A loss you are never ready for......

[Bugman]

Thank you to all of you who have posted in this thread. It means a lot to me to see that people care for another person on this forum. This place may have it's ups and downs, but one thing is for sure. We are a community. I am proud to be a part of it.

Indeed.

Losing a parent is something you can never prepare for.

You really can't. I lost my dad in 1982, and we knew it was coming but it didn't hurt any less for that.

I will always love my childhood. That's where most of the memories of my Father comes from. Because he lived in Kansas, I didn't get to see him often. But that didn't mean that we didn't love each other. I am the 5th oldest of my Father's 6 children. I am proud to be a part of the family. I am proud he was my Father. At least I know he is in a better place.

Again, thank you to each and every one of you who responded to this thread. I had to get some feelings out, and it helped a bit. A part of "primetime" passed away, but my Father will always be remembered in my life.

You have posted a fine tribute to your father here, and I'm sure he would be proud to read it. 🙂 May he rest in peace.

Primetime,

I'm so sorry to hear about your father... Having had the pleasure of meeting you, hanging out a few times, talking football and such, I certainly see the positive influence he has had on your life... I've always been very close to my father and much like you, he gave me my obsession with the NFL... He has influenced my life more greatly than anyone, and I am thankful for every moment I've had with him...

Know that you are in my thoughts and if you need anything at all, I'm here to help...

I am so sorry to hear about your loss my friend. I lost my mom in December and there are still days that things seem like something out of a dream. I keep thinking I will wake up and none of it will have happened. You are never prepared. My heart is with. If you ever need to talk, shoot me a PM.

I was not ready to lose my mom a year ago January. It was the hardest thing I ever went threw. My mom was my best friend and I can't believe she is gone. It is so sad she went into the hospital for a simple thing and never came home. I do believe she is here in spirit with me. If you are a man or especially woman treasure every moment you have with your mom because you cant imagine what its like when she is gone. Don't let little things get in the way of your relationship. If you live far from her take two minutes and pick up the phone just to say hi. I was with my mom all the time and the pain is still horrible. I can't imagine what it would have been like if I lived far from her. People love your mom and let her know she is loved while you still have her. Mom I love you and miss you. You are my special angel now.

First, so sorry for your loss. It sounds like you had a fulfilling relationship with your dad eventhough he lived halfway across the country. When my father died in 1993 at 68, my mother called me the day after I saw him. I felt like I got kicked in the groin. Here today, gone tomorrow
