R.I.P Father (11-18-47 through 1-31-15)

I don't expect anyone to fully read this or post anything. I just wanted to do a semi-private obituary that he didn't want publicly so I can remember all he did for me.

Thank you so much for all the love and support you gave me. I honestly couldn't ask for a better man to raise me and teach me what it's like to be one myself. I'm so sorry you spent almost all of your final years living in hell, misery and pain because of all the health problems you had, but I'm glad that you started getting better during your last couple months. You were, and still are the strongest individual I've ever seen in my life. You supported me and every decision I made (aside from the ridiculously stupid ones). You gave me everything in the will, but I would honestly give it all away to anyone just to have you around again. I truly hope their is some form of life after death so I can see and talk to you again after my time. Again, I couldn't have asked for someone more loving and caring for me, and I wish everything mom and I did to try and help you through all the pain kept you around longer. I will love you always and forever.

Odd place for a eulogy

Sorry to hear about your father's passing but might I ask why here?

That was a nice eulogy. :(

RIP to your father.

edit: if this is some trolling you're doing, then gtfo. Your words are still nice tho.

Sorry to hear about your loss.God Bless you and your family in these hard times.I do know how you feel.I lost my father last October from fibrosis on the lungs.The last couple of years watching my father's health go further down was hard.Without warning he had trouble breathing one morning,brought him to the hospital for treatment,a week later he died.I'm not going to tell the long version,but it happened that fast,without warning. Just remember the good times and know he is smiling down on you right now.Have faith.

@brimmul777: My condolences to you as well.

.

sorry to hear that. it's my all time nightmare that someday i'll be going through it as well.

Condolences. Just as long it's from the heart then it's all good.

Sorry to hear that.

@johnd13: No trolling at all, I promise. I wouldn't joke about something like this. That would be inappropriate and extremely messed up.

@korvus: I chose here because I was thinking about him, wanted to do one, and I was already here.

I'm sorry for your loss Trent. You wrote a good, touching, heartfelt tribute.

I'm glad to see people being respectful and supportive =) Maybe you didn't choose a bad place after all Trent =)

@trentmilfer: I read your post. I'm sorry man.

It's one thing I'm trying to get myself ready for in life. I CAN'T even imagine losing my Dad or Mom. I feel like I would curl up into a ball and not leave the corner for weeks when it happens. I'm sorry you lost such a loved one in life and hope you find a good way to overcome it. Memories are great, lessons learned are great, but I know nothing can replace being able to see, speak and touch them. Even a simple hug would seem so far away and gone after they are gone. I'm so sorry for your loss and wish you the best of luck @trentmilfer. I can feel the sadness of what it would be like and wish nobody would ever have to go through this.

I wish you the best man, I hope you are doing ok

@ryangcnx-2: It's good that you can't imagine it and that you foresee it being a very hard time in your life. It means you love your father and probably that he loves you in return. I felt absolutely nothing when I lost mine...at first I thought it might be shock, but it's been a year and I still don't feel anything. No loss, no sadness, nothing. So while it will probably be quite painful when it happens, remember that it's painful because there was love =)

Lost my father a few years ago, very difficult thing to go through. Post it wherever you feel like it man.

Sorry to hear that

I'm sorry to hear of your father's passing. It sounds like he was a good man. I know it's not easy to lose someone close to you, whether it be friends or family.

Hard to think of a place that would be fitting for this. I think the OT community here is a good choice, given the supportive responses.

Yeah, now that I re-read that post it sounds a bit rude. I didn't mean anything bad by it, I was just wondering if the TC had chosen to post it here because his father was a gamer or maybe even part of the OT community.

That actually brought a tear to my eye, that was beautiful, and I am so sorry for your loss.

Rest in peace good man.

can't think why you would look for sympathy in a game forum

but rest in peace, i guess

@supa_badman: I never was looking for sympathy. The beginning says "I don't expect anyone to fully read this or post anything. I just wanted to do a semi-private obituary that he didn't want publicly so I can remember all he did for me." I did it so I can have it in a place where I can always see it. I honestly didn't expect, nor care if anyone posted on it. I do appreciate other's kindness, however.

Very Sad.With all do Respect,if I may ask,how did your father pass on.

Thank You korvus for being Kind.

@brimmul777: Of course. And if you ever feel the need to talk I'm just a PM away.

Condolence and RIP

Sorry to hear of your loss. Although I still have my parents, I've lost all my grandparents. Both on my father's side wasted slowly away, so seeing the pass was both painful and relieving at the same time. I know it may sound cliche, but it's always true. It does get better with time.

@brimmul777: He had a stroke in his sleep. So I at least have the relief of knowing it was painless.

Condolences , RIP.

Tbh i'd rather die than go through a tragedy like this...

Condolences. R>I>P> nice words, as a dad, i know this must have been hard to say, as it would be for my son to write. You did good. Don't erase it, ever.
