    Early ;last week my Papaw lost his 8 year fight with lung cancer. He was a great man and taught me a lot. Whether it was fixing things or how to be an honest and loving man. It's going to be hard to know he's gone, but he's not hurting anymore or suffering. I will never forget the stories he told, or the things that we shared. I'm not sure who I'll call for car advice, but somehow I know I'll be o.k. [​IMG]

    Sorry to hear about your dad. I still talk to my dad in the garage. The hardest part about losing someone you love is when you see someone from behind and it looks like your dad or whoever.

    He will always be there with you. When you are working on something and get stuck, he will show you the way somehow....

    Papaw means grandfather to me.
    Was he your dad or grandfather?
    He obviously was someone special to you.
    So sorry for your loss.

    Low, my thoughts and prayers to you man. I lost the only grandfather I knew, at the age of 4. Didn't really know him, but found out he thought a lot of me. I am certain that your grandfather was proud of you as well.

    I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad over a year ago. Just like your Dad, he too taught me many things. As you move forward in your life remember the things he taught you, and make certain you also p*** them on to someone you love. JIM

    I'm very sorry...my condolences to you and your family....I know what it is to loose a dad, I lost mine 3 years ago to renal failure caused by complications of diabetes.
    He taught me what it was to be a great man, hopefully I'll live up to it.
    God bless you and your family.
     
  17. Sorry about your Dad. I miss mine everyday even after 15 years but he'll always be a part of me.

    Godspeed to your Dad.

    Sorry for your loss my friend, my POP's p***ed away in 92 and I still have some bad days when I think of him. I have lots of GREAT MEMORIES but every once in awhile that bad day will get you, but its because you love him so much. My prayers are with you God Bless You I know this month will be very hard on you. But try and remember all your H.A.M.B.ers are here for you

    Dad died in 1988--we buried him New Years Eve day. I got good and drunk and never heard a word out of anybody. There's hardly a day that goes by that I don't think of him. Me and my kid brother talk on the phone all the time about things he said and did. There is a lot of healing in memories--I wish you well and trust in the Lord. Sympathy to you.

    I am sorry to hear of your loss...but as you say, he is not suffering any longer, and is more than likely giving out his advice up above...
    May God Bless his soul.

    praying for you at this time of loss. Lost my grandfather in 73 and my father in 92. The pain never goes away, but it does get easier.
