The End is Here

Vulchor

Thank Everyone for their wishes, prayers, kind words, ect. over the last 18 months. My father died this morning around 630am with my mother by his side. I am back at home now with her and my little (17yoa) sister and we are doing as much healing, crying, laughing, and planning as possible. As he smoked cigarettes for 30+ years it was not the biggest shock----but it was what it was. He has been a great man and if no one minds----I'll give him a little paragraph here on a fitting cigar forum, lol, since he hated the damn sticks so much.

My old man was 58 yrs old. He was Type 1 Diabetic since he was 12 years old. From 5 insulin shots a day, to the pump he has had for the last 10 years or so to the time he was thrown in the drunk tank and almost died (from a diabetic sugar reaction, not booze). He moved me into college ,into my first apartment, and into my home with my wife and kids (I did help some, lol). He had a toe amputated 4 years ago, 3 back surgeries, 2 broken legs, broken ribs, broken arm, and a fractured foot that I gave him after watching Karate Kid for the first time. He should have died from this months ago, and CERTAINLY should have died about 2 weeks ago after not eating, drinking, or urinating for 3 days----but as he always did, he came back. Well, not today but as I told him last time I saw him....the cancer didnt beat him, he didnt lose the fight, he just said f' it as he would alot of things in life and did things his way

I could write forever and more and more, but that is enough for now----until I start crying again I guess. Thanks for everything again here folks and somewhere in heaven (if its there, and today I have to believe it is) the Jimmy Buffett music and sweet tea is flowin a plenty.

I am sorry for your loss. Cancer took my Mom, or maybe I should say the chemo under two years ago. Take Care. Just know Its not the end.

Vulchor, So sorry to hear about your Dad. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this difficult time. It's never easy losing someone so close, but take comfort in the good memories and treasure the time you had.

Sorry for your loss bro. I hope you can take some comfort in the time you had him with him before he passed. My dad died at the start of my senior year in high school and it was out of the blue so no goodbyes or anything. To this day I can still remember our last conversation and everything about it. Anyway, I digress as this is about you and not me. I hope the healing process goes as fast as possible for your family.

Vulchor, Reading your words about your dad put tears in my eyes. He sounded like a great man, husband, and father and it sounded like you had a great relationship. My prayers are with you and your family.

I never grew up with a father around. It is a very special opportunity you had growing up. Hard to see a person pass away that you are close to but I am glad you get to look back with fondness. You will see him again someday. Marker.

You and your family will be in our prayers tonight.

I'm really sorry about your loss, i lost my dad 1 year ago to cancer and he became a diabetic after he was diagnosed with cancer and that only helped the cancer take him down. You have to look at the brightside, he is not suffering anymore and don't have to watch him suffer anymore. I'll keep your family in my prayers.

I'll never forget my dad's words between sobs after his mom died : "at least she's not hurting any more" .. Prayers are with you.
