The reason why
To those that know me here, you would have noticed that I haven't been on as much as usual. These last few months have been tough for me, as I was given bad news that my dad had at first 12 months to live. Then weeks went on and I was told 4 months. The last week I was given the worst news that he had only one week to live. Because he lived far away from me, I had it planned to go and see him when I got my tax back, which is to be in July sometime. But as of Tuesday night, I got a call to tell me of my dad's passing. it hits you in a strange, sad and lonely way, that now knowing that I have no parents now. Although knowing I am not alone, with friends and family, still doesn't change the feeling of loss of a parent. If I can live on with the loss of my mum from eight years ago, I know that I will eventually move on and live my life and be stronger for it.Just a note to those that still have their parents, don't wait till the last minute, or wait till the next time you see them, be a part of their lives for as much as you can. Nature can be nasty sometimes, and can take them away from you with a blink of an eye.
Will catch up with you all soon. Take care

but we notice that you was absent for long time...
Hope you are find and strong to handle tough situation..
we are all here with you dear...
Im sorry he did not get to see you either. That is sad . But you will remember him as he was . You should Go to the funeral at least to pay your final respect. Best wishes.
Heartfelt sympathy goes out to you.
The loss of a parent is so hard as they brought you into this world and that kind of love binds you forever. May sweet memories be in your heart and console it.
Take care... Love and hugs
I am lucky enough to have both parents still alive, and yes I do appreciate them, we are very close.
Allow yourself time to grieve, and let your family and friends support you now, you need them.
I do not have any of my parents alive any more, my mom died in 2000 and my dad in 2012. I still miss them a lot and I do speak to them when alone... It is hard to be left as the oldest in the family, but in a way you have no choice. You live on and you miss them, but you do come true and the pain will be less over the years. May your dads soul rest in peace and take care of you, you hear!
Nicefeet, it is unfortunate that I will not be able to make it to the funeral. But all in all, I will remember all the good times and dad will know why I am unable to attend and understand why. I will miss our conversations, for we had many over the phone, and if I was lucky I would see him once a year.
This is what I made today in honor of him, and uploaded it to facebook.
You are right. A sad reality is we usually hit 40 before we start having questions about some things. In my case that was just a few years too slow. A thousand questions I now have as I learn more about his life before me (Dad was in his 40s when he got married and had me). No one left to ask. :(
Treasure your parents if they are still alive. Ask them the questions now. The time left to ask is not infinite. The clock ticks.
Truly sorry that his life ended so soon before you had a chance to see him...take care and thinking of you
Sorry for your loss and even more so on your dilemma. It is very hard when fate is just not cooperating with you.
But I will pray and God Bless you both...Take care..
And yes on your advice.
