My Dad

Many many prayers are being sent for you and your family, Michael. I'm sorry about your loss.
 
my Dad is in hospice, i got the phone call yesturday from his doctor. The doctor said if i wanted to see my father while he is still alive now would be a good time. I just got my knee operated on as well ( so the ride up there is going to be challenging). I spoke with my sister , who lives here in georgia, and we are driving up to connecticut next thursday. I dont know if hell even recognize me but i need to see him for the last time before he passess. Its been a long rough road. The doctor says he may have 1 or 2 weeks or maybe 2 months,,,or maybe a day. Hope ill make it in time. Sorry to hear about your loss.My prayers go out to you and yours-- thank you-marekz

Michael,

I am very sorry to hear this. I lost my father last year and was my best friend. All I can say is talk to him daily.....I still talk with my father as though he is still here.

Just know we all have our regrets and I had mine with my father. But keep in mind you are his son and was proud of you know matter what! Finish his knife and keep it upon a mantle and pass it down from generation to generation.

Hang in there bud, I know its tough...but the pain will start to ease a little at a time.

Wish you and yours nothing but the best!

Michael,
Very sorry to read of your Fathers passing. The passage of time is something that does not come easy to us. Memories of your Father will come in waves that can be overwhelming. With the passage of time you will appreciate these memories.
My Father died 6 years ago. He and I play golf often. We watched the PGA tournements on TV often. On Sundays I still want to call him up and say "Did you see that shot?".
God bless you and your memories of your father.
 
I was privileged to grow up working in my grandfather's manufacturing plant. It's where I learned to love the smell of hot steel, and he taught me a lot about doing things right. One of the things Granddad taught me is "It doesn't matter who will ever see it. Do every task like it goes out with your name signed to it."

Granddad passed away 20 years ago, but the lessons he taught me live in everything I make. And every once in a while I feel him looking over my shoulder, just like he would in the shop, and I hear him say what he always said - "Son, you're doing a good job. Keep it up."

Bless you, Michael. If you keep living the lessons your father taught you, that pain will eventually turn sweet.
 
Michael.
My thoughts are with you...
I lost my Dad about 5 yrs. ago and to this day I often look at the things I do and wish he was here to share with me. I miss him, I hope he is watching and sharing.

I am sorry for your loss. My father was never around so I do not know what it is like to have a father that actually cares. I am glad you had a father that did. Being a father myself now I know it is sometimes very hard to be a dad. Some days fathers just want to pull their or your hair out, but good ones don't. Yours stuck with you which takes a real man. Celebrate that fact, your father was a real man who really cared for you. Celebrate the good times you had and all the good things he taught you. In time you will probably notice you sound just like him and he lives on through you. I see it in my friends who's fathers I know all the time. And don't kick yourself for that knife you did not get finished, when you get it done, he will see it and he'll always be with you.

Sorry for your loss, the pain will fade with time but the fond memories don't. Finish the knife, there will probably be tears mixed with the grinding dust, but it will give you time away from others to reflect on all the good times you two had together.
My dad passed away in 82, I still miss him.
You never really appreciate your parents until you have children, you never really appreciate your children until you loose a parent.

God bless
