Paul my deepest condolences :0 I know how you feel. I had to say goodbye to my Dad, 16yrs ago he was only 47. He had a long battle with cancer and the last time he went into the hospital, he said he just couldn't fight anymore, I'm tired and want to go to sleep. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. If you need an ear you've got my#.

My deepest condolences Paul,



Just know that our fathers will always be with us, their words will resonate through our minds for as long as we live.Theywill be missed, but never forgotten. My father passed away 14 years ago, and I still hear his advice and humor, in my heart.



I will keep you and yours in my prayers.

Sorry to hear that, Fix.  I know how it feels.  My father passed away a year and a half ago, brain tumor at 56.  My father in law died of cancer at 46, 2 weeks before the wife and I were married.  I miss them both.

I won't tell you it gets easier, you know as well as I do that that is a crock.  It does get easier to remember the good times, though.

I hope he went easily and peacefully, and wish you and your family the best.

Life moves so fast.  It was just last week you and I had a life's talk which included your dad and boys.  Our talk then included the ever so expected, but never desired part of life, death.  I'm sorry to hear of another of your losses Paul.  If anything good can to come of it, maybe it will help bring you and your boy closer.  If you need an ear, you have my number.

Make that call, Tat2d.  Never regretted a time I talked to Dad, but now I regret the times I didn't.

I know what you're goin through Paul. I just lost my dad this past March. It's a hard deal to go through. It's still hard, but it gets easier over time.

: DanoInTx March 28, 2008, 09:34:28 AM
Hey Paul give me a call if you pass through Texas on your trek West.  Or just give me a call to chat if you'd like.  Either way keep in touch so we know you're ok.

I lost my father before I really knew I had one.  It was 9 days before my 6th birthday, but the few memories I have of him I keep real close to my heart.  Keep those memories close and that person really never goes away, or at least that's what works for me.  When times are rough I still talk to him in thought, and somehow I usually find my way through whatever my problem is...they're still there, just not in the same way.

Take care airbud,

Paul buddy,



I wouldn't tell anyone what to do, but I'll tell you that no matter how far you go you will never out run the memories of your dad. I lost my dad 14 years ago, and I think about him often, and the fond memories of my youth. All that I can say is think what your dad would say. And I think he would tell you life is for the living, so go out there and live your life.



I wish you the very best Paul, in what ever you decide to do, go with God !



Bill

Sorry to hear that Paul.  :0 I don't think any of us are ever ready to say good bye. My Dad is battling cancer as we speak and he's only 55. I'm not ready. Going AWOL is ok as long as you remember you will never out run it will always be there but a break is definitely in order. Good luck and be safe if you take your journey. Again I'm sorry.

Paul, you have my deepest condolences.  I can only imagine the grief you are feeling right now but please hang in there.  Although you will always have a sense of loss, friends, family and  time have a way of helping all of us cope with the passing of a loved one.

: Dave1899 March 28, 2008, 01:44:23 PM
Paul...Prayers are up for you and your family...I know how you feel as I lost my Dad 15 years ago and the first thing I thought was I lost my Go To Man.  Well, now we are the Go To Guy's for our family.  Cherish your memories and pass on his wisdom to those that need it and you'll do your Dad proud.
