So...Father died today of cancer, exactly two months before his 60th birthday. I can't believe it. I prayed and believed, and was 100000% sure he would live. 60 is way too young to go...why...i thought he would live till 90, Like his parents... where did 30 years go... feels like thirty years just vanished like nothing . He actually believed, naive man, that he had at least 6months to a year and he thought that in that time he would actually treat it and live. But his doctor told me last month...that in reality he had couple weeks...and two months would be a miracle, and he was right,it turned out to be exactly one month...
I guess I'll just throw away the get well soon card I almost dropped in mail..
Awe hugs. My Dad passed away when I was 6 years old. He was 50 when he died from lung cancer. He was 44 when I was born. I would hold onto that card unless it upsets you too much. I just have a few things that belonged to him and I will always treasure them.
@MsFugger Hold on to what you have including wonderful memories. When my dad passed away it was such a traumatic event that I have no memories of my childhood. Worst of all I have no memories of him. All I have is a small number of pictures a few other items that belonged to him.
I’m sorry. He was young. My dad died with 71 and I still think he was young. Anything I can tell you won’t be a console. Let yourself feel the pain and the grieve bc it’s normal. I’m sorry a lot. A strong hug!
@MsFugger I know life is like that but nothing prepare you to accept the lossing of a loved one. Parents are so important for us. Cancer is a terrible disease. I guess you all suffered a lot seeing him suffering. There’s nothing worst than seeing someone you love suffering. I have seen these pics of your dad now. Not sure if you add them later. Hope giving him this kind of tribute helps you a little. I also wrote a post dedicate to my dad here. Somehow I needed to adresse a message for him, express my gratitude and share with others. I wish you strength.
