my father died at age 59 of unknown causes.
i hadn't thought of him today until just now though.

My father is still living but I haven't spoken to him for years, nor do I intend to. I am VERY angry with him for a host of reasons. Sad, I know, but that doesn't diminish my sadness for those of you who had GREAT fathers.

My father had some good qualities that I believe I got. I have fought very hard to discard the negative qualities.

For those fathers are no longer on this earth, just take your dad's greatness and let it live on inside of you. This way your father will live forever.

I've always had massive respect for my father. Honestly, he was a total stand up guy and I completely admire him. He grew up during the depression, started his own business at twelve, he bought an old Ford for five dollars, fixed it and sold it for fifty. He also enlisted in the navy right after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, they made him a corpsman and he was awarded two purple hearts, he fought on Tarawa and Iwo Jima.

With the old breed...

Between D-Day and Father's Day, June has been pretty depressing for me. My dad was in the invasion, although he crossed the channel the day after D-Day. Seeing him on his death bed as leukemia killed him a couple of years ago is unfortunately the strongest memory I have of him. I wish I could chase the depressing parts out of my memory and remember all the good stuff.

I visited my father two days before he died. Helping my mother move him and change his diaper was very depressing. At least he died at home surrounded by the people that cared for him. I know for a fact he wanted to die at least six months earlier but my mother wouldn't let him. My father always looked out for everyone above himself and I felt my mother was being selfish but I can't judge...they were together almost forty years.

Sorry to here it bro. My dad is still around. His dad on the other hand pretty much raised me. I was very close to him and he actually passed away 18 yrs ago yesterday.

All these Father's day threads made me sad, on Father's day I was at the beach and didnt notice until my boyfriend and a couple of friends said they had to call their dads I was like "why?" and then it hit me, I was bitter for a couple of minutes and then took it out on the lobster I was eating... but today I come back and read these threads and get teary..... damn cancer.... damn death... damn not to have my daddy
