Update on dad

Friday September 12th 2008 at 5:30 am dad lost the fight with his cancer and passed away in his sleep. He leaves bhind his wife, 6 children, 14 grand children and 4 great grand children. He is badly missed by all though we understand he is out of pain and he is at peace.

Wednesday he was trying to get out of bed, which he was no longer strong enough to do and my little brother with the help of my sisters bf stopped him. Dad then told the second oldest to get him a switch so he could beat some kids asses, meaning little bro and the bf. That was dad, even in while dying he had his humor in tact, the two "kids" he wanted to beat are 40 and 35 years old, lol.

That is how I'm dealing with dads passing I am remembering all the 51 years I have known him, some good some bad, but when you look at everything dad done during his 75 years he was an amazing kind man. I hope someday to be as great as dad was. Thank you for listening Cheerful.

And rest in peace to your father. Sounds like a good man.

He will be missed.

and best wishes to you and your family. May your Dad rest in peace.

My thoughts are with you and your family. :hug:

I know the heart ache in heavy. I'm here for you........ Cherish the memories....your love from your father has been indeed a great gift; pass it on to the little ones.:hug:

of his faculties to crack a joke. That's wonderful.

I believe that whenever you laugh and remember the good times, they know and feel that wherever they are.

He still loves you, and he still knows you love him. :hug:

I lost my dad to cancer also. He was 64. That was 14 years ago and I still miss him.

the most profound "changes" us children (no matter our ages) can go through. I hope you let yourself cry like a baby as often as you feel the need, while you continue to hold the good memories of him in your heart.

Thinking of you and your family.

I glad you had him for as long as you did though. He sounds like he was a great dad.

I lost my mom earlier this year. Regardless of the age we are when we lose a parent, it's not easy.
