I lost mine (veteran of Okinawa and Korean War, etc.) in 2002. I know something of what you’re going through. We will pray for you.

So sorry. May the good memories of him give you comfort.

I was in a fog for 2 weeks when my dad died unexpectantly.
God bless.

Condolences, but drinking won’t help. It will actually hurt.

Hey. You did right for many years. Drink. Get Drunk. Then get busy living. Sounds like your Dad stood up for his country when needed, and you stood up for him. Godspeed.

I’m so sorry for your loss. You remained close to your family, giving back till the end. Must have been a fine way to grow up. My time will come in the next few years. My Dad being 84 and all.

Take care of yourself. It will be alright.

When I thought of my parents while they were alive it made me smile.

It still does.

Sorry for your loss, but try to think about them being together again. Prayers for you, it ain’t ever easy when they leave us (parents, grandparents, any of them) but they’re waiting for us all, and one day, we won’t ever have to say good bye again.

Sincerest condolences to you and your family.

Your Dad is with God now.

I lost my World War II veteran Dad in 1974 and it’s never easy.

Prayers up for you, FRiend.
My Dad died in 2011. I’ll tell him to keep an eye out for yours. They’ll have a few laughs together.
All my best. Stay strong. He’s in a better place.
