Awe man, I'm really sorry to hear that. It sounds like you have extremly good memorys of your Father, sounds like he was a great man, and Father. My condolences to you and your family. He is in a better place now. Rest in peace.
Sorry to hear about your Dad.Sounds like he was a great guy,and he left you some great memories.The HRM story was a good one.
Sorry man-- time heals the pain, the beautiful memories will live on forever. Do something cool in his memory
Very sorry for your loss, I to have felt your pain, nothing on earth quite like loosing your best friend and Dad! For me the void 4 years ago was filled by motivation to do things I've never done before ( see pics of what his spirit helped me build by my self) and work with my dad looking over or beside me every step of the way! Rest a sure, you will talk to him more now than ever before. The hardest part for me is rationalizing the correct way to do something (my dad was a damn good mechanic to) now that he's not here!
Jerry--so sorry about your loss. We buried my Dad New Year's Eve day 1988. Think of him every day--your Dad will live on in YOUR memories. RIP---Marty.
Sorry To hear of your loss . I just had a disagreement with dad the other day. I guess I to go work it out. I just got word my ex-wife mom passed last night.
I too have a frame of reference for what you're going through, like something is literally missing from inside you. Your heart is broken and your guts are wrenched. Man it hurts...bad. But, consider if you can, it's the only real down-side of having people in our lives for whom we care so much. Time is your friend. Best wishes and deepest sympathies.
I got a phone call from Mom on Christmas 1996, that Dad was in bad shape and she needed help getting him to the doctor. He went downhill for a couple weeks and passed. I can't go through a Christmas without reliving it. Mom got sick, 7 years later on Christmas, and she passed on also.... My dad was the greatest car guy and a good mechanic. I miss him greatly. I suggest that you get some of his tools and add them to yours... Every time you use one of his tools, he will be "helping" you on a project. Maybe this just sound weird to you but I found it extremely therapeutic... It really felt like he was helping me... still does... I loved the magazine story! I don't know you but I feel for you. I know how it hurts. My fathers death made me wonder why I didn't spend more time with Dad.... Hang in there, it gets better with time...
Heart-felt condolences to you and your family. It's hard to lose someone you love anytime, but it is especially worse during the Christmas Season. I lost my Mom during Christmas 1963 when I was 18.It made the Holiday Season a bit of a struggle at times.
We are going through our first Christmas since the loss of our son (my best friend) last August, and can fully relate to your grief. It never goes away, but it does become more bearable over time. Treasure your memories think of all your blessings in spite of your loss. I am so grateful that my son and I knew how much we loved each other, and it sounds like you and your dad were the same way. Please accept the heartfelt condolences and best wishes from one who's been there.
Be strong brother, all of us here are thinking good thoughts for every one in your family and hope you find strength in the friendship offered here. ~sololobo~
Jerry... May the Good Lord bring you comfort and understanding during this time of loss... Cherish all the good times that you and your dad shared.. God Speed...duane (NM Sandrail)
Man sorry about your loss but I lost my dad in 97 but he is with me everyday my dad was a car nut if had not been for him I might be golfing or fishing but instead am here with all you car nuts. You will always have your dad. His blood is yours I hope your dad did not suffer . Just think he,s doing the 1320 with his buds now bent over a fender dropping wrenchs and skinning knuckles !!
Jerry, My deepest condolences on your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to all your family and friends. My mom passed this past June so unfortunately i can relate to your pain. Stay strong and keep thinking of the good times. Tony
