My dad died this afternoon from a heart attack. What a blow.
I will always love you Dad.
I am realy sorry my dear brother i only now have seen this , i remember i wrote " wow " on one of posts you made here without knowing what was all about , My condoleces when parents go to another world its like our sheeld to kosmos is desapiarin be strong you have to be strong for your kids sake . And who said that they do not look at us from up above ,? I know that they are there somewhere up . Once agein i wish i could do anything to soften the pain but i know i can't. But i am there for you what ever you need
GN, you soften the blow just by being you.....fantastic.
Ive made a conscious decision to move on today and it helps.....I just hope I remember in the morning.
Thank you for all your support...it's actually been very helpful and I'm grateful.
Sailing down behind the sun,
Waiting for my prince to come.
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again.
Just a toe rag on the run.
How did I get here?
What have I done?
When will all my hopes arise?
How will I know him?
When I look in my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
When I look in my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
Then the light begins to shine
And I hear those ancient lullabies.
And as I watch this seedling grow,
Feel my heart start to overflow.
Where do I find the words to say?
How do I teach him?
What do we play?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That's when I need them,
That's when I need my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
That's when I need my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
Then the jagged edge appears
Through the distant clouds of tears.
I'm like a bridge that was washed away;
My foundations were made of clay.
As my soul slides down to die.
How could I lose him?
What did I try?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That he was here with me;
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes
Frosted I am so, so sorry to hear this brother. Devastated, actually, and I'm not sure why. Probably because my own father developed heart problems recently after living a very healthy lifestyle and I am scared shitless. I'm so sorry. You are in my thoughts today.
It was a beautiful day here in Carrickfergus, we carried my father right to the grave where he now rests with his father.
There is now some closure.
Thank you once again for your support, this is one of the hardest things Ive done and well done for stickying this thread. Hopefully it will help others in future.
I saw behind me those who had gone and before me those who are to come. I looked back and saw my father and his father and all our fathers and in front, to see my son, and the sons upon sons beyond. And their eyes were my eyes. As I felt, so had they felt, and were to feel as then, so now as tomorrow and forever.... I was of them, they were of me, and in me, and I in all of them.
Frosty - Well like the ass I am, I just dropped into this thread and read of your loss...........................Words are .....well........look stay strong, let him live on in your heart, cry out the loss as you can. Never an easy thing, but one of life's crossings we all must endure...........
As usual, I have been making stupid snide character references about you in various threads here and there, oblivious to your loss and condition. And of course now I feel like a complete shit.... That's ok, I deserve it.
But as you know, I hope, it is my love of you that somehow translates into unrelenting trash talk, I will not stop, it is the least I can do! I have felt your absence here and was wondering.......... But a recent reply to something somewhere of.... and I quote.... "lool", was enough to make my heart just a bit lighter. We love you very much, (in a very manly way), and hope your pain is soon replaced with thoughts of happy times spent with your father...... This will take time, always does, but he is with you now and always.... Take care.
I will put the hairy butt at half mast until further notice...........
Hey - you didn't know and also, life carries on. It's banter, laughing, my brothers children and my children that have kept me sane. Love is what keeps us human....lots back to you Whalen :-)
If your parents are still alive, today is a good day to give em a call to see how they are doing. They will appreciate it more than you know. Spend as much time with them as you possibly can. Its one of the most important things that you can do. You will be glad you did.....when they are gone.
......innit
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......
I've been wrong lots of times. Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.
Pops passed away a month ago. Systemic Scleroderma took him out faster than America's premier specialist on the disease had ever seen. He was a legend in the shoe industry, a former teammate of Steve Prefontaine and Phil Knight, and and one of the original sub-four-minute-milers. It takes me more than twice that long to run a mile. He was the gentlest, kindest soul, willing to help anyone who crossed his path. He was a CEO of a few companies, yet he would literally run to open the door for factory workers. He was a hero to many and a friend to all. I don't go around telling people an of this shit, but I've loved this community and I know a few of you care. Rest in peace to all those whom we have lost.

Care??? Hell Roo...that brought tears to my eyes. I'm so sorry mate. I'm poppin in a snus for him right now.
It sounds like he was an amazing person. Hang in there
