That is quite a story vespa. I'm so glad she got to know how proud her father was of his daughter.
Very bittersweet.

What a tearjerker this thread is. But, maybe its affecting me more because this is hitting very close to home. My dad died just 3 weeks ago, and although I didn't really get to know him until I was almost an adult, it still hit pretty hard. It really puts things in perspective about what really matters in life.

this thread makes me feel like I'm in a little support group. I lost my mother suddenly in 2000. We were very, very close. I think about her everyday. I know others in this thread can relate. Peace to you all.

My grandma passed away last week. an dits been surreal to be so far away. Even though i was very close to her (as i am to my whole family) i couldnt feel anything. I've been going on my normal routine, laughign making jokes, working, eating.......its as if nothign has changed.
I was mad at myself for not be able to feel or emote. it's scary.
:(

i know where you're at slinky. sad indeed.
it has gotten to the point that the aniverssary of my mother's passing comes and goes without mention. my sweet wife slipped me a card this year on that day and i cried my eyes out... i needed that.
(jeez, i'm crying right now.)
=) =(

zed - it'll come. you can't force it. it will feel good and bad once it hits.
don't beat yourself up about it at all. really.

sorry to everyone.

thats what i told myself gruntt, but same thign happened 2 yrs back with ym grandpa's passing...i fucking went out for lunch right after with friends.
i always thought since it was the first time i was experiencing someone close passing away and i was so far away i probably didnt knwo how to react.....anyways i hope it hits me sometime...cuz it is scary to feel numb.
blah.
anyways love to everyone

WHY DID I ONLY HAVE 3 DAYS WITH HIM? i am still so confused and mad. i gotta get out of this thread before i lose it here at work.
- gruntt0
tim - if i could hug you, i would. if it could give you something to hit, i would. if i could take you out drinking, i would.
i can't imagine what you must be going through. stay strong man.

i am actually having a hard time now, my extended fam lives in mexico, mom dad and bro live in mich and my other bro who is my best friend is moving back home too this weekend. just hard to realize that family is more and more important and they get farther away.
