Hey, everybody. I consider this community like a family. I just wanted you all to know that my dad died earlier tonight, while in the hospital due to complications. He suffered from ALS for two years, until he went home to be with his Lord and Savior in Heaven. He simply stopped breathing, so it was almost completely painless. Thank you all for your kind words in my prior thread when I thought he was only in the hospital for a day or two. I'm sad that he is gone; as a Christian, I firmly believe that I will see him one day in Heaven. I mourn his loss, though. He meant more than mere words can convey. Love y'all. =')
even though i haven't really know you all that well. I would just like to give you my condolences on your loss. and the best of wishes i am sure that your father is in a better place right now and is very happy.
I am terribly sorry man, really am. I haven't even seen you before, but I feel for you. I am fortunate to never have that happen to me, except for when my uncle died. Best of wishes.
Oh my, I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope he finds his way to Alesium. The halls of his fathers are waiting. "Instead of saying all of your goodbyes, let him know you realize that life goes fast, it's hard to make the good things last. Make sure he realizes that the sun doesn't go down, it's just an illusion caused by the world spinning around."
I'm sorry to hear about this. Keep all the good times you had with him in your thoughts. I wish you the best. Nitrous what is that quote from?
Times of loss are hard for everyone, but it's also times like these where we come together and support each other when we are really needed. My condolences and best wishes to you and your family, and may he rest in peace.
I am sorry to hear that, but you seem to be holding up well. I now it feels like to lose a parent. Good luck.
That is perhaps the nicest thing you have EVER said. Holy crap. Lance, I'm truly sorry for your loss. I don't know who your father was, but he must have been a truly great person to you for you to tell us on FH. My thoughts are with you and your family. Love, FH.
Lance I am so sorry about your loss and hope that you can recover from his passing. "For everything there is a season, And a time for every matter under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing; A time to seek, and a time to lose; A time to keep, and a time to throw away; A time to tear, and a time to sew; A time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate, A time for war, and a time for peace." Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
Lance, I am so sorry. I can relate to losing loved ones, and the best advice I can give is to remember and cherish all the good memories you and your father shared. My best to you, your family, and all of your father's loved ones. This is officially my first post since returning from banishment. I've felt uncomfortable to post since being unbanned, so I held off but I couldn't anymore after I read this thread. Stay strong man. May your life be otherwise light and happy, Metal
I am so sorry about your loss Lance, I may not know you or your father that well but he must of been a good man and I hope he had a happy and fulfilling life. Its good that he went peacefully though and I wish you and your family the best of wishes.
I'm very sorry for your loss. I remember losing my grandma and that was one of the hardest things I've ever been through. But I bet that doesn't even compare to the loss of a dad. I hope things get better for you and your family.
Really sorry for your loss, man, but he's in a better place now. I'm glad to see that you seem to holding up pretty well. Losing a parent has to be tough.
I am terribly sorry for your loss. Even though I've never spoken to you ever, I think at times like this support is very important.
I know how hard loss can be. When my grandfather died a few years ago, I had trouble taking in the shock at the time, but when the school year started, I would sometimes come home and just be a wreck after trying not to feel anything at school and get through the day. My best advice would be to stay strong, do what you need to do, and persevere, but don't be afraid to let your emotions best you once in a while. It doesn't matter if you believe in my god or your god, but God gave us emotions for a reason, not to make us weak, but to make us strong. And he also gave us friends and family to love. Soon you will be able to fully accept the change, and just look forward to seeing him in heaven. I give you and your family my deepest regards.
wow, im really sorry to hear this, and now i feel like a jackass because im just now finding this out, i knew he went to the hospital but then i didnt get on for a couple days. i am glad that it was painless, almost. I hope your feeling better.
I have a friend who just lost his mother to cancer. The only advice I can give is to spend some time with friends and family. Don't take it all by yourself, and surround yourself with things you love and make you happy. My condolences.
