    I am so sorry to hear about
    I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. As others have said, don't feel guilty about going to the game - your dad wanted you to and I am sure your going made him happy. I have seen this with Bill - he feels guilty that his illness is affecting the things i do (which of course he shouldn't), but he really wants me to continue with certain things (that are less important to me since this has happened) and i can tell that it is very important to him that I do continue with them. I am sure your dad felt the same way and that he felt great happiness at the thought that you were getting to go to the game.

    I am so glad you made it back in time to see him. Hugs to you and your family.

    Dad Passed Away
    I am so sorry for your loss. I guess I was relatively young when I was dianosed last summer, and so far am recovering pretty well. It was pretty touch and go for a few weeks, though and I could never have made it through without the love and attention I received from my wife and especially my two grown sons who really came through for us. I would wake up in the middle of the night and there was Josiah (son #1 - 33 y.o.) sitting by my bedside. It was such a huge relief to have that support, even though they couldn't be there all the time. Your dad wanted you to go to the game. He knew that life has to go on and if he was anything like me, he wanted you to try to keep living life. It doesn't make the sadness of losing your loved one any less. My deepest sympathies to your family at this very painful time.

    I am so sorry for your loss. And it is okay to feel like a mess - it will be that way for awhile give yourself permission to miss your dad. Then you will begin to have days you feel a little better and can smile when you think about him --- and then wack you will be a mess again. But we were both so lucky to be there for our dad's and to have been there after they got sick and I am sure your dad knew how much you loved him and so lucky to have dad's in our lives. Hang onto that during the coming days.

    Hugs,
    Cindy

    Thank You
    Thank you everyone

    I am just so raw and overwhelmed. I mean I knew it was going to happen, and expected it for the most part. But I am completely raw right now. My emotions shift by the hour..

    Services are settled, some of his bills have been canceled, meeting with lawyer next week, have started cleaning out his home..

    But it's hard for me to want to do anything but lie in my bed wrapped in one of his favorite blankets and hugging one of his shirts. I'm 35 years old... and I miss my Daddy. So so much.

    We would talk every day, throughout the day. I don't have that now. I miss him and I want him back. But I know he's no longer suffering. I don't know what I will do without him. I'm crying as I'm typing this. My heart hurts so much, like there is a large hole..can't breathe, it just hurts.

    Thank you for everything. My thoughts are with all of you as well since you all have to deal with this horrible illness in some way as well.
