I lost my dad ten years ago today. He died of a massive heart attack at the age of 49yrs. His death was sudden & surprising. They say that time heals all wounds yet in my case I feel like time has only made my wounds deeper & deeper. So I would like to dedicate this post to my dad. I wish I had the chance to tell him how much I love him & how much I miss him. He meant so much to me. He was such a hard working & good man & I miss him dearly.
If I had the chance to reach out to him & give him a message, I would tell him this: Dad, I love you & I am so sorry about that fight we had before you passed. I should have never over-reacted. Remember when you asked me what I got you for Christmas? Well your gift came the very next day after you died. It was a book set. You know the one that you used to read prior. Well I got it in a special edition version for you. I had it buried with you. I wish to high heaven that I knew what your reaction would have been. I know in my heart that you would have loved it. Dad, can you ever forgive me? I love you so much.. Allison Posted on 12/21/07, 08:12 pm |

Allison:
I believe that your father only took the good with him when he left this world. That means all the love you had for each other is eternal, the disagreement is not. I am sorry and understand fully. My dad passed in May and I am paralyzed when it comes to trying to do Christmas without him. Your dad is still loving you!

It just never goes away. The 21st was the 6th anniversary for me. Every time we set up the Christmas decor, I have to leave. But there are times when I can put it away and live in his honor. Sending lots of love and understanding.

I understand. My dad died on Christmas day about 20 years ago. He was 49 years old also. I kept his Christmas wrapped Christmas gift for a few years. He had a heart attack riding on a motor cycle. He survived the accident but the complications from the accident led to this death a couple years later. For a few years, I didn't have any contact with my dad's side of the family on Christmas. It was just too fresh in my mind that the last time we were together at Christmas was when Dad died. Then it became a little easier and now each year I have my private sad times and thoughts especially on those days and then remember him with a smile and go on. It will get easier for you but will never the same. Parents and children have their fights at times but a parent and child love each other no matter what and forgiveness is almost automatic. Your dad loves you and it will be hard for you but it will get easier.

My dad died in the same way in March, he was only 52. It was so sudden and thats the worst part, I always thought he'd be here and I don't know if i'll ever be truly happy again. There are days when you can not think about it and I think you need that or you would go crazy but the times when I think of my dad are the hardest because i miss him so much that i get an ache in my stomach and i feel like i want to go somewhere on my own, somewhere with no reminders of him and never come back. I am not the same person i was, it has taken the good out of living. You are not alone and so matter how much time passes there will always be people here to talk to when you need it x
