Hardest thing I've ever done.

Sorry about your loss. My dad has been gone about eight years now and I think of hime every day. Yes, it was the hardest thing I ever did.... So foutunate to have had him in my life for all those years. You will always have those good memories and the things he taught .....

 

you can lose everything you own and rebound but losing family and freinds stay with you forever.i lost my dad in 99 still seems like yesterday.sorry for your loss

 

As long as you have grease under your finger nails he is never gone

 

My condolences.

 

Family is never off topic. Hot rodding is more than just cool cars its Family we share them with weather ther blood or not. Take pride in yourself and all you have done, your father did and you are his legacy. I am sorry for your loss.
Hold you family close as they need you as much as you need them.
My prayers go out to you and your family

On a lighter note but tough to do was to sell 2 potential projects for scrap because of my health. I now have one project that I will finish,good lord willing.

 

First off- My oppoligies for your loss. I've been in your shoes,and it will make your head race like nothing before. I had my my father sitting next to me at my mothers service,but when I was sitting by myself,and actually stood up and spoke,I would say that was the HARDEST thing i've ever done. Everything ever since then is childs play. I wish you the best,and be strong.My hearts out to ya.

 

I've been there bro...my condolences. It's been 8 years for me and though I don't think of him quite as much, there are always moments that catch me off guard and choke me up. Hang in there...it'll be rough these first couple years, but you'll learn to accept it...

 

My condolences to you. On a lighter note the toughest thing I had to do was sell 2 possible projects for scrap due to my health. I now have one project that will get done.

 

So sorry to hear about your loss - I haven't lost my dad but I did lose my grandfather who taught me just about everything I know vehicle wise. It'll be 11 years in November. I can't imagine what you're going through now. Prayers to you and your family. STAY STRONG

 

Our dads live on in us just as we will live on in the ones we love.

 

Praying for you.

 

Peace be with you, my friend. Thoughts and prayers from my family to yours.

 

A little different but my mother passed on july 1st. She always wanted a 1959 cadillac. Me & my brother located one and began a cosmetic restoration. Every year I would improve or fix something on the car. I cussed that car out more than any car of my own. However, I knew every time I drove that car out of her garage she had tears in her eyes. BTW, she never did drive the car. She was happy just knowing it was in her garage. I drve the car to shows & boy was she proud when it would get an occassional trophy! This year I got the car out for the first time this year on the day of her funeral. The stupid car ran perfectly after sitting all winter (which I swear never happened in the 22 years we have owned the car). I knew she was happy to see her car one last time. Rest in peace Mother and thanks for putting up with us grease-monkey kids!

 

Thank you everyone for the kind words.....it was a lot better than I could have imagined. He was a well liked man and had many friends. The honor guard did a wonderful 21 gun salute and I wish to thank anyone who has served and ask anyone with a spare buck to donate to the V.F.W. I cannot express enough thanks to the men and women that give there time to honor fellow Vets. Thank you all again.

 

Diamond, condolences to you and your family, It will never get easier, but everytime you touch something he has worked on, or do something he taught you, a piece of him will pop up and help you remember the good things............prayers for you and yours..........

 

Hang in there I will say good by to my brother Wednesday. I know how you feel.

 

Hang in there, it gets better. It has been over 31 years since I lost my dad. He was not a car guy, but I still have the first new car he ever bought, it was my first car and the start of a lifelong love of Model A's. I still have him in my heart and ask myself now and then what would he think about actions I am considering.

 

Push in the clutch, shift into gear and keep moving forward as your dad would have wanted. Please accept my condolences for your loss. It's never easy.

 

Been three years for me also ! This is one club i dont wish on anybody n it never gets any easier but your gunna hafta learn to cope! Youll hurt at first but start to feel lil better when they say you got your dads laugh or sense of humor! Wish you strength n love of family get you through this hard time n remember you got us losers for your back up!

 

Sorry for your loss... Been 9 years and think about him every day. Just today my wife me and two close friends sat on the very site where we scattered his ashes on the beach in North Myrtle Beach. It was his favorite place.

 

I can't even think about the day I have to deal with that. God Bless you and your family.
