my deepest sympathies for you and yours iwin.

hang in there, these times are trying.

**scott** · 11-16-10, 04:31 PM

IWIN, sorry for your loss

**melia26** · 11-16-10, 04:42 PM

Very sorry for your loss. As someone who has lost both parents, it remains a life long grieving process. My dad died when I was young, but I took care of my mom for several years before she died. I've become very spiritual and I feel like they look out for me and guide me when times are tough. I hope you were able to tell your dad how much you loved him on a regular basis, I know I told my mom every day and nothing went unsaid at the end. I hope everyone here who still has parents will be proud of the love for them and express it to them regularly.

Sorry to hear this. I wish you the best buddy.

**lyon804** · 11-16-10, 05:03 PM

I am sorry for your loss. I have not been in your shoes yet losing somebody as important as a father. I can only imagine your world will be upside down being such a tragic and unexpected loss. I have always heard that grief is the strongest emotion but fortunately it does not last long. Do not worry about being a tough man and instead grief your father until you find some peace in your life again. Nothing will probably feel right or as good for quite some time. I hope you have somebody close with you to help ease your emotions moving forward. Bless you!

nobody knows when its our time...doctors can tell you anything and everything...but nobody truly knows

you can get check ups and such...

but if its your time...

no words can help but rest assure knowing that he is feeling no pain at all and now resides in a much better place than where we are

Sorry to hear about your loss IWin.......My father died of a heart attack at 55 a long time ago.....At least it seems you were close to your dad. I was only 17 when my mine passed away......I'm sure your dad is in a better place now....May God rest his soul.

**tltaylor89** · 11-16-10, 05:50 PM

Sorry for ur loss iWin.

**Iwinyourmoney** · 11-16-10, 06:01 PM

Wow thanks guys. This huge support is amazing!

Today was hard. We did all the arrangements, plot, funeral, everything. My dad was so well known we are expecting 1k people at the visitation, this things going to be huge.

And WTF is up with these prices? U have to be rich to die and have a nice farewell. The plot was 8k (mom got a double plot), the funeral dudes 6k, the coffin like 3k. Then we are doing a lunchin after the funeral, that's another 1k.

But he's worth every penny

**MJFtheGenius** · 11-16-10, 06:04 PM

I am sorry for your loss I have an idea of how you are feeling

**Shortstop** · 11-16-10, 06:19 PM

Iwin,

I'm very sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

**BeatTheJerk** · 11-16-10, 06:21 PM

Hang in there buddy. Sometimes life just doesn't make much sense.

**slimpickins** · 11-16-10, 06:32 PM

Sorry for your loss.
I know exactly what you are going through, my dad died in August and we were very close.

**mister bee** · 11-16-10, 07:24 PM

That's a tough deal man. Stay strong.

**MonkeyF0cker** · 11-16-10, 07:50 PM

Sorry to hear that, man.

**WvGambler** · 11-16-10, 09:26 PM

Iwin

Condolences buddy. I fear that day badly. I can't imagine how you're feeling. Thoughts go out to your family.

**TheGambler** · 11-16-10, 09:50 PM

Iwin, very sorry to hear about your dad. Similar to others, my dad is 61 and has been living on a triple bypass surgery since he was 44. Hang in there brother and you and your family will be in my prayers.

**thezbar** · 11-16-10, 10:23 PM

Its tough. I loss my father to diabetes four years ago. It still hurts. Stay strong.

**SHADYLANKY** · 11-16-10, 11:38 PM

My condolences to you and your family IWIN. Hopefully we all use this as a reminder of how special are parents are and remind them frequently. My Mom was in the hospital for about a week earlier this year. It was the first time I really ever thought about possibly losing a parent. Just remember he is in a better place.

Thats what life insurance is for right? To pay for these expenses..

Horrible day boys. Died of a heart attack. That man had done more me for me in my life then anyone could imagine. He was a truly amazing man. Makes no sense either, no prior medical, not overweight. 65 yrs old, always working around the house, picking up the leafs, ect. Wonder what the autopsy will say.

Don't take family for granted guys.....they can disappear at the snap of a finger

Crazy, my dad went in for tests this weekend and they kept him because of some irregular results- they thought he was at risk for a heart attack. Luckily, everything turned out fine. What you mentioned about "That man had done more me for me in my life then anyone could imagine" was all I could think about. He is only 50 and I am still in college, so I was really hoping everything was alright. Definitely a wake up call, though. I let him know how much he means to me and our entire family.

Sorry for your loss, I can only imagine what you are going through. God bless you and your family.

**Cicima6709** · 11-17-10, 12:11 AM

Sucks man, my dad is around the same age, and its just a terrifying thought.

Hope you get through this, best of wishes.

RIP

I actually walked into my dad's ICU room at the moment his heart quit....I saw
the lines on the meters go flat.....

I know how you feel.....

**INVEGA MAN** · 11-17-10, 12:21 AM

**L2Gunz** · 11-17-10, 12:41 AM

IWIN..sorry to hear about this. Try to stay strong and positive and you will get thru these hard times...I cant imagine what your going thru but try and remember all the great times that you and your father spent together. Cherish those moments dearly...Time heals everthing!!!

**Reload** · 11-17-10, 12:42 AM

Sorry to hear this, Iwin. I went through this myself years ago and like you - it was also the worst day of my life.

**Iwinyourmoney** · 11-17-10, 12:48 AM

Thanks guys. I can't even begin to describe things he did for me that I would never believe if someone said it was done for them....and always took it for granted.

Thanks again for ur support guys
