My deepest sympathies. I lost my dad in 2008. The hardest thing to date I have had to deal with.

CJ, my sincerest condolences on your loss.

It's been a long time since my Dad passed on, 20 years this year. He will never leave you, trust me.

If it helps, sit down, clear your mind, and re-read his obit you posted and look at the wonderful legacy he left us - all of the children with families, 15 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. What a blessing for him and his family.

Be at peace my friend.

You have my heartfelt condolences.

I lost my father last year and it still seems surreal.  I feel like I should be able to pick up the phone and talk to him.  I miss him.

Hang in there CJ. I've lost way too many loved ones way too early. Somehow I feel like they're with me all of the time. Just look at what he and your Mom started. Be thankful for the time you had with him. What a great legacy! God Bless You and Your Family. My prayers are with you.

I really, really, hate to hear that for you. It's going to be tough for a while but there is strength in the Lord.   Not too long ago I had my cell and thought I'd call my daddy...he's been gone for over four years now.  He passed on 16 Dec.  It rained Christmas Eve night and my Mom was worried in the morning about the dirt settling on his grave so I was there break of dawn Christmas morning to move dirt over.  I had a really good conversation with him that morning....the Bible has examples of an open heaven from now and then where those who have gone on can witness what is transpiring...I think that was one of those times.

CJ, could not read the obit, but none the less, this is hard stuff, at least it was for me, dad is still going on at 80, Lost mom at 60, just 10 yrs ago tomorrow, good stuff has been said here, and I herald it, He will live on in your life as you lead it, and pass his legacy onto your kids, and or family. Still leaves an empty hole in the spirit where He used to be, Physically. Try to fill it with the younger family, getting to know the nieces and nephews and let them know what your dad was all about, and allow them in to fill that place.

May your father sit at the right hand of God, and share coffee with those who went before him, that he cared about.

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. I just wanted to show you all a card two of my grandchildren made for me. Katherine is nine and Luke is three.

CJ,

I haven't been on the forum much lately and I missed this somehow.

Please allow me to add my condolences.  As you know I went through this not long ago.  It does get 'easier', especially as you catch yourself 'sounding like Dad' and seeing him not only in yourself but in your off spring as well.

CJS3,

You and I are in the same boat.  I just ran across this today.  Holes shaped like Dad don't fill easily.  Words are nice but don't begin to do the job so I won't try.  I will  pray, however.

I am embarrassed to admit that I missed this until now.  I am so sorry for your loss.  There is no more special relationship than that of a father and son.  Please accept my heartfelt sympathy, and know that both of you are remembered in my prayers.
