Time to come clean...
My apologies to you all, for the past couple of months I have been dealing with my fathers liver cancer. My father passed on veterans day - a fitting tribute in retrospect. My father, Bob died out in the the country, its where he wanted to spend his remaining years. Over the years I had emailed humours pictures that I had posted on my blog to him, he always said it was the high point of his day. I inherited my sense of humor from him....it just got a little more twisted...I am struggling right now to get back to where I was, and where I should be....Please bear with me....

My father died of the same cancer. My thoughts and my prayers are with you sir. Take your time, grieve, miss him, cry, get angry, laugh inappropriately, drink too much, reminisce, share your memories, go through his stuff and feel those feelings, and, when you're finally ready, move on. He'll always be there. If you're like me, you'll miss him until the day you meet again.
ReplyDeleteBlessings.
Mr. Bits
Thanks Bits
DeleteI feel your pain brother. My father was much the same for me (stomach cancer) I was his care giver and he died holding my hand two years ago (Dec 12). I does get easier but so far never painless. The days will pass and you will move on, you will also have all of us readers to lean on. We will be here for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you my friend
DeleteYou Sir, please understand that family always comes first and you owe us no explanation. We are but visitors in your cyber home. I lost my dad a little over two years ago and can tell you this Doc, it gets better. The key for me is to never forget him especially since he made me who I am today. I suspect your dad has done the same for you.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you and your family,
Andy
Thanks Andy.
DeleteMy father has been gone since 1994. He passed at the relatively young age of 61. I still miss him to this day. It will get easier for you as time passes. Just remember all the good times you got to spend with him. My sincere condolences.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tam....
ReplyDeletePraying for you and yours. Keep up the family tradition of a twisted sense of humor! Always tell the naysayers that there's a difference between cracked and broken.
ReplyDeleteMy Father passed away 2 years ago. Always home to make Step Mom's day easier on that day. Hard life for the guys, but we have to do it for the Family.
ReplyDeleteCondolences Sir. We lost Dad to cancer on the 4th of July 10 years ago. Some days it still stops me in my tracks. Yes, he will always be there as he is a part of you. Take the time and honor him as you see fit.
ReplyDeleteHad you on my blog list for a while never commented. RIP to your father, You sound like a Man he was very proud to be the Father of.

When a son loses his father, a part of him is lost, until he finds his father has always been there and will be there forever. It has been twelve years that I grieve for my father lost to brain cancer. I remember holding my fathers hand as a young boy, and as a man, that can never be lost. You will eventually find peace.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sir, for the gracious explanation, when you owe us none. My condolences.
ReplyDeleteSorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteWas wondering what was going on, Very sorry to hear about your father.
ReplyDeleteMy most heartfelt condolences.
ReplyDeleteFriend there is nothing to compare to the loss of a parent. My heartfelt sympathy and prayers for peace to you, your family, and his friemds.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your loss. It was 20 years ago yesterday my Mom died so I can safely say the feeling of loss never goes completely away. Things do get better though. At least you can always think of your Dad smiling as you post stuff. You'll get there and we'll be here waiting. God bless.
ReplyDeleteNo words can convey my sorrow for you and your father. My mother passed earlier this year. This was hard for me as well.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
My Condolences, Doc. It's not pleasant to think about and less pleasant to watch. We'll still be here, take care of yourself and return when you're ready.
ReplyDeleteYou have my deepest sympathy, sometimes a great loss can become an inspiration, I hope this is true for you.
ReplyDeleteSooner or later Doc, we all have to ride off into the sunset on a new trail. All of our trails eventually intersect at the same point in time and space. That is His Master Plan. Have no fear your father is doing well and is with all his old friends who traveled before him. He will be there for you, helping in ways that words cannot describe, until you meet again. Hang in there, it looks like you have plenty of friends here to help you along. My sincere condolences for your loss and pain. Speaking from experience (both parents) it will get easier.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss. We are going through a tough time with loss ourselves.

Sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteThe words I have read from all of you are the most touching I honestly ever have had spoken to me, my heart is now more full than it has been in my memory. Thank you all for your well wishes...God bless you all.
ReplyDeleteWe are diminished.
ReplyDeleteI am a survivor of liver cancer. If it wasnt for the support of my wife and children I would not have made it.Sorry for your lost.
ReplyDeleteMy heartfelt condolences. As others here have said so much more eloquently, it hurts but it does get easier. Blessings upon you and yours. - Barry
ReplyDeleteWell informative post here your have done. Really i'm glad to see this one.
ReplyDeleteSir, I wish I had seen this post earlier. My heartfelt condolences my friend. I too have lost a few from Nieces, brothers, sister and parents and have lost many military friends.
ReplyDeleteStay strong and I will try to check in once in awhile.
Best regards,

Very sorry to hear this news. My condolences to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteDoc, my dad passed from bone cancer on his spine (osteogenic carcinoma) that metastasized to his lungs.. He had just turned 50. We were close, and anything that is good in me came from him. We were there for each other when there was need, as I'm sure you were for your father. Think about the good times and the love you shared. He will never be gone so long as he is remembered.
