I am sure your father already knows how you feel about him. I am glad you are able to know of such beautiful memories.

Lots of comments so I hope you see this... (Reply to this comment)
by laryan
I really don't know what I'm going to say because I'm nearly crying now. I lost my father to a sudden heart attack with no notice. I didn't get my chance to say goodbye, nor did anyone in my family. But I have had my chance to talk to him, because I still feel he is close to me in so many ways. I believe your father is, too. Such a special man who is so loved will always be close to you. Your writing gave a wonderful insight into a complex man. And I know he must have loved you very much and must be very proud of you.
Thank you for sharing this.

Both my parents are deceased.... (Reply to this comment)
by JBduckling
ok, I guess they are dead, your writing touched me, Bridge....as I feel similar things. I did get a chance to say good bye, as my mom died of cancer and my dad of congestive heart failure, while I missed their passing by minutes, I had opportunities before hand. With my mom, we became good friends, beyond a son-mom relationsip. With my dad, well, never friends, he was always my father. Still, I feel ripped off neither are around to share my joy with their grandsons here. I do feel their presence. Great writing from the heart and soul. Wonderful and your dad is proud of you! JOhn

your loss. Even though it was a couple of years ago, I am sure it still feels like yesterday. I am sorry you did not get to say goodbye, that makes things so much harder. Your love for him is so obviouse I am sure he knew how much you loved him. Take care.

Wise and Loving Words! (Reply to this comment)
by ruby950
This was so lovely to read! I know that your Dad must have enjoyed this as well! I know all of the feelings you have had since your father's death. I still miss my own Dad every day. Consider your Dad your own private angel. It is that thought that changes my tears to a smile!
My best,
Deborah~

Wow, I thought my dad being sick for almost four years was like forever. Twenty years is almost unimangiable.
Thanks for thoughts and prayers. Same to you

Thanks Tom.
Anyone can tell from your writings and from just the way you spoke of your father at dinner what he means to you.
I'm glad you two have a special relationship. That's the way father/sons should be.

This piece showed how much you loved your dad then and .... (Reply to this comment)
by popsrocks
...how much you still do. There are no perfect dads.But they are our dads and there are so many different ways they show their love for us.
My dad died just a few years ago. He had been sick for over twenty years before "Andrew" came for him. In those twenty years I never really got to say goodbye. I suppose it was something I just always put off.
I do talk to him now in my prayers. I suppose it's not the same but at least I know I still have him in that way.
Thanks for sharing so much and being so honest. Please accept a small hug and a short prayer from me to you.
Phil

Nice (Reply to this comment)
by Klaxon_Oil
Your posting about your father reminds me of how important family really is. Me and my father get along fine and we're two different people. I'm a computer person and he's more of a machinery person. Even though we conflict about when I'm not good using a piece of machinery in our hearts we both get along. God bless you because by posting that it brought me to the conclusion no matter how much we disagree my father has always supported me.
Thank You
Joseph

Next time I know I'll be in Detroit, I'll bring some beautiful silk flowers with me to put on his grave--and I'll also make copies of your beautiful tribute to share with people I might come across while there!

VN review (Reply to this comment)

I just lost my father on January 30 of this year. He was my best friend. It is very hard. Your father sounded like a wonderful person and I know you must miss him terribly.
God bless.
