well its been 11 months

Postby SFDdelta1 » Sat Mar 20, 2010 10:26 pm

Its been 11 months today since my dad died. Someways its seams like 11 years and someways it seams like 11 hours.

This has been the hardest 11 months I have ever had.

I can only hope this next year will be easier. Not sure I can take another year like this past year. I sure did find out how my true friends are this past year and who used me for what I had.

Will keep you in our prayers and hope the pain fades a little each day. But always remember the good times and laughs and that will help.

The first year was the toughest for me. Will pray for you.

17 years and counting brother. The way you feel....it will get a little easier, but take it from me. I was 18...I'm 35 now. I can see, think or hear things that trigger a flood to this day. Just remember....To never forget is the strongest love you can honor him with.

It will get easier but it won't ever go away.. I catch myself saying something my dad would say or just looking down at my hands and seeing his hands and it brings the memories back. But it will get easier..

I feel your pain man, March 11 was one year for me since my dad died , and of all things my wife's Doc picked that day for her to have her C-section, its definatly an emotional ride unlike any i have ever been on, and its definatly not a fun one. It does make you appreciate just how important family is, and appreciate your good friends that help you through such a tough time in life.

Year two was easier than year one for me, but like the ones before me have stated, it never goes away (as it shouldn't). There will always be times when his memory is as strong as the day is long & the pain you feel will be as intense as the day you lost him. That's just how it is. There have been many times that I've said to myself "man i wish dad were here to see this". All the while knowing that he actually is seeing it (just not in the flesh) is comforting. Hang in there E.

9 years on March 17 for me. Seems like it was yesterday. Losing him when I was young makes it seem to get even harder the older I get. Life sucks at times, but it's the hard times that build you up.

My mom died dec 11 2006 when i was 21 and a junior at msu. You talk about a hard next year, but i pulled thru. The first year is the worst, you dont get over it, you just get used to it kinda like that pink flyod song "Comfortably Numb"

But you will get past it, just dont dwell on what you cant control or fix. Get busy with life and you'll get better!
