Been 29 years since my dad passed away

Been 29 years since my dad passed away. He was a tow truck driver and a drunk driver hit him. It was tough losing him and I was 17 years old at the time. He was a great loving caring dad to my 2 younger brothers and I. He was getting a vehicle getting ready to get towed and the drunk driver was swerving and hit him. Passed 3 days later in the hospital of his injuries. It was tough but I had great support from the school counselor and teachers including friends. Luckily the school counselor helped me get through it and saw I was hit hard the most. Even told me about a great grief counselor she knew whom I did see. It took me more time to heal up one step at a time. I did get one thing done of his, his 1969 Chevelle with help from good friends of his. We worked on it together and I still have it to this day. Every time I drive it, know he is in the passenger seat. Mom was thinking of selling and decided not to, knew it was a part of my life knowing dad and I built it together putting the title in my name when I was 18.

It must be tough. I'm so sorry for your lose. I guess I will feel what many feel when my father passes away.

@FemSteps Did get justice too, the drunk driver got 25 years for vehicular manslaughter which he was remorseful and did accept his prison sentence
