My dad has been dead for 28 years now. I was only 6 months old and spend every single day of my life wondering if it would have been different if I he was still around.
Dad went home to be with the Lord 7 years this coming July 2nd. He was a great man, awesome father, and best friend. My tribute/words are in the above post.
Mine has been gone for 27 years. Left at a much too young of age (43). He never met his Grandson. When we shoot the guns he left behind, we think of him everytime !
My father passed away june 8th. The last thing I said to him was I love you dad, I was fortunate enough to be at his side when he died. He was the finest man I have ever known and I will miss him for the rest of my life.
Here's to all the fathers that have gone before us. May they rest in peace and know how much we loved them.
Nine years gone now. I miss him every day! Lots of things that give me flashbacks; images, memories and sounds. It's taken me 9 years to be able to go through his things. When I open a box that has been sealed for years and inhale his smell, tears well up and sometimes I break down and cry. I'm not ashamed, he was my father, my sage, my bestest buddy and the person that brought me into this world.
