My Dad passed away at 1:20 this afternoon, I was there when he died. It was the hardest thing I have ever been through. I don't know what im going to do without him.


I have been working on a knife for him since last Christmas and I kept putting it off. I wish I would have finished it so he could have seen it.

Michael, I'm sorry, buddy.
My heart goes out to you, friend.
My Dad has just now been gone 10 years.
It's a void that can never be filled. Nothing can ever take their place.
Remember and relish every memory.
I don't know if this will help or not, but it's the last paragraph on my Introduction page:

All in all, anything I have here of value, anything about me that is good, and all the pleasures I derive from my love of the outdoors is a direct gift from the time my Father spent with me in the great outdoors, and the time my Mother spent with me when I was home.
There is a little bit of my Father in every knife I make, and it is to his memory that I have dedicated my knifemaking endeavours.

He walks beside me every time I enter the woods, and I know he's looking over my shoulder at every knife I make!


Thanks, Dad!
 
So sorry to hear of your loss. Cherish your memories of him, honor his legacy, and know that his spirit is smiling down upon you. My thoughts are with you...
 
It's hard. My folks died within a week of each other during our honeymoon. I still miss them, but it does get less painful after a while.
 
I'm sorry for your loss.
A year ago my sister was found on the floor of her room in a grand-mal seizure, the doctors found out that she had a lime size tumor in her brain. That moment, thinking that I could lose my sister, that tomorrow I may never be able to just talk to her, made me feel as though I had squandered all the time I had spent with her before. I know how you feel, and it's because you love your father, really what better gift for a father than to see your love for him! It's hard now, and I'm sorry for the pain you must be feeling.

My thoughts go out to you and your family in these times of sorrow.
 
Michael,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Parents should always be there, because they always have been there. I do know how hard your loss is. Prayers and thoughts are with you.
 
Michael, I too am sorry for your loss. I'm 29 and lost my dad in 2002. I wasn't there when he died, he had been unconscious/coma for about a week when we decided to do a DNR order for him. He died in the night shortly after I left to go home.

I lost my mom this past February. And, (unfortunately) I was there when she died. I say unfortunately because I was in the ER room while they were trying to get blood from her and she coded...that whole scene is etched into my mind and I hope one day I can forget it.

I hope, for his sake and yours, that he went peacefully. You have my deepest sympathies.

What I would do with that knife you had been working on is finish it and put it into a memorialized case with a picture or something cherished of his. I'm doing something similar in rememberance of my mom.

Take care.
 
I am sorry to hear this. There is nothing anyone can say to make the pain go away just know that you and your family will be in my prayers.
 
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss Michael. My dad 13 years ago and Mom almost a year ago. Our parents live on, either through us or in us. Lets make them proud!

I lost my father when I was 16, and it bothered the heck out of me when people said they were sorry, at that young age it was hard to understand. I feel for you, finish the knife and frame it with some good memory pictures. Sort of like a personal memorial for him, that way he gets the knife and you will always have something to remember the good times you had with him.
My heart goes out to you.

I am very sorry for your loss. When ever we loose someone close to us we easily feel we could have done better by them, at least I do. To make amends in my mind I try to do better with those who are left and who come into my life.
 
Man Im very sorry to hear about your loss, I also lost my father on my birthday 5 years ago. He was 45 and my best friend in this world, believe me buddy it gets better, My family will keep you in our prayers,Charlie
