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.

    Hello,

    So sorry to hear about your loss, its so heartbreaking and surreal when someone youve known youre whole life has just been taken away. My dad got diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer End of November and passed away recently on the 10th February. It still doesnt seem real, he was only 46years old and would have been with my mum 28 years this year. I still cant believe that this is all happening especially when he was so young, waking up is the hardest with that split second that its all okay and then it hits you. I wrote a little poem that has helped me each day. 

    My heart is aching everyday knowing that youre gone. 
    I find myself wondering how life is meant to go on. 
    Waking up is the hardest, accepting that this is real. Its hard getting through each day as I dont know how to feel.            
    There wont be a moment that goes by where I wont be thinking of you. And This is going to be the hardest thing we are going to have to get through
    But you will live on within us each and every day                             And we know you will be guiding us every step of the way.
    No matter how old I am or where I may be,
    You will forever be my one and only Daddy.
