Our Dad
he was stubborn and most of the time a know it all, but he was a great father.
when we we're kids him and mom always did things with us, going to movies, going to the beach and the lake.
I remember swimming in the lake in the deep part and just swimming with no floats or anything just to see how long we could do it. Dad would tie down a big floaty in the deep end for us to swim in to.
we'd spend the whole day.
he always liked to try new things till he accomplishes it. LA marathon, bowling, golfing, ty-kwon-do and truck driving.
He was always so annoyingly happy in the mornings.
One time I had a bunch of friends stay the night. Some on the bed an some on the floor. He came in and flipped the mattress so all the girls on the bed rolled off onto the other girls.
if I needed someone to talk to when I was upset, dad was always rational and would try to make me see there was nothing to be upset about, I'd call mom if I wanted someone to agree with me and be mad with me.
My parents taught us good values. We saw our parents as a perfect couple and parents.
The sudden news that we wouldn't have him around much longer was devastating to our family. He should have had more time, a longer life.
I can't imagine living a life without my Dad.
I love my Dad so much and am the luckiest person to have had him as a father.
I hope he knew how much We loved him

Too many people like to talk about dealing with loss by breaking it down into phases or stages; the idea they have is that once you manage a stage you are done with it.
The reality is that they are more like emotions, and we can bounce around them going in and out of different emotions for reasons we may never fully understand.
Hang in there; there is a path to accepting it, but it is different for all of us.
Gentle hugs, and welcome to the group.
But he's not suffering so I know he's better off.
