SheikYerbuti Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I'm very sorry to hear of your loss max. I can't remember the name of the song but it has a line in it about the singer's father getting old and the father's "song was in my soul". Your father will continue to live in your soul as long as you live. The leader of the band is tired And his eyes are growing old But his blood runs through my instrument And his song is in my soul My life has been a poor attempt To imitate the man I'm just a living legacy To the leader of the band. Dan Fogelberg Sorry for your loss Max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 It has been a crazy 24 hours. I'm sure it won't get any easier anytime soon. Connor (my 4 year old) kept calling pap pap in his sleep. This morning he said "pap pap came to see me last night". We asked what was said. He replied, "pap pap said goodbye". I fully believe that happened. That's the type of man my father is. No matter what, he will find a way to take care of us all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theprofessor Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Max- I am so very sorry about your loss. The loss of a father is very tough, especially when they are as influential in your life as yours seem to be. Know that your Dad went in peace and is resting comfortably now and know that he is so very proud of you. His legacy lives through you. Prayers sent for you and your families comfort in the difficult days ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was great talking to you today, albeit I had the weepy's going the whole time. It's the price we pay when we have a great DAD and then lose them. I feel for you deeply. If there is anything I can do, don't hesitate to call. Deal w/ this the best you can, remember him always, take care of your Mom, and just keep his memory close. Peace again my friend!

PSULions Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. My dad is 77 now and is great health, but health can be a fleeting thing and tough to endure when you see your dad deteriorate the way he has over the past few weeks. Will be thinking about you and your family, just know he is in a better place now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday Couch Potatoe Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) God Bless you and your family. Your Dad is at peace now and not suffering. I lost my mom 1 and a half years ago to colon cancer. I know how difficult it is and will be. My advice to you is always keep him alive in you and your family. Talk about him and the great memories you had together especially with your little ones. My sons talk daily about my mom and I think it has helped out immensely. I miss her every day and know how it feels so you will be in my thoughts and prayers for we have alot in common. The loss of a HERO Well wishes my friend and you can PM me anytime if any questions arise as to feelings situations I would be happy to help with any advice or just a "it'll be ok".

max Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Thank you all for your kind words. It means a lot to my family and I. It has been the hardest week of my life. I was amazed how many people came to pay their last respects to dad. We had a one day viewing and over 300 people showed up. It put into perspective how many lives he touched. During the viewing a friend asked me if I was going to be ok. I said to him, "look around at all the family and friends that are here. How can't we end up ok. They won't let us not be ok.". I wanted to tell you that everyone in the huddle is included in that statement as well. I had the honor of delivering dad's eulogy. It was difficult to keep it together but dad helped me through it. I was proud and honored to have that opportunity. As hard as this week has been, it was a nice celebration of the life of a great man. It is still hard but is comforting at the same time. I'm sure dad is smiling up in heaven. Thank you all again for you support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
