I Lost My Dad

Hi

My dad was more like a Best friend to me but after over 2 weeks since he has passed. I find it difficult to handle since were always together. He has been going in and out of hospital since I was 5 years old and had alot of medical thing wrong with him because he was still a fighter. I think he had been in most of the wards and most nurses and doctors knew him for his visits. He spent Christmas in hospital but got out for the New year then went back in I think he knew he had cancer and only him. He only told me 2 days before he passed away with Lung Cancer. 

He always said to me "If I die, I'll die standing up"

I know everyone has to die at some point but i feel he left to soon and I never got to say goodbye or anything so I will get through and try to pick up my life again.

    Hi Unicorn Girl,

    I too lost my father a few weeks before Christmas. He lived in Canada and I live in the south of England. I never got to know hin as well as I would have liked to. Weonly made contact with him about 25 years ago and spent a week with him 24 years ago. Although we had never met as he married my mother in the early part of the war, I found we were so alike; same likes and dislikes and mannerisiums.

    I do miss him and not being able to talk to him on the phone. Over the years I have now lost ten close family members to cancer including my mother so I do understand what a loss you are trying to cope with. I would just like to say, allthough your dad is no longer with you, I always feel there is a part of them still inside of us, for they have helped shape the person we have become through the guidance and advice they have given us over the years. I know I often say or do something only to realize its just what my mother would have said or done and I do find it comforting.

    Take care, sending kind thoughts and best wishes your way, Brian
