand your heart ache.
Here is what I learned from his death be happy and good things will happen,
and Iam sure that Riv will remind you of him and happier times.
Stay strong for your Dad and family , Rob.

 

Prayers sent.

 

Thank you all very much this means so much to me!You folks are great I didnt think I would get half the kind words ive got.Thanks to all of you for real ill never forget this.

 

Cancer is a *****, sorry to hear about it and try to keep your chin up.

 

Damn so sorry man my heart and prayers go out to you and your family

 

Rattlepopbang, I am so sorry to hear of your father's condition. All together too many folks are p***ing due to cancer.
I am very glad that you are able to spend time with your dad. Enjoy these days and remember them fondly in the future. I was not close to my dad, but apprciate what you and George had time to share together.
All the best to you and your family during these trying times.

41 Dave

 

So sorry to hear of your fathers situation. try to make the best of the time you have left. Bless you and your family.

 

Prayers to you, your Dad, and the rest of your family.

 

God Bless you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

 

Sorry to here about your father, and my prayers go out to you and your family. I stayed with my father for 3 months before he died with me holding his hand. Right afterwards I had a vision of him in a pleated white robe, running and laughing through white clouds, and he looked like he was only 42. Gave me comfort to know that he was not suffering anymore and in a better place. Be sure to tell him that you love him. Take care.

 

Prayers go out to you and your family. Good to hear that you're going to spend as much time as you can with him in these tough times. Take no minute for granted.
Sidenote:
I'm amazed at how much strength and support The HAMB brings to it's fellow members. It's truly a pillar when times are heavy. You can't find that just anywhere.

God Bless.
