I lost my Father tonight

My deepest sympathies. Sorry to hear that.
 
My sincerest condolences to you and your family.
 
sorry for your loss :<
 
that sucks man. sorry to hear, losing a parent is rough at any age. best wishes to you and your family during this hard time.
 
sorry for your loss,
bro
 
I'm so sorry to hear that HumorMe. I'm sure he was an outstanding man especially since we have you to judge by. I wish I could we could help you right now but know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
 
My best wishes are with you, unfortunately having worked in medicine I have seen this happen far too many times than I care to remember, perhaps thats why Im a lil weird, but I know that alot of people find comfort in thinking that if you believe he's gone then he is, but if you believe that he is still with you making the flowers bloom, the sun sparkle and make little children smile then he is not truly gone, if you believe he is that strong...to make us all feel alive again. Best wishes and condolensces and stay strong for your family. Be their rock!
 
Thanks to everybody who has responded. I never knew the good people here at elitefitness could lift my spirits as you all have.

Well, it's been a tough evening. My father had been doing so well. He had four major operations last year which were all life threatening and to be honest I don't know how he made it through them. He had gotten to point of rehabilitation that he was able to function quite well.

He sat down at the supper table tonight and took one bite from a pork chop and immediately got choked. He ran outside for some reason and by the time my mother got out there he was gasping for air. He motioned for my mom that he was choking and my mom tried the Himelick manuever on him but wasn't successful. She called 911 and they were here in an instant but he had already gone limp. His lung capacity wasn't very good so he actually died right on the driveway.

going to be a busy next couple of days so I will check in later.

Thanks to all.
 
I'm sorry for your loss, HumorMe.

I hope you feel better.

i lost both my parents and it never gets easier but often times i think of how wellli am doing and how proud they would be.... my deepest condolences man... pm me if you ever need to talk.
 
deepest condolences bro. i wish you and your family the very best in what ever comes your way.
 
Very sorry to here this, I hope you can find some peace within the pain. My thoughts are with you and your familly.
 
Sorry to hear the bad news, at least he died with family and not alone. It's horrible that he made it through all of that but then died while eating supper. Makes you remember just how fragile life can be, and that you should live it to it's fullest while you able.

My grandfather died a few years back on a Saturday. He was napping in his favorite recliner with a glass of scotch by his side, died peacefully in his sleep. We thought he was just sleeping, didn't realize it until hours later. I keep that in my mind at all times, because you just never know when it will happen. I only hope that when I die it will be as peaceful as my grandfather's.

The next few days will be rough, but take a moment to stand back and enjoy the people around you during this time. Your dad will be with you forever if you let him.
 
HM, my thoughts are along the same lines as everybody else. I'll be thinking about you and your family through this tough time. May you and yours be blessed.
 
Sorry to hear this bro... Take care... My prayers are with you and your family.

You know, after all of the things he had beaten and come back to get better and return to a nearly normal physical and mental state....I would have never guessed in a million years he would have died by getting choked on a piece of pork chop.

Life is precious and so much can change in 2 minutes that will change your world forever.

I was very, very close to my father and he has always been my hero and mentor. I have always said that if I can only be half the man and gentleman he was, I would consider my life to be a success. Cherish your parents because they are the only ones you have.

Again, I appreciate all of the outpouring of love and support you all have given me and I will never forget it. Thank you to all.
 
I just read this thread. I'm so sorry to hear this. Hang in there.

As long as someone is remembered, they are truly never gone.

I'm just glad he spend his final moments with you and your family. And not in pain, hooked up to some IV's in some cold hospital bed alone. I'd hate to see a family member in that situation.
 
Thanks again everyone. Arrangements are finally finished and I am at total peace with everything. So many local friends have responded that I am amazed.

People are so good. I have been told stories of some of the things he has done for people that I never knew about. That was the kind of man he was. He always wanted to help others but never wanted the accolades or the recognition for doing them. He always seemed to work behind the scenes. Not many people left like that.

These last 24 hours have felt like 3 days. Hard for me to believe it is only Friday. Seems like a week has gone by. Thanks everybody!

I'm glad you are able to find some solace in this. I hope everthing keeps going well, considering what has happened.
 
a good movie to watch is Big Fish. Really shows how remember a person's life really overshadows ones final moments and makes it feel insignificant in comparison to all he/she has done beforehand.

HM, how are you holding up?

I'm doing pretty good so far. The hardest has been, we had a dvd made from a large assortment of pictures from his 73 years of life. The flood of memories watching that dvd was overwhelming for me.

We had about 375-400 people for visitation tonight and it started at 5 and finally finished at about 8:30. I am totally exhausted right now and more people are beginning to show up at my house as I type this.

Again, I appreciate all of the encouraging words and pm's I have received. Your words are comforting for me. Thanks everybody.
 
Humor Me.
I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad.

If you need anything we are your extended family here;
so please let us know.

Thank you to everybody who responded with their prayers and thoughts.

The funeral service was yesterday and was the largest (in attendance) I have ever seen for our town anyway. It was a standing room only service. It gave me a warm feeling knowing that he made such an impression on peoples lives. He was the epitomy of a Christian man in every sense of the word. By far not perfect but he lived his life by example.

These last four days have been physically and emotionally draining. I probably won't even work this week because I am so tired. Thanks again for everything you all have said on this thread. :)
 
A Man with a Servant heart is very rare these days...

I know a couple of them in our Church, and they stand out without even knowing it..
Much more so than the Leaders.
