Hello to all my F-150 friends. Today after a semi long sickness and a huge battle i lost my Dad. He had a brain tumor (cancer) that spread like fire and took my father young (68). He died an uneasy death and this has left me confused as i have ever been in my life. Maybe someone here has the answer because the doctors had few to offer. I have grown very concerened about the medical world and its so called advances in healthcare and its practices to date. How can they have a pill for everything and have a cure for nothing???. My heart is now worn and broken but will heal with time i hope but my distrust with medicne will now last a lifetime i fear. I hope no one else has to go through what he did, my Dad fought the battle and fought it hard but in the end lost the war.... Rest in peace Dad i will miss you. your friend and your son....... thanks for everything.

 

All I know is, he raised a fine son.

 

Sorry to hear Buckdropper! You will be in our prayers!

Sorry to hear that Buckdropper.

I know what you have been going thru.
Lost my dad 6 years ago after a 5 months battle.
He had never been sick in his whole life.
67 years old, way too young.

It was the worst period in my life.

You will come over it, but it will take time.

 

sorry to hear that buckdropper
my condolences to you and your family.

 

Sorry to hear about your dad. I'm guessing your dad had cancer. There haven't been near as many advances lately because much money have been diverted from Cancer research to AIDS research. I am VERY familiar with this issue, having survived cancer myself. If i were older I probably would not be alive. Seems movie stars and a few others are more worried about AIDS since they love to share needles and have mulitple partners. I hope your pain is eased in knowing that your father is feeling pretty darn good right now!

 

I am also sorry to hear about your loss, my prayers are with you and your family.

 

sorry to hear about your loss. RIP...

 

My prayers are with your family.

The fact is there are no answers and everybody has got to die. It sucks but that is the way it goes.

The thing to remember it is really much harder on all of us left behind than it is for those who have passed on to a better place. Your Dad is in a better place, no more pain, no more anger, no more hate, no more taxes, no more BS.

Good luck and remember he will always live on through you and it sounds like he did a pretty good job at raising you.

I get choked up when I here things like this because even though I am blessed with two wonderful, healthy parents I know there will come a time where we all have to face what you have just faced and it scares the hell out of me.

Hang in there.

Time and tears will pass , you will be stronger by it .

I am truly sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my mother in 1999, and she was only 49 years old. Take comfort in knowing that God will handle all things. I will pray for you.

 

My great aunt died two days ago 3-6-02 at 4:30 AM of a brain tumor. I went to see her in January, she faded fast. It was diangnosed on Dec. 10th. ON December 9th she drove herself to town, that was the last normal day of her life. Less than three months later she is gone.

I am very very sorry, buckdropper. I know firsthand some of what your family experienced. It is not fair. As others have mentioned, he is in no pain now. I feel for you and your family.

 

I am truly sorry buckdropper - I know how you feel. My Dad passed away 11/19/00 & I still can't believe he's gone sometiimes. I wish I had words that could heal your heart but I don't. I do have tears I can share with you though if that helps.
The guys here are right - your Dad did raise a wonderful son & your Dad is in a better place. I know my Dad watches over me still - too many things seem to work out & I can't explain why except that he is up there pulling for me. Your Dad will do that for you too.
If you tell me your Dad's first name I will write it in the Parish Book of Prayer Intentions at Church & the entire Parish will pray for him. In fact, let me know your Mom's name & yours & anyone else you would like to have added. I just need first names - God will know who I mean!
The ONLY thing that has helped me cope is my unwavering faith in God. I pray that you find the same solace & comfort from Him that I have found.
Remember this too - "every tear is a prayer" so don't feel bad if you cry ok? A friend came up with that & it also helps me on those days when I feel blue.
God Bless buckdropper - we are all here for you & praying for you, your family & your Dad. Let us know if there's anything you need, ok?

 

Sorry to hear that buckdropper

my condolences to you and your family.
