Never ever dreamed this loss could take such a large chunk out of you. Some things are not comprehendible, the only way to know is to have experienced the situation. Heart bleeds for those whom have lost such special loved ones.
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. They are very well received. Already miss her so bad.

Heart bleeds for those whom have lost such special loved ones. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. They are very well received. Already miss her so bad. I'm with you James. My dad died 10 years ago on the morning of the first day of the World Series when the Bosox swept the Rockies. He was 64. Dad was a complete fan. Grew up in OKC but rooted for the Reds (everyone at that time in Oklahoma pulled for the Cards). He was an iconoclast. Vietnam. Enlisted in the Marines to get out if OKC. Flew jets in the Marines - mariner aviator...iconoclast. First Major League Game I attended was Cubs v Expos - 1984. Cubs did not win. Was also the first beer with my dad. Dog Style. I was 15. Unfortunately can't do that anymore. Always a fan of the 7 game World Series. His hopes for the Bosox-Rox series was Roxs in 4. He never made it to the first game. What strikes me the most (really no pun there) was that he read to me a lot when I was young. When he was in his final slide I read to him so many letters and the Sports' Pages and the novella by Wilder The Bridge of San Luis Rey. I attempt to teach high school English. My dad informs me every day. It takes awhile to comprehend our existence. I'm still enjoy struggling to comprehend mine. Sorry for the catharsis. I'm with you. Your friend, Colin.

Oh man, looks like such a loss feels like it happened yesterday even 10 years later napoleonrags Colin. Lost my little brother 13 years ago and it left a void that could never be filled. I can tell from the way you describe your father's loss it requires a life long adjustment. So these situations have to be managed and learned to live with. Those that nurture us are painful to lose.

We are walking scar tissue. We fill those holes, voids, and vugs with wisdom and often empathy...and humor. My oft retort when friends are struggling is "if you want to go out and have a drink and not talk about it, then I'm your man." A few have taken me up. jamesp I'd settle with some coffee and cigarette(s), too.
