My condolences to you and your family. Anytime is a terrible time to lose a close family member, especially a parent. But the holiday season makes it even tougher. Just hang tough man and make sure to stay in contact with friends & family during such a rough time.

Yeah. Therapy. Indulge.

I am so sorry for your loss. Been there and still miss my Dad.

I wish there were some magical words that would make the pain go away..........but i know no such words exist.
Just know that you are in my prayers.
My Dad has been gone 34 years now, and i still miss him and his guidance.
The pain will ease with time, but never go away.
In a way thats a good thing........you are never truely gone as long as there is someone here that thinks of you and misses you.

Just got back late last night. It's been a rough week and I need a little routine for a while till I sort out all these emotions. Glad you guys are here to get me back to the routine I have come to love.

Thanks to all my friends here on Packershome for lifting me up and letting me come to you when I needed it.

It is greatly appreciated.
