I can't stop the tears  

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
My Dad died suddenly almost a year ago. The funeral was a fiasco and I ended up losing ties to all my family. All because my husband was his favorite of all of us. My siblings could not take it and banished us from all events. They changed the times of everything so we could not be there. I havn't spoken to anyone since, and I don't want to.

I was doing fine then yesturday I looked at the calendar. He died December 6, and it is fast approching. My children still ask if they will ever see Granpa again. He visits me in my dreams. I am terrified of going to sleep because I fear I might not want to wake up if he is there. My thought are not rational at the moment and my vision is blured through tears. I can't stop the tears. They have been going strong for over an hour now. I just want my dad. I was not ready for him to go. My children were not ready. My husband loved him better than his own dad. Why would one so loved be taken without any warning. No one had a chance to say good bye.

I am so sorry. I know how you feel. too bad about family stuff, it just rubs salt in the wounds. support each other. sounds like your whole family loved him wholly. you need each other (kids and hubby). maybe the rest of the family will come around but they sound like they are not good for support at this moment.

I doing much better. The aniversary of his death was yesturday and I am supprisingly at peace. I spent most of yesturday working on a project we had started and Dad had been a large part of. He was trying to help us get our truck fixed about a month before he died. The Truck sat for a year and on the aniversary of his death my husband and I finnially got it running. We had to put a new transmition in. Dad helped put it in last year when we replaced the clutch, and then it took three of us working hours to get it in. This time it was like we had a lot more help and it went a lot more smoothly. We had the whole thing done in about an hour! I could almost hear him laughing and cursing along with us. I know I will always miss him, and sometimes I will cry. But he will forever live within my heart, and I will never let my children forget him. His stories will be written down for my children to remember. I don't have many pictures of him, but I have many wonderful memories, and can write about the times we had fun. Fishing on the bank of the river with the kids!, Camping, hunting, hiking, and sitting at the table drinking coffee listening to his stories of youth and adventures and stuggles of veit nam. I will always remember him. and he desearves to be remembered for who he was.
