I'm sorry to hear of your loss. In just over a week I will be taking a trip to honor my wife's father's last wishes. He passed away from complications due to cancer as well. It will be a year this upcoming October. I know exactly how you feel, just a month before it happened, he was up and active and joking. We were talking about how in less than a year he was going to walk his daughter down the aisle for our wedding.
It is hard and doesn't get much easier. That said, remember the good, the happy, and the fun. As hard as it was, I know from the bottom of my heart that at least in our case he never would have wanted to see us sad. So that evening we opened a few finely crafted beers, had a New York style pizza, and laughed and joked... and even cried a little. Don't mourn his passing, honor the life he led. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Your thoughts are so very true, and I agree 100%. That helps me out greatly, and it's much appreciated. I definitely plan to relive our best memories together over the past 27 years. My family will be gather at my house this Sunday for a sort of informal memorial. Food, fun, plenty of children, laughter, jokes, and sharing our greatest memories of my father. I mean, great memories are the only memories anyone has. He lived only to selflessly help others and make others happy. Thank you so very much, RJOberg.

Sorry to hear that man, and you're right. Life is a gift. We take it for granted all too much.

We definitely do. It's very easy to take it for granted, and that's part of being human. Only the lessons in time can teach us to appreciate life more than we already do. It's a sad part of reality, but in the end, I think it's worth it. Thank you.

Losing a parent is tough. I lost both of mine (5 days apart) over 15 years ago. Mother to cancer, father to a broken heart. It took many years before I had my first day without a painful memory about those days.

Sad to hear. My father walked into the hospital laughing and joking and died of congestive heart failure 7 days later. Be strong in this very rough time.

It's amazing how quickly things can take a turn for the worst. Thank you, Slacker, and I'm sorry to hear about your father.

Is he out stocking up on beer and pretzels ready for the new series of his favourite children's program tomorrow?
Or is he *shock!* *horror* working?
I think we should be told! 
You looking for sympathy?
You'll find it in the dictionary, between sympathomimetic and sympatric

Apparently he hasn't been rescued yet from his office after I superglue'd the door from the outside and cut the main power supply off.. :evilgrin:
Whether I think I can, or think I can't, I am always bloody right!
