I'm feeling pretty okay about it. It never really leaves you though.

I remember when my great-grandmother passed away several years ago. I didn't expect—she was looking quite healthy when I last visited her at a post-surgery party—but she was almost a centenarian, so I knew it would happen eventually.

Death's quite something, and it sticks with you.

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

Yeah, beloved ones are hard to forget, I feel your pain.

My dad passed away what will be 6 years ago in February.

...Damn, time flies. I know your pain.

It's not supposed to.

Honor the man, honor the memory, never forget what he was to you.

Above all else, pass on his lessons to the future.

It will be two years for my father in just under 6 months.

I know what you mean about the being okay about it. I still like to take time to think about him and keep him fresh in my heart though.

My condolences man.

Now being the end of the year is a good time as any to remember the people in our lives that we miss.

I can sympathize. My father passed away 10 years ago in November. I wept at his grave for the first time in years - it was really difficult this time, for some reason.

Here's some Game Of Thrones shit.

Gonna make some happy ass threads tomorrow.

Five months and eleven days since my mom died.

It does get easier, at least.

20 years next month for me...

Sadly I didnt know him, he left my mother for another woman almost a week before I was born. He was about 10 years older then her and had a son before me with retardation with a woman he met in Korea.
They even lived about 30 minutes away on the "rich" side of town...while I grew up on food stamps, but he never acknowledged me, saw me, called etc.. He even signed my brother over to the state a few months after he remarried.

20 years ago next month I got a call, I was 13 and they were calling to let me know they found my dad on a dirt road with a vacum hose ran from his exhaust to the inside of the car. His wife made sure to tell me if I showed up at the funeral I would be escorted out by police lol. Still dont know why...not sure if I should question it..but I do.

To top this great story off, I spent this last year trying to find my family...not much luck
But I did find this..

Went there about 2 weeks ago with my son, took about 2 hour to drive too but I just felt like it was something I had to do..
Felt wierd, I actually held my son and said "You know what bud, in 33 years this right now is the closes Ive ever been to my father"

My mother passed away 2 weeks before my 15th birthday. It'll be 14 years in May. I know how it feels to lose a loved one. My condolences.

Eleven years ago here, twelve this upcoming January.

These threads always make me wonder how I would react to losing a parent at my age (26). Don't know that I could handle it, GAF. Maybe most people think that, though. You guys in here are strong -- I hope I'm lucky enough to watch my parents grow old, which is exactly what my own parents were/are able to experience with their folks.

I was 13. It was a few weeks after my birthday. Years later I found out it was a drug overdose.

I imagine it is hard at any age.
