My dad died 30 years ago.
I still miss him.
God bless you, Geron. Weeping with you...
My heart goes out to you. I will pray for your family as I am sure you must all be in shock.
Yet what a blessing to have the memories of good father live on inside you and to know that he loved you so much.
May those memories and God's mercy bring you comfort.

GeronL,.... I am so sorry to hear of your loss, my prayers are with you.
You are already a better person for having said those things, Geron. Your papa was a good man if he taught you to love.
As for not knowing how you can get along without him, you will find he is still with you when you need him. Really.
Prayers up for your Dad, and especially for those he left behind...
sigh I hit post instead of preview.
Your Dad came from the stars, and he's Home now.
Stay strong, he'd want that, I think.
>>I know I am not the man you wanted to be. I know I have been too lazy, too fat and too much of a dreamer. I always have been those things.<<
Please, from someone who lost her parents in her twenties, please understand that you were all your Dad wanted you to be. You were a child who loved him. Many parents don't have that.
I will pray for your Peace my FRiend. Your Dad is watching you now and loves you more than ever.
Time heals all wounds. I know you don't believe it now, but neither did I. It really is true. The hurt will go away and the love will remain.
My condolences. I lost my mother last Wednesday. Funerals are for the living and although I had a few waves of intense grief, I was able to let go. I also reconnected with members of my family who I hadn't seen for decades. In the end, Mom brought the family closer together.
My Dad died many years ago and I still pray for him every night.
May God's blessings be with you each day. Thanks for sharing your Dad's life with us.
So sorry for your loss - my prayers are with you and your family in this difficult time.
I'm so sorry about your beloved Daddy and your story really touched my heart. Your Daddy had much to be proud of in a son such as you.

God bless you and comfort you in your time of grief.
