I'm the youngest of 3.  My dad was my best friend.  I love that man so much.  I saw him often.  My kids adored him.  He was so supportive and present at all times.  He could make any situation better--and always had you laughing til you cried at your worst moments. I knew he was always there for us.  Unconditionally.  He was my 'go-to' person.  A fountain of knowledge on everything.

It was SOOOO hard to watch him die from cancer. And the entire time he was so strong and worried about everyone else--never complained, still funny, etc.

It has been 6 years since his death. I can now think of him and smile and not fall apart. I get sad when he is missing milestones that he would have relished--particularly with his grandsons who he adored and they adored him,,,their successes, upcoming graduation, etc.

I am amazed I gave his eulogy without crying.  It was the one last thing I could do to honor him.  I also found that since I grieved so long ahead of time--the sicker he got..that it was eventually easier when it did happen.

I look for signs everywhere. I get them, some pretty crazy that can't be 'coincidence' and I take heart that he still 'sees' and I am so thankful I had him as a dad.

I wish you peace, OP. I hope he doesn't suffer.[/quote]

OMG this made me cry.....this was my dad to a tee and I just lost him five months ago.  I haven't stopped crying but it's getting just a little easier.  I get signs as well.  I held his hand in hospice and know he was at peace.  His grandsons adored him and he adored them.  We miss him so much.[/quote]
