early last tuesday morning my dad passed away in a hotel in Clevland clinic. he was going there for health problems; my brother and Sister-in-law went with him. my brother says (he was there first) he went in his sleep. i thank God that he did, but i am sad that He brings my dad home. he was 72yo, he had only a month till his next birthday.
i'll sort of be back in a one month or two in this forum, there is a lot to do.

Our sincere condolences to you and your family. Our small group here has become like a family and when any of us suffer such a loss or suffer pain we all feel it. Sorry for your loss Tod and wish I could say or do something that would help but I know words are helpless to stop such pain but I also know that time heals. Such things never really completely heal they just in time become bearable.

Todd, I know that we’ve never officially met but I feel like I know you pretty well already. It’s always hard when a parent passes away my friend, just try and be content you had him the years you did. My father passed away when he was 56 and honestly I tryuky believe Vietnam had a lot to do with hugs issues. Like your dad I love him as much as a son can love a father. If you ever just feel like reaching out and talking please don’t hesitate to reach out and call. It truly makes me hurt inside knowing how much you loved your father and will miss him each day. Take care and if there’s anything I can do, do not hesitate to reach out and ask. I am truly sorry for you loss my friend.

This wont be the magic pain pill but as a parent I feel and suspect others do as well that I want to go before any of my children. Otherwise would be the worst I can imagine. A blessed life for me would be complete if I leave behind children that have accepted Jesus. What more could a man ask for? From what I am experiencing I see that old age is filled with physical challenges and not for the young. It was Sam Clemons that said, "" its such a shame that youth is wasted on the young" My Dad is gone too he would have been 108 years old this year. I still miss him but in a way still idolize him in remembering all the good stuff. One of the ten commandments from God is to honor your father and your mother. You do that by keeping their memory alive by keeping symbols of their memory in your every day life or at least that is how I do it. Call me silly but I also interact with those things talking to them as if they were my Dad and he can hear me. One little thing I have hanging on our wall beside one of his army pictures is a railroad nail dated 1915 the year he was born. He worked for 43 years on the railroad so I thought he would like that.

Dan, I share your feelings completely, our first son Jacob,we called him Jake died when he was 8 months old. I’ve been cut, kicked, by a horse and a man, shot and blown up. All of those pale in comparison to losing a child. As I stated before I’m almost as old now as when I lost my father. I’m not sure it ever really heals but time does seem to make things a little better. If you happen to have Tod’s address if you can id appreciate you sending it to me thru a private message.Thank you my friend, I hope all is well with you and yours.
