Never thought I would write one of these...not that it couldn't happen..just am a mess.

My dad fell out of bed about 2 weeks ago and hit his head on a nightstand. 3 days later, he was undergoing an operation to remove fluid from his head and stop 2 vessels from bleeding. Quite challenging when he is taking cumadin and aspirin. He came though surgery alright as he was quite spry the next day. That was the last day that I seen him semi-coherent. Somehow, outlook was always positive..He was walking around, even with a horrible 5" diameter scar on the side of his head.
They moved him to a regional hospital to undergo some therapy- Many kinds...but he just stopped talking about a week ago..My mother, I can call her that but she is his new wife of 10yrs. called me on Thursday to tell me and my 5 brothers she doesn't know if everything was going to be alright. Never would I think that I would get a call less than 48hrs later from one of my brothers notifying me of his passing. It's all just so surreal. I have been crying all day- We were not very close for various reasons, but he was still my father.
I had plans of actually getting closer to him and now I have missed that chance- I did get to talk to him and hug him and let him know I loved him before he went silent
Thank god for that

I love you dad, you can now rest.
 
I am sorry to hear of your loss. My condolences to you and yours.

I am sorry to here this about your father. My father passed suddenly in 1989. A heart attack. I've always regretted the things we never said to each other before that day. A few years back I was with my mother in the hospital for just over a month as she slowly died. We talked. We prayed. We joked. We signed durable power of attorney and took care of other details. And yet... it was certainly no easier than when my father passed. My condolences and prayers go out to you and your family in your time of sorrow.

Sorry to hear of your loss.

"It's all just so surreal."

That's it, when someone close to you or someone you know well passes on fast/quickly, It does seem/feel surreal.

With Time, there will be better days.
 
My condolences to you and your family.

I lost my Dad when I was 9. I can remember him walking out the door and me asking if I could go with him. He usually took me and my sister whenever he went somewhere.
He said, "I've got something to do and I'll be back in a little while." That was the last time I saw him. Once in a while I'll have a dream where he walks in with a big smile on his face and I give him a bear hug and tell him how much I love him. He never says anything, he just smiles.
 
Very sorry to hear you've lost your father. My condolences go out to you and your family.
 
I'm so sorry you must go though this I too kniw what it feel like
I lost my mom in 2005 I was cooking breakfast for we were talking and she just stopped talking and slid sideways in her chair, heart attack. Your need all the support you can get from family & friends
Don't Let the regrets and should haves eat away at you,,, that kind of thinking does no good,it almost did me in.
 
My condolences to you and your family. Prayers sent out, losing a loved one is always a tough journey to travel no matter what the situation is.
 
Thank you all..it means a great deal to me.
I am one of six boys in my family. I could be mad at the line of unfortunate mistakes that one neurologist made in the diagnosis when he was take in 2 days before being flown into Boise for surgery, but I am not. 1 simple MRI, CT scan would have caught this before tragedy.
I am not mad yet, but I am sure that stage is coming.

Humbled is the only word that I have now. Thank you all.
