I'm sorry for this loss, samjam. It aches and takes time.
I know it's not the same but maybe talk to him anyway, maybe you are.
It's comforting. I have gotten to be an expert, 23 years for Pops this Sunday.
He talks back to me when I empty my thoughts. His essence remains with me.
Loving is a powerful thing. It truly does bond us between worlds.
Smile he always loved your smile When you've had a great Dad,
when you are a great Dad life is complete and a celebration.
I can't even fathom loosing my dad, there is no one in my life I respect more and get better advice and wisdom from

Neither could I, and then....
Cherish every second you have. I'd literally do anything to have my father back, he was my favorite person on the planet.
Thank you for the kind words, all. It's been hard recently, for no apparent reason, which is usually how it goes. Just creeps up on you. Still semi in the denial stage, the tears start flowin once I realize I will never get to physically see him or talk to him again, and who knows what actually lies beyond that.
And, just found out a very good family friend is in the hospital, and it's serious. Just turned 18 years old, I hope she gets better quickly. Man.

Just passed 30 years since I lost my dad... he was the greatest... Do yourself a favor and write down everything you loved about him, made you laugh, made you angry, etc. because no matter what you remember now it starts to fade and those great anecdotes get merged with something else and you lose a little bit of the escence of him and your relationship. Now the other thing (which is a lot easier for you because of these times) is get every picture, video, audio recording or whatever else reminds you of him and back it up, store it make copies, put in safe or whatever... whenever you have a family of your own, you are going to want to share what an amazing dad you had. I only have 3 pictures... it's very sad.

I will never forget not long after my father passed I had a dream. It's now pictures I carry with me
this many years after. So vivid. I close my eyes and see him still like the dream was last night.
He was in his old white Fury with the black top. Smiling waving.
The car moving slowly past me. That smile on his red moon shaped face.
Twinkling green eyes, my eyes.
There were no words just that feeling. A good feeling. I knew he was always there for me,
just like in life. Gone but not. He was, he is my rock.

you just reminded me that when I deleted all the pictures off my old phone (Mr.'s phone died suddenly and he freaked out) there was a pic of me and my dad on there...and now it's gone forever. :(
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

Thanks, Adam, this is great advice. I didn't have a lot of time with him, just shy of 20 years, so I am fearful for the day where I don't quite remember the memories and the little things.

I hope your friend is ok, a speedy recovery.
I have to dispose of the body. The Trash people already came before I got home. So I guess I need to take the squirrel to a dumpster some where.
I wonder how he or she died. This is going to be gross.
I have surgical gloves a box and two trash bags. I'm going to have to put it in my trunk.
Why do I always get the odd jobs?
There is a female squirrel that lives in my back yard and she is completely bald. Did they know each other?
Well I guess I need to go take care of that before the school bus comes... See ya soon.
you just reminded me that when I deleted all the pictures off my old phone (Mr.'s phone died suddenly and he freaked out) there was a pic of me and my dad on there...and now it's gone forever. :(
